Abstract
A membrane is described for purifying or separating hydrogen from a multi-component gas stream such as syngas. This membrane uses a molecular pre-treatment, a transition metal, fluorine containing polymer, carbon fibers and carbon matrix sintered on a supportive screen. The membrane may be a bilayer membrane comprised of a layer containing high surface area carbon and another layer containing lower surface area carbon. Methods for purifying hydrogen are also described.
Claims10
A method for hydrogen purification, comprising:
- providing a hydrogen comprising a multi-stage hybrid membrane, each membrane comprising a screen, a first layer formed on the screen and a second layer formed on the first layer;
- pumping a gas stream through the hydrogen concentrator, the gas stream comprising syngas including hydrogen and at least one additional gas;
- and
- separating hydrogen from the mixture containing hydrogen and the at least one additional gas;
- wherein pumping the gas stream comprises keeping the hydrogen moving within the hydrogen concentrator and pulsing in the at least one additional gas.
