Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a method for protecting a hydrogen separation membrane from particulate contaminants in the process of producing or purifying hydrogen by using the separation membrane. The protection layer, wherein a cermet is formed by coating a ceramic and a metal able to cause surface movement of hydrogen molecules and hydrogen atoms to the surface of the separation membrane, plays the role of blocking contact between the separation membrane and particles (contaminant or catalyst) contained in the gas. In this way, it is possible to improve the durability of the hydrogen separation membrane and to minimize effects on the hydrogen permeability of the separation membrane.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A separation membrane protective layer structure comprising: a separation membrane protective layer of cermets which are prepared by coating a surface of a dense hydrogen separation membrane layer with ceramics and metals adapted to cause surface migration of hydrogen molecules and hydrogen atoms, wherein the cermets have a columnar structure. 2. The separation membrane protective layer structure according to claim 1 , wherein the separation membrane protective layer has a thickness of 50 nm to 3 μm, and the average diameter of metal and ceramic coated and grown on the separation membrane layer ranges from 5 nm to 2 μm. 3. The separation membrane protective layer structure according to claim 1 , wherein the separation membrane protective layer has a porosity of 5 to 50%. 4. The separation membrane protective layer structure according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic components include any one of oxide-based, non-oxide-based, and nitride-based components, or a mixture thereof. 5. The separation membrane protective layer structure according to claim 1 , wherein voids are formed between the cermets so as to expose a part of the surface of the dense hydrogen separation membrane layer. 6. A method of manufacturing a hydrogen separation membrane protective layer comprising: coating a surface of a dense hydrogen separation membrane layer with metals and ceramics to form columnar cermets.
