Hydrogen Separation Using Dense Composite Membranes

Part 2: Process Integration and Scale-Up for H2 Production and CO2 Sequestration

  • Chapter
Inorganic Membranes for Energy and Environmental Applications

Abstract

This chapter describes the scale-up of dense composite hydrogen transport membranes that can separate hydrogen from carbon dioxide and other components of water-gas shift (WGS) mixtures derived from coal gasification. The primary application considered is a hydrogen separation system for production of hydrogen from synthesis gas produced from a coal-fired Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant. A companion chapter reviews the fundamentals of dense composite inorganic membranes used for the transport of hydrogen [1]. Another benefit of the hydrogen membranes is the ability to retain carbon dioxide (CO2) at high pressure from the balance of the membrane feed. This feature reduces the compression cost for the CO2 captured.
