Objective
The project will focus on the development of a membrane/membrane module toolbox (containing silica, zirconium phosphate and high temperature proton conducting membranes) for hydrogen separation from various process streams in the (petro)chemical industry. The applications range from rather low temperature applications (150-400C, e.g. the water gas shift reaction) via medium temperatures (600C, steam reforming) to very high temperature applications (>800C, e.g. dehydrogenation reactions) and are of high interest to all industrial partners. The scientific prospects are the development of membranes that can work under harsh (e.g. high temperature, steam containing) environments. Membranes and membrane modules which can operate under these conditions are currently not available and technical progress in industry is hindered thereby.
