ANALYSIS OF FLOW-RATE CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH-OUTPUT MEMBRANE EQUIPMENT FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ULTRA-PURE HYDROGEN

摘要

Flow-rate characteristics of high-output membrane vessels used for the production of ultra-pure hydrogen from chemically non-interacting hydrogen-containing gaseous mixtures are analyzed within the framework of an ideal-substitution model. Applicability of the model in question for design and production parameters of high-output, high-temperature membrane vessels is confirmed. The possibility of a significant increase in the output of the membrane vessels under consideration is demonstrated by a reduction in the thickness of the hydrogen-selective membrane.
