Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

A mathematical model for membrane extraction of high-purity hydrogen from methane steam-conversion products that takes into account hydrogen outflow through a palladium membrane (V-1 alloy) and chemical reactions among components of the starting gas mixture in the presence of a carbon monoxide conversion catalyst is presented. A practical example shows that the presented model describes adequately and rather accurately the main parameters of the model membrane reformer with the carbonmonoxide catalyst and allows the optimal technological regimes to be selected.
