| Summary: | The permeation characteristic of a flat sheet Pd/Ag membrane was investigated experimentally by using pure hydrogen. A 77wt.%Pd/23wt.%Ag membrane with 25µm thickness and 0.02m diameter was used. The hydrogen permeation mole flux was investigated under various reference membrane temperatures (423-723K), for upstream pressures of 0.21-0.29MPa, and feed flow rate of 1.39x10-4mol/s. In all cases, the downstream pressure was set at atmospheric. Experimental results demonstrate the linear relationship between the hydrogen permeation flux and difference in square root of hydrogen partial pressure between the upstream side and downstream side, regardless of reference temperatures. This indicates the compatibility of the Pd/Ag membrane used in the present study with Sieverts’ Law. At sufficiently low temperature level, the hydrogen permeation flux is found to be very sensitive with the changes in the temperature. |
