METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FORMING A SUPPORTED GAS SEPARATION MEMBRANE

摘要

A method in a specific pattern (40) making a gas separation membrane system by providing a porous support material (12) having deposited thereon a metal membrane layer and imposing upon the surface (16) in a specific pattern (40) thereof certain surface characteristics that provide for surface activation that enhances the placement thereon of a subsequent metal membrane layer. The gas separation membrane system is useful in the separation of hydrogen from hydrogen - containing gas streams.
