A composite membrane material characterized by comprising: a hydrogen-permeable membrane which is selectively permeable to hydrogen and has been formed by rolling into a thickness of 30 mum or smaller, in which it is difficult for the membrane by itself to retain its shape; and, disposed on either side of the hydrogen-permeable membrane, a shape-retention mesh constituted of a wire made of a material selected among high-melting metals which do not thermally diffuse into the hydrogen-permeable membrane. It is further characterized in that the shape-retention mesh and the hydrogen-permeable membrane have been superposed and pleated in an unbonded state so that they are separable and have a shape in which the hydrogen-permeable membrane has a surface area at least 3 times per unit area. This material is used to constitute an element for hydrogen separation. |
