PROCESS FOR PREPARING PALLADIUM ALLOY COMPOSITE MEMBRANES FOR USE IN HYDROGEN SEPARATION, PALLADIUM ALLOY COMPOSITE MEMBRANES AND PRODUCTS INCORPORATING OR MADE FROM THE MEMBRANES

摘要

The invention is directed to a method for producing Palladium alloy composite membranes that are useful in applications that involve the need to separate hydrogen from a gas mixture. Further, in one embodiment, a Pd alloy composite membrane is realized in which the Pd alloy film is 1 µm or less in thickness and resistant to poisoning by sulfide compounds. Further, the Pd alloy composite membranes are applied to a number of applications, such a fuel reforming.
