Method of producing hydrogen using solid electrolyte membrane

摘要

A process for producing synthesis gas and hydrogen by passing a compressed and heated oxygen-containing gas mixture (5) into a reactor (6) having at least one solid electrolyte oxygen ion transport membrane (7) to separate transported oxygen. Organic fuel (9) reacts with the oxygen to form synthesis gas. The resulting synthesis gas (15) is separated into hydrogen gas (17) through at least one hydrogen transport membrane (30) to separate the transported hydrogen in the same or different separator (16). <IMAGE>
