Preparation and oxygen permeation of U‐shaped perovskite hollow‐fiber membranes

Abstract

The oxygen permeation of dense U-shaped perovskite hollow-fiber membranes based on Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 Co 0.8 Fe 0.2 O 3Àd prepared by a phase inversion spinning process is reported. The perovskite hollow fibers with totally dense wall were obtained with the outer diameter of 1.147 mm and the inner diameter of 0.691 mm. The dependences of the oxygen permeation on the air flow rate on the shell side, the helium flow rate on the core side, the oxygen partial pressures, and the operating temperatures were experimentally investigated. According to the Wagner theory, it follows that the oxygen transport through the U-shaped hollow-fiber membrane is controlled by both surface reaction and bulk diffusion at the temperature ranges of 750-950 C. High oxygen permeation flux of 3.0 ml/(min cm 2 ) was kept for about 250 h at 950 C under the conditions of the air feed flow rate of 150 ml/min and the helium flow rate of 50 ml/min.

A CO2‐stable hollow‐fiber membrane with high hydrogen permeation flux

“…A membrane with a U-shaped hollow-fiber configuration was adopted because the U-shaped geometry offers several advantages. 30,31 First, the wall thickness of hollow-fiber membranes is thin, resulting in a relatively high H 2 permeation flux. Second, the U-shaped hollow-fiber membrane is easily sealed at high temperatures.…”

“…Details regarding the spinning set-up and used procedures can be found in our previous publication. 30 Briefly, the starting suspension slurry consisted of 45.65 wt% LWM04 powder, 42.63 wt% N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) (as the solvent), 10.66 wt% poly-ethersulfone (PESf) (as the polymer binder), and 1.06 wt% polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) (as the additive). Deionized water and tap water were used as internal and external coagulants, respectively.…”

Novel asymmetric anode-supported hollow fiber solid oxide fuel cell

“…Therefore, to increase the electrode porosity is an effective approach to achieve high power density. Recently, a spinning/phase inversion process has been applied to fabricate ceramic hollow fiber membranes with thin wall and asymmetric structure in our group [22]. During the spinning process, a highly asymmetric structure comprised of a finger-like internal and sponge-like external layer can be prepared by using different internal and external coagulants [23].…”

Oxy‐fuel combustion for CO2 capture using a CO2‐tolerant oxygen transporting membrane

“…26,27 Experimental PLNCG powder was prepared through the sol-gel route with citric acid and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). 26 The U-shaped 28 PLNCG hollow fiber membranes were prepared by phase-inversion spinning followed by sintering. 7,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] Details can be found in our previous work.…”
