“…Pd and Pd-based membranes have been studied for the separation of hydrogen and its isotopes (Aoki et al, 1998;Dudek, 2007;Evans and Harris, 1983;Matsuyama et al, 2007) particularly at temperatures below 200 8C, yet interesting opportunities exist for using metal membranes for high temperature isotope separations (Serra et al, 1998). Because of the challenges of examining the performance of metal membranes for isotope separation experimentally, quantitative modeling techniques can play a useful role in considering what materials are well suited for these separations.…”
