    Abstract

    This study investigates a compact palladium membrane module (CPMM) for hydrogen purification, assembled by diffusion bonding at a low-temperature (450 C). This CPMM resulted in hydrogen (H2) flux of 18.3 mL cm−2 min−1 with H2 /N2 selectivity of over 1100. The H2 purification test using a 60% H2 /40% CO2 mixed gas confirmed that the CPMM can separate H2 with a concentration of more than 99%, with a pressure difference of 5 bar. Moreover, the volume of the diffusion bonded membrane module is decreased by 81.4% than the flame-type membrane module pre-studied in our laboratory.
