Embodiment 1

[0127] This example illustrates the reduction in surface roughness obtained by the method of the invention. In this example, an inside-out pressed cylindrical porous support made of 310 stainless steel was obtained from a commercial supplier. The initial surface roughness of the carrier was measured by using ST400 optical profilometer marketed and sold by Nanovea.RTM. Then make the vector with figure 2 The granular materials shown in were contacted using the slurry contact method described above. After removing excess particulate material, use figure 1 The granular material is subjected to a second contacting step. The surface roughness results are shown in Table 1.

Abstract

A method of making a gas separation system is described. The method comprises the steps of (1) providing a porous support having an initial mean pore size and initial surface roughness and (2) applying a particulate material to a surface of the porous support to (a) functionally reduce the mean pore size of the support and (b) functionally reduce the measurable surface roughness of the support. Additional layers of particulate material of decreasing size are applied to further reduce the mean pore size and reduce the roughness of the support. When the support reaches the desired level of smoothness a thin membrane of gas selective material is deposited thereon. The membrane and support are then annealed under conditions that prevent or substantially reduce cracking of the membrane during commercial use.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of making a gas separation system. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of making a gas separation system that is particularly well suited for separating hydrogen from mixed gas streams. Background technique [0002] A variety of industrial applications require an inexpensive source of purified gases. Hydrogen is an example of the gas. Inexpensive sources of purified hydrogen are sought in various industrial chemical processes as well as in the production of energy in fuel cell power systems. Similarly, an inexpensive method of purifying hydrogen could significantly expand the applicability of hydrocarbon reforming, reforming reactors, and water-gas shift reactions. To meet the demand for inexpensive purified hydrogen, much research has been conducted to develop more efficient hydrogen permeable gas separation membrane systems that can be used to selectively recover hydrogen from differen...
