20130152785 | METHOD OF PREPARING A PALLADIUM-SILVER ALLOY GAS SEPARATION MEMBRANE SYSTEM - A method of preparing a palladium-silver alloy gas separation membrane system, wherein the surface of the palladium layer or a silver layer is activated by a non-chemical activation method involving abrasion to a controlled surface roughness and abrasion pattern, thereby permitting the plating or deposition of an overlayer of silver on the palladium layer, silver on a silver layer, or palladium on a silver layer. The palladium and silver layers are preferably supported on a porous metal support to which an intermetallic diffusion barrier has been applied. | 06-20-2013 |
20130156945 | METHOD OF MAKING A GAS SEPARATION SYSTEM - 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. | 06-20-2013 |
