CO2 Selective Ceramic Membrane for Water-Gas-Shift Reaction With Concomitant Recovery of CO2, Quarterly Report: April-June 2004 (open access)

CO2 Selective Ceramic Membrane for Water-Gas-Shift Reaction With Concomitant Recovery of CO2, Quarterly Report: April-June 2004

For the purpose of process simulation and economic analysis of the proposed CO{sub 2} selective membrane process, we began to generate the equilibrium and rate data at the operating condition interested to our applications. In this quarter, we have concentrated on the experiments at 200 C and CO{sub 2} pressure of 0 to 1 bar. In this report we present the equilibrium isotherm and transport rate data and the mathematical treatment using the commonly accepted Langmuir and linear driving force equations. The results from this analysis were then compared with the literature published data. In general, our equilibrium capacity is higher than the literature reported data while the linear driving force model is adequate to describe the rate data obtained from 0 to 1 bar CO{sub 2} pressure. In the next month, we will begin the experimental study at higher temperatures (i.e., 300 and 400 C) to complete our thermodynamic and kinetic database for process simulation.
