Abstract
A key strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is advancing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, with oxycombustion playing a vital role in industrial decarbonization. Oxygen transport membranes (OTMs) enable flexible oxygen production and integration with catalytic membrane reactors (CMRs) to enhance process efficiency. However, OTMs with high permeation are unstable in CO2 and CH4 environments. This study investigates methane oxidation over Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (BSCF) capillary membranes with the effect of protective catalytic layers of BSCF, Ce0.8Tb0.2O2-δ and Co2MnO4 / Ce0.8Tb0.2O2-δ. The developed catalytic membrane reactors, formed by BSCF membranes with these catalytic protective layers, achieved complete CH4 conversion and total selectivity for oxycombustion under the selected conditions while maintaining their performance and structural stability under CH4 and CO2 exposure.
期刊介绍:
Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
