Abstract

In this work, the synthesis of dense Pd/α–Al2O3 and Pd-Ag/α–Al2O3 ceramic composite membranes was done through the sequential electroless plating technique of Pd and Ag. The precursors are solutions of PdCl2 and AgNO3 and N2H4 salts, as reducing agent. The membranes were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The permeation tests of H2 and N2 was carried out at 20 psi of pressure and at 25°C, resulted πH2=5.2x10-9 mol H2/m2·s·Pa and πN2=8.2x10-10 mol N2/m2·s·Pa.
