The permeability of hydrogen in bulk palladium at elevated temperatures and pressures

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the permeability of hydrogen in bulk palladium membranes (approximately 1-mm thickness) at conditions of simultaneously elevated temperature (623-1173 K) and hydrogen pressure (0.1×106 to 2.76×106 ǫ).
Journal ArticleDOI

Active Sites and Structure−Activity Relationships of Copper-Based Catalysts for Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation to Methanol

TL;DR: In this paper, the active sites and structure-activity relationships for methanol synthesis from a stoichiometric mixture of CO2 and H2 were investigated for a series of coprecipitated Cu-based catalysts with temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and N2O decomposition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prediction of hydrogen flux through sulfur-tolerant binary alloy membranes

TL;DR: It is shown how ab initio calculations and coarse-grained modeling can accurately predict hydrogen fluxes through binary alloy membranes as functions of alloy composition, temperature, and pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-Temperature Kinetics of the Homogeneous Reverse Water-Gas Shift Reaction

TL;DR: The high-temperature rate of reaction of the homogeneous, reverse water-gas shift reaction (rWGSR) has been evaluated in quartz reactors with rapid feed preheating under both low and high-pressure conditions as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen permeance of palladium–copper alloy membranes over a wide range of temperatures and pressures

TL;DR: The Pd-Cu alloys were evaluated at temperatures within the body-centered-cubic (bcc) stability region for H2 partial pressure differences as great as 2.6 MPa as mentioned in this paper.
