Improvement of Performance of Oxygen-Conducting Membranes by Electric Heating

Аннотация

Alternating current heating of microtubular oxygen-conducting membranes was studied for the first time. In this case, oxygen–electron mixed-conduction membranes simultaneously act as a heater and an oxygen separator. The efficiency of the alternative heating method was tested on microtubular Ba_0.5Sr_0.5Co_0.78W_0.02Fe_0.2O_3–δ membranes produced by phase inversion. Alternating current heating of microtubular membranes ensures higher membrane performance in oxygen separation at T < 900°C and noticeably decreases the starting period and the lag in varying temperature conditions.
