A kind of preparation method of multi-channel type hydrogen permeation palladium-based composite membrane
Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of multi-channel type palladium-based composite membrane, prepared palladium membrane can provide bigger membrane area, is specially adapted to the hydrogen membrane separator.
Background technology:
Palladium and palladium alloy membrane have good hydrogen penetrating quality, can be used for the separation and the purifying of hydrogen.For example, the palladium-silver membrane filter method technology of producing High Purity Hydrogen has had the history of decades.In recent years research and development mainly concentrate on palladium-based composite membrane, are about to ultra-thin palladium film and are deposited on the porous material to replace traditional self-supporting type palladium film.Can reduce film thickness greatly so on the one hand, save precious metal palladium; On the other hand the permeability of hydrogen is largely increased [Huang Yan, Li Xue, Fan Yiqun, Xu Nanping. the progress of hydrogen permeation palladium-based composite membrane: principle, preparation and sign. chemical progress, 2006,18 (2-3): 230-238].The carrier material of palladium film has a lot, but mainly is porous ceramic pipe and porous stainless steel, wherein is most widely used with the former again, and this mainly gives the credit to its excellent chemical stability and ripe preparation technology.At present, the main application of porous ceramic pipe is a filter core, and it has two kinds of single channel and multichannels, and wherein, the used porous ceramic filter element of large-scale commercial applications filter mainly is a multi-channel type, and this obviously is because its unit volume filter core can provide higher filtering surface.Related palladium film ceramic monolith nearly all is a single channel type in existing document and the patent report, palladium film or be plated in the earthenware outside or be plated in the inboard.Because the membrane area of every single channel type palladium-based composite membrane is limited, though can simply increase membrane area by the quantity that increases the film pipe, this has increased the occupied space of film pipe again, has improved equipment investment and has increased the difficulty of installing and monitoring.Based on above reason, be that the novel palladium film of carrier will have the better application prospect with the multi-channel type porous ceramics, its working method is generally as shown in Figure 1.High pressure mixing gas feeds from an end in duct, and hydrogen sees through the palladium film and obtains pure hydrogen along the effusion of carrier cell walls, and residual gas is discharged from the duct other end.
Because the unit volume of multi-channel type palladium film can provide bigger membrane area, thereby can make hydrogen gas segregator volume when guaranteeing the hydrogen flux more small and exquisite, be particularly useful for portable or hydrogen production plant.In addition, multi-channel type palladium film is interior membranous type, and its super thin metal layer is not easy impaired in install operation process.But the passage of multichannel ceramic monolith has huge draw ratio (being orifice throat length and the ratio of channel diameter), has brought great difficulty for the preparation of palladium film, and therefore, can the preparation of multi-channel type palladium film be its key in application of succeeding.
Preparation technology about the load type palladium film in the document has a lot, as electroless plating method, galvanoplastic, PVD method, CVD method, high speed oxygen flame (HVOF) hot spray process, magnetron sputtering method, plasma spraying method, photocatalytic method or the like, wherein, electroless plating method has been acknowledged as the most successful technology.Its principle is to deposit the layer of metal particulate as catalyst (being surface active) at porous ceramic surface earlier, after immersing plating bath, under the effect of reducing agent, but the reduction of palladium ion and make the Metal Palladium of generation cover the surface of these catalyst particles in these catalyst catalysis plating baths, thereby the Metal Palladium layer that has generated still can continue the above-mentioned reaction of catalysis and cause that the growth of palladium layer thickens, and stops until reaction.Therefore, the chemical plating autocatalytic plating that is otherwise known as.Chemical plating generally comprises four steps such as the preliminary treatment, surface active, chemical plating, post processing of carrier.Method for activating surface has a lot, but the overwhelming majority is at carrier surface plated metal palladium particulate, and that relatively more commonly used is SnCl
2/ PdCl
2Method.Majority has adopted higher chemical plating temperature in the document, can cause the ammoniacal liquor in the plating bath to decompose fast on the one hand, can cause the discharging of ammonia and poisonous hydrazine steam on the other hand, causes environmental pollution; This patent has proposed effective preparation technology at the key issue in the chemical plating preparation of multichannel palladium film.
Cellular ceramic substrate is a multi-channel type, and its passage is carefully grown, and the plated film difficulty is big.The problem that is faced mainly contains: the mass transfer problem of palladium ion and reducing agent causes the thick and intermediate thin of palladium fenestra mouth easily, local reaction is overrun and cause the consequence of palladium precipitation; The a large amount of nitrogen bubble that generate in the course of reaction are attached to the palladium laminar surface, hinder the even growth of palladium layer; Porous carrier has entering of plating bath in its hole wall behind the contact plating bath, and if the gas that produces in the plating bath can not in time discharge, then can bring pressure to the palladium film of channel surface, light then damage the adhesive force of palladium film, heavy then cause the foaming of palladium film even break.
Summary of the invention:
Purpose of the present invention has proposed a kind of with the carrier outer wrap in order to overcome problems such as prior art chemical plating needs higher temperature, the discharging of poisonous hydrazine steam, plated film difficulty are big, plating bath places the preparation method of the bubble type multi-channel type palladium-based composite membrane of carrier passage inboard.
Technical scheme of the present invention is: in the chemical plating process, the eliminating that reaction generates nitrogen can realize that method has mechanical agitation by the strong agitation to plating bath, the pump circulation of plating bath, the rotation of carrier.But, conventional alr mode can't make the plating bath in the elongated passageway obtain stirring, obviously better not as the carrier mixing effect that in axial direction reciprocating motion causes in plating bath, because this can cause plating bath washing away fast the carrier passage, not only guaranteed the homogeneity of bath concentration, the nitrogen bubble that more helps the reacting generation metal surface that speeds away.During chemical plating, with the carrier outer wrap, plating bath places carrier passage inboard, makes plating bath and carrier passage form excellent contact, and plating bath produces certain pressure to the carrier cell walls.
Among the present invention, the reducing agent hydrazine does not mix with palladium complex ion plating bath in advance, but slowly adds in the plating bath with pump.In initial reaction stage, palladium complex ion concentration height in the plating bath, the addition of needs control reducing agent is to prevent the too fast generation palladium precipitation of reaction speed.Along with the carrying out of reaction, palladium complex ion concentration descends, and can suitably accelerate the addition of reducing agent, to keep reaction speed faster.Reaction is last, and the palladium complex ion is consumed totally, can add excessive reducing agent, to guarantee the conversion ratio of palladium.Experiment finds that this method almost can realize 100% palladium conversion ratio, has avoided the waste of precious metal palladium, and the total amount of palladium can be estimated according to the inventory of plating bath in the rete, can further estimate film thickness thus.
Concrete technical scheme of the present invention is:
A kind of preparation method of multi-channel type hydrogen permeation palladium-based composite membrane, concrete steps comprise four steps of preliminary treatment, surface active, chemical plating, post processing of carrier, after it is characterized in that multichannel carrier inner surface activates, earlier the leakage that prevents plating bath is wrapped up with plastics or elastomeric material in the carrier outside, then plating bath is placed in the passage of carrier; Again reducing agent is added in the plating bath; Passing passage by the gas bubbling stirs plating bath.
Wherein said multichannel carrier is the multi-channel type ceramic monolith; The number of active lanes and the shape of multichannel carrier are not limit, the length of carrier and diameter ratio between 1-60, preferred 1-30.
Described gas is nitrogen, compressed air, oxygen or argon gas etc., and the mode of passing passage by bubbling realizes the stirring of plating bath.
Reducing agent is not to add in the plating bath before chemical plating begins among the present invention, but with pump it is added in the plating bath after plating bath adds in the carrier passage.The adding speed of reducing agent is controlled at 0.05-5ml/min.In the commercialization preparation process, in order to save time, the adding speed of reducing agent can be unlike the laboratory constant speed, in initial reaction stage, palladium complex ion concentration height in the plating bath needs the addition of control reducing agent, to prevent the too fast generation palladium precipitation of reaction speed.Along with the carrying out of reaction, palladium complex ion concentration descends, and can suitably accelerate the addition of reducing agent, to keep reaction speed faster.Reaction is last, and the palladium complex ion is consumed totally, can add excessive reducing agent, to guarantee the conversion ratio of palladium.

Plated film also can repeat repeatedly, generally divides and carries out for 2-10 time, upgrades plating bath and before carrier is turned upside down, and is even to guarantee plated film.The temperature of chemical plating is 10-50 ℃
Preliminary treatment of the present invention, surface active and postprocessing working procedures are by prior art operation, and the present invention is the same with other chemical plating process, and the preliminary treatment and the surface active of carrier be there is no specific (special) requirements.It is SnCl that surface active is selected for use relatively commonly used
