[Prior Art] According to the excessive development and use of fossil fuels in recent years, coupled with the destruction of the ecological environment, the search for alternative energy sources and clean energy has become a major issue for relevant authorities. Hydrogen energy is one of the most forward-looking indicators in the development of alternative energy and clean energy. Coupled with the maturity of fuel cell technology and the booming application in recent years, hydrogen separation and purification technologies are increasingly important. Also, hydrogen has always played an important role in the industry. For example, hydrogen has been a major raw material for ammonia gas production, dehydrogenation and hydrogenation reactions in refineries, semiconductor processes, petrochemical processes, and metallurgical processes. In addition, the application of pure hydrogen in rockets and space shuttles is also an indispensable fuel for propulsion. In recent years, due to the development of fuel cells and hydrogen internal combustion engines, and the hydrogen energy economy is very forward-looking, if the future of hydrogen energy technology is mature, it is expected that the demand for hydrogen will increase significantly. Hydrogen is produced from hydrocarbons (such as fossil fuels and biomass) and water, and is obtained by thermal chemical processes such as steam recombination, water vapor transfer, partial oxidation, autothermal reforming, gasification and cracking. In general, after the chemical reaction is carried out, the gas is usually accompanied by the production of CO and C〇2, and CO will cause poisoning of the low-temperature fuel cell (such as proton exchange membrane fuel cell, PEMFC), and its efficiency is lowered; 〇2 is one of the greenhouse gases. If a large amount of hydrogen production reaction occurs, c〇2 will also affect the ring. Therefore, if the hydrogen produced by the reaction is purified and separated, for equipment one

Traditionally, hydrogen separation and purification can be carried out by pressure swing absorption or cryogenic distillation. In addition to the pressure swing adsorption method and the cryogenic rectification method, in recent years, the purification of hydrogen by membrane separation technology has been the subject of many scholars. Compared with other separation techniques, membrane separation has high selectivity for hydrogen separation, and the purity of hydrogen after permeation can be as high as 99% or more, and the required space is not large, so if the low-temperature fuel cell is used in the future And a large number of technologies used in automobiles, membrane separation and purification of hydrogen will be widely used in life. In terms of membrane separation and purification of hydrogen, materials can generally be classified into two broad categories, one being an inorganic thin film and the other being an organic thin film. It has been known in the past that inorganic thin films are more tolerant of harsh operating conditions than organic thin films, and that palladium and its alloy thin films are the main inorganic metal films to be studied. The inorganic thin film is a semipermeable membrane made of an inorganic material such as a metal, a metal oxide, a ceramic, a porous glass, a zeolite, an inorganic polymer material or the like. Compared with organic thin films, inorganic thin films have the following advantages: 1. Good chemical stability: acid, alkali and organic solvents. 2. High mechanical strength: The supporting inorganic film can withstand external pressure of several tens of atmospheric pressure and can be washed back. 3. Strong anti-microbial ability: It does not interact with microorganisms and can be applied in bioengineering and medical science. 4. High temperature resistance: Generally, it can be operated below 400 °C, and the maximum temperature can reach 800 °C. 5. Narrow pore size distribution: high separation efficiency. The membrane separation hydrogen technology uses a membrane capable of adsorbing hydrogen to create a pressure difference across the membrane, and permeates the hydrogen in the gas to the other end of the membrane to separate the hydrogen from other gases and purify the hydrogen. . At present, the most widely used metal film for hydrogen separation and purification is palladium film. This material is characterized in that it can adsorb hydrogen in a large amount in 201137338, has extremely high selectivity to hydrogen, and has high permeation flux for hydrogen. In order to evaluate the separation and purification of a film for a specific gas, the permeance of the film is an important indicator. The physical meaning of the permeability coefficient is the ability of the membrane to separate the gas per unit area, unit time and unit pressure difference. The most common unit is mol η Τ 2 s_1 Pa_n, where η is the pressure index. The permeability coefficient is measured by creating a pressure difference across the membrane, and then the separated and purified gas will pass through the membrane and determine the mass flow rate of the separated gas to determine the permeability coefficient of the membrane. Traditionally, the film has a fixed pressure difference at both ends, and only a few pressure differences are taken to measure the permeability coefficient of the film, so it is time consuming, the pressure range is limited, and the analysis data is small, so the measured membrane permeability coefficient may be accurate. Insufficient. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the inventors have developed an "An apparatus and method of precise measurement of permeance of a membrane", which is different from the conventional setting of a fixed pressure difference. By measuring the membrane permeability coefficient, the design device and method observe the transient permeation phenomenon of the separated and purified gas through the dynamic pressure difference change, and automatically measure and record the instantaneous system pressure by the pressure sensor and the electronic flowmeter. The amount of gas permeation to accurately measure the permeability coefficient of the film. In addition, compared with the traditional measurement method, the device and the method can perform gas permeation with different pressure differences in one measurement in a short time, thereby significantly shortening the measurement time. In order to achieve the above technical content, a device for accurately measuring the permeability of a thin film is provided, which comprises a feeding unit, a heating unit, a permeating unit, an outlet and a monitoring unit, wherein the feeding unit performs device cleaning. And the supply of permeating gas, the heating unit provides a constant temperature environment of the film, the permeation unit is a concentric annular structure of stainless steel pipe, which comprises a film tube, and the outlet and monitoring unit performs pressure and gas flow on both sides of the film tube. Automatic measurement and recording, through the serial connection and integration of the above single 201137338 yuan and the measurement of the membrane permeability coefficient in a very short time under the specific operating procedure, the resulting permeability coefficient not only covers a wide range of The pressure difference is obtained, and the relationship between the obtained membrane permeability coefficient and the pressure difference is an accurate measurement of the permeability coefficient of the film.实施 仏 仏 【 【 【 【 【 【 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体 气体Dynamic permeation phenomenon, and the permeability coefficient of the film can be accurately measured in a short time.

After cleaning the membrane permeation measuring device (1) through the above steps, the power switch of the heating unit is turned on, and the temperature controller (23) and the power output regulator (24) are adjusted to the set temperature. After the temperature of the field heating unit (20) reaches the set value, the hydrogen cleaning cylinder (13) is turned on, and the three-way valve member (17) and the three-way valve member two (18) are adjusted to make the hydrogen gas along the pipeline through the three-way valve member. One (17) and three-way valve member two (18) enters the permeation unit (3〇) to clean the entire membrane permeation measuring device (〇, and adjust the back pressure valve (34), with the pressure sensor (14) and the signal The recorder (16) observes and controls the system pressure. At the same time as the above system cleaning, the gas to be permeated is filled into the gas storage cylinder (to reach the set pressure. Once the hydrogen flow rate at the permeate end outlet (44) reaches a steady state, the gas is closed.三【s 201137338 Valves 2 (18) 'Adjust the three-way valve one (17) 'Let the gas to be permeated from the gas storage cylinder (11), enter through the pipeline through the three-way valve one (丨7) Permeating a single crucible (30). When the gas to be permeated enters the thin film tube (31), due to the pressure difference between the two sides of the membrane (37), the hydrogen in the gas to be permeated will be absorbed by the membrane (37) and traverse the membrane (37). , penetrates from the high pressure end to the low pressure end, and flows through the permeate end conduit (33) and electrons The flow meter two (42)' is discharged to the outside through the permeate outlet (44). As the hydrogen is separated, the pressure of the gas storage cylinder (1) is gradually decreased, and the pressure sensor (14) and the signal are recorded at this time. The device (16) continuously records the pressure in the gas storage cylinder (11), and continuously records the instantaneous flow rate of hydrogen permeating through the membrane by the electronic flowmeter two (42) and the signal recorder (16), and the pressure and flow measurement are continuously performed. The flow rate of the present invention is not limited by the following examples, and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. According to the precise measurement of the membrane permeability coefficient device of the present invention, the initial pressure of the cylinder is stored by the Handing rolling body, and then the gas of the gas storage cylinder is released, and the back pressure valve is closed, and the dynamic permeation of the hydrogen permeating film and the membrane permeability coefficient are performed. Accurate measurement. In the measurement system, the internal volume of the gas storage cylinder is 2 25 liters 'and the pure hydrogen is stored'. The film in the heating unit and the film tube is a palladium film. (palladium, Pd), thickness 20μιη 'The temperature of the film tube is set to 35〇〇c. The permeability coefficient of the three groups of films is measured here. The initial pressure difference of hydrogen in the gas storage cylinder is 3atm, 5atm and 8atm respectively. 3. It is a distribution diagram of the flow rate of the film in the gas storage cylinder under the operation of the measuring device of the present invention and the above-mentioned conditions. As can be seen from Fig. 3, as the permeation time increases, the hydrogen traverses the film. The flow rate is reduced. When the initial pressure difference of hydrogen in the gas storage cylinder is larger, the initial gas permeation flow is also in 201137338, but the flow rate decays faster with time; on the contrary, the smaller the initial pressure difference of hydrogen, the initial hydrogen permeation. The amount is also reduced, but the flow decays slowly over time. Overall, the flow rate of hydrogen permeating through the palladium film approached zero when the permeation time reached 80 minutes. This description shows that dynamic gas permeation can be observed under the green setting on this date. Figure 4 shows the relationship between hydrogen pressure and permeation time in a gas storage cylinder. It can be seen that as the permeation time increases, the hydrogen pressure in the cylinder also decreases, and the downward trend is similar to Figure 3^ but worth Note that when the hydrogen permeate flow rate in Figure 3 approaches zero, the pressure difference across the palladium membrane is not zero, indicating that there is a minimum pressure difference or threshold across the membrane, when the pressure difference is equal to or less than the threshold. At the time, φ is unlikely to cause hydrogen permeation. According to the above threshold observation, the membrane permeability coefficient (κ) can be expressed as:
