- the hydrogen separation membrane not only transmits hydrogen but also transmits nitrogen, and thus the pores of the inorganic porous membrane are not closed by palladium.
- the present invention has been made in view of the problems of the related art, and has as its object to provide a gas separator for preventing a raw material gas subjected to gas separation from leaking into a purified gas.
- the present invention relates to a gas separator comprising a porous substrate having pores opened on the surface and a metal for separating gas, wherein the metal for separating gas is provided inside the pores.
- a gas separator characterized by being filled and closed.
- the metal for separating the gas covers at least a part of the surface of the porous substrate to form a thin film.
- the depth of the metal for separating the gas into the inside of the porous substrate is 1 to 30 / m from the surface of the porous substrate.
- the metal for separating the gas is preferably palladium, an alloy containing palladium as a main component, or an alloy containing palladium.
- the porous substrate is immersed in a solution containing an activated metal while providing a pressure difference between a pair of surfaces of the porous substrate, whereby the pair of porous substrates is immersed in the solution.
- An activation step of allowing the solution to penetrate into the pores opened on one of the surfaces, and attaching a metal for gas separation to the pores of the porous substrate by a chemical method This provides a method for producing a gas separator having a porous substrate having a pair of surfaces, characterized in that the gas for separating the gas fills and closes the small holes.

- a solution containing an activated metal so that the pressure is greater than the pressure on one side of the porous substrate opposite to the surface of the porous substrate.
- the solution is allowed to penetrate into the pores that are open in the pores, and a metal for gas separation is attached to the pores of the porous substrate in the chemical plating process, thereby forming a metal for gas separation.
- the metal for separating the gas is preferably palladium, an alloy mainly containing palladium, or an alloy containing palladium.
- FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a cross section of the gas separator of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of a gas purification method using the gas separator of the present invention.
- the gas separator 1 of the present invention has a porous substrate 2 and a metal 3 for separating gas. Since the porous substrate 2 is porous, it has a number of small holes 5 therein, and some of the small holes are connected to the surface of the porous substrate 2 and open. Therefore, in the present invention, the metal 3 for separating the gas fills and closes the inside of the small holes 5 opened in the porous substrate surface 2a. Thereby, when the raw material gas subjected to gas separation by the gas separator 1 passes through the small holes 5 of the porous substrate 2, it passes through the metal 3 for separating the gas, and the gas is separated.
- the metal 3 for separating the gas fills and closes the inside of the small hole 5
- the raw material gas does not leak to the refined gas side. Therefore, for example, with the gas separator of the present invention using a palladium alloy, hydrogen gas having a purity of 99% or more can be obtained, and usually, hydrogen gas having a purity of 99.9% or more can be obtained. Can be obtained.
- the raw material gas does not react.
- alumina silica, silica-alumina, mullite, kojierite, zirconia, and the like
- Porous metal, porous glass and the like can be used.
- This porous substrate has a large number of fine pores that are continuous in three dimensions.
- the pore size is preferably 0.003 to 20 Zm, more preferably 0.005 to 5 // m, and furthermore, 0.0 1 to 1 m is preferred. If the pore diameter is less than 0.003 m, the resistance when the gas passes will be large. On the other hand, if the pore diameter exceeds 20 m, the reaction time becomes too long when metal 3 for separating gas is attached to the pores by chemical plating, filled, and blocked, which is not desirable. is there. In addition, when there is a membrane covering the porous substrate 2, that is, when there is the gas separation membrane 4, pinholes are easily formed in the gas separation membrane 4, which is not preferable. Such a porous substrate can be obtained, for example, by the method described in JP-A-62-273030.
- the pores of the porous substrate have a uniform pore diameter.
- the thickness of the porous substrate 2 is not particularly limited, as long as sufficient mechanical strength can be maintained in a use environment.
- the porous substrate 2 preferably has a planar shape.
- the planar shape includes a flat surface and a curved surface, and naturally includes a tubular shape corresponding to a shape having a closed curved surface.
- the cross-sectional shape of the pipe is arbitrary, but a circular one is preferred because it is easily available.
- the shape of the gas separator or the shape of the porous substrate 2 may be plate-like, and may be any shape depending on the purpose of use. Further, it is preferable that the porous substrate has a pair of surfaces.
- the metal 3 for separating the gas is selected according to the gas to be purified.
- the gas to be purified for example, palladium, an alloy containing palladium as a main component, or an alloy containing palladium is used.
- a thin film of silver or an alloy containing silver as a main component, an organic material thin film, or the like is used.
- the metal 3 for separating the gas fills and closes the inside of the small hole 5 opened on the surface 2 a of the porous substrate 2.
- the metal 3 covers the surface 2 a of the porous substrate 2 to form the gas separation membrane 4.
- the metal 3 for separating the gas inside the porous substrate 2 performs the function of gas separation, so that the gas separation membrane 4 as shown in FIG. Not required.
- the porous substrate surface 2a may be covered. This is because the purified gas more securely permeates the metal 3 for separating the gas at the portion where the gas is coated. It is preferable that the gas separation membrane 4 covers the porous substrate surface 2a. As shown in FIG. 1, the metal 3 for filling the inside of the small holes opened on the surface of the porous substrate and separating the gas that blocks the gas is used to separate the gas forming the gas separation membrane 4. Preferably, the metal is continuous. This improves the adhesion between the gas separation membrane 4 and the porous substrate, and makes it difficult for the gas separation membrane 4 to peel off from the porous substrate surface 2a.
- the thickness of the gas separation membrane 4 is preferably 50 m or less, and more preferably 2 O ⁇ m or less. If the thickness exceeds 5 ⁇ , the time required for the source gas to diffuse through the gas separation membrane during gas separation by the gas separator becomes longer, and the processing time becomes longer, which is not preferable.
- the depth of the metal 3 for separating gas into the inside of the porous substrate 2 is preferably 1 to 30 m from the above surface of the porous substrate, and 1 to 20 / m. More preferably, it is even more preferably 1 to 10 m. If the depth is smaller than 1 / xm, the pores are not sufficiently blocked by the metal 3 for separating the gas, and the source gas may leak to the purified gas side. Further, when the gas separation membrane 4 is formed, the gas separation membrane 4 is easily separated from the porous substrate surface 2a. On the other hand, if the depth is greater than 30 m, the gas separated by the gas separator 1 takes a long time to diffuse in the metal 3 for separating gas, This is because the separation time is long and is not preferred.

- the method for producing a gas separator according to the present invention includes an activation step and a chemical plating step.
- the activation step one surface of the porous substrate is immersed in a solution containing an activated metal so that the pressure applied to one surface is greater than the pressure applied to the other surface on the opposite side of the porous substrate.
- the solution is allowed to penetrate into the pores opened on the surface of one side of the porous substrate where the pressure is higher. Due to such a pressure difference, the activated metal not only adheres to the surface of the porous substrate, but also adheres to the inner surface of the pores opened on the surface of the porous substrate. .
- a metal for gas separation is deposited on the surface to which the activated metal has adhered.
- a tube-shaped porous substrate can be used, the outside of which is immersed in a solution containing an activated metal, and the inside of the tube can be pulled by a vacuum pump.
- a tube-shaped porous substrate may be used, and its outside may be immersed in a solution containing an activated metal, and a pressure may be applied to this solution to keep the inside of the tube at a constant pressure. In either case, the outside and inside of the tube can be reversed, so that the solution is immersed inside the tube and the pressure can be changed.
- the activating metal a compound containing a palladium divalent ion can be suitably used.
- the porous substrate can be alternately immersed in an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of palladium chloride and an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of tin chloride, and the porous substrate can be immersed in either of these solutions. It is preferable to maintain a specified pressure difference even when In the next chemical measurement, electroless plating is performed using a plating solution containing at least a metal for separating gas and a reducing agent, and the metal for separating gas is used as pores in the porous substrate. The metal for gas separation fills and closes the pores.
- one side treated in the activation process is processed. For example, replacing the above solution used in the activation process with an appropriate plating solution Can be.
- At least a gas is applied to one surface of the porous substrate in a manner similar to that of the activation process so that the pressure applied to one surface is greater than the pressure applied to the opposite surface of the porous substrate. It is preferable to immerse in a plating solution containing a metal for separation and a reducing agent. This pressure difference facilitates the penetration of the plating solution into the inside of the small holes opened on the surface of the porous substrate. As described above, the portion to which the activation metal has adhered in the activation step is damaged.
- the immersion time in the chemical plating process By adjusting the immersion time in the chemical plating process, the temperature of the plating solution, the pressure difference between the two surfaces of the porous substrate, etc., the depth at which the metal for gas separation enters the surface of the porous substrate can be reduced. Can be adjusted.
- a known chemical plating solution containing palladium For hydrogen separation, use a known chemical plating solution containing palladium, and for oxygen separation, use a known chemical plating solution containing, for example, silver nitrate, EDTA, aqueous ammonia, and hydrazine. .
- palladium is chemically plated, silver is further plated on the surface of the electrodeposited palladium, and then heat treatment is performed to allow palladium and silver to interact with each other. It is preferred to diffuse and alloy palladium and silver.
- the porous substrate was activated.
- a porous ⁇ -alumina tube having a cylindrical shape with an outer diameter of 10 mm, an inner diameter of 7 mm, and a length of 300 mm and a fine pore diameter of 0.1 m was used as the porous substrate.
- the outer surface of the alumina tube, the SnCl 2 ⁇ 2 ⁇ 2 0 0. 1 you content wt% 0. was immersed crushed 1 minute 1% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, while, pull the inside of the tube by a vacuum pump, The pressure was reduced.
- the outer surface of the tube was immersed in a 0.1% hydrochloric acid aqueous solution containing 0.01% by weight of PdCl 2 for 1 minute. When immersing, the inside of the tube was pulled with a vacuum pump to reduce the pressure. This immersion treatment was repeated with both hydrochloric acid aqueous solutions so as to be immersed 10 times in each hydrochloric acid aqueous solution.
- the mixture was kept at 900 ° C. for 12 hours to perform a heat treatment to mutually diffuse palladium and silver, thereby alloying palladium and silver to obtain a gas separator.
- a hydrogen separation test was performed on the gas separator.
- a mixed gas consisting of 80% by volume of hydrogen and 20% by volume of carbon dioxide was used as a source gas.
- Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the test equipment.
- the chamber 7 was heated to 500.
- the above mixed gas 17 having a pressure of 9 k'g weight cm 2 is applied to the outside of the alumina tube 6 at 2 N liters per minute (that is, the volume at room temperature is 2 liters). Introduced.
- 0.1 N liter / min was introduced into the inside of the alumina tube as a sweep gas 18 of argon having a pressure of lkg weight Zcm 2 .
- Quantitative analysis was performed on the purified gas 19 obtained by gas chromatography to examine the gas permeation rate of the purified gas and the hydrogen concentration in the purified gas.
- the mixed gas 17 to be separated is introduced from the introduction pipe 10 to the outside of the gas separator 16. Further, the sweep gas 18 of the separated hydrogen gas is introduced into the gas separator 16 from the introduction pipe 8. o — Rings 15 surround the outer surfaces at both ends of the separator 16 to prevent gas leakage.
- the gas permeation rate per cm 2 and per minute of the palladium membrane on the gas separator was 18 m 1

- Comparative example 3 5 0 .5 1 1 7 0 84 No change
- the heat cycle test is also one of the parameters indicating the adhesion of the gas separation membrane to the porous substrate in the gas separator. Comparing the example with the comparative example, it can be seen that in the example, the gas separation membrane is less likely to be peeled from the porous substrate, and the adhesion between the gas separation membrane and the porous substrate is improved. This is because in the example, the metal for separating the gas fills and closes the inside of the small holes opened on the surface of the porous substrate.
- the metal for separating the gas fills and closes the inside of the small holes opened on the surface of the porous substrate, whereby the raw material gas subjected to gas separation by the gas separator is There is no leakage to the purified gas side. Therefore, for example, with the gas separator of the present invention using a palladium alloy, hydrogen gas having a purity of 99.9% or more can be obtained.
- the gas separator of the present invention has a gas separation membrane made of a metal for separating gas on the surface of the porous substrate, the pores in which the metal for separating gas is opened on the surface of the porous substrate. Since the inside of the cell is filled and closed, the adhesion between the gas separation membrane and the porous substrate can be improved. This is remarkable when compared with a gas separator in which the gas separation membrane covers the surface of the porous substrate without filling the pores opened in the surface of the porous substrate.
- the porous substrate having a pair of surfaces contains an activated metal while providing a pressure difference between the pair of surfaces. Immerse in the solution. As a result, the solution penetrates into the small holes opened on one surface.
- a metal for separating gas is attached to the small holes of the porous substrate, whereby the metal for separating gas fills and closes the small holes.
- a specific gas such as hydrogen can be obtained with high purity from a mixed gas.
