Накратко на български
Керамичните мембрани се изследват, за да се разбере как потокът от кислород влияе върху стабилността им при превръщане на метан в синтез газ. Това помага за намаляване на индустриалните разходи и улеснява производството на водород от природен газ.

Цел на проекта
Membrane reactors are a promising technology for synthesis gas production from methane as they combine oxygen separation with reaction. Syn-gas is a feedstock for gas-to-liquid plants and a source of hydrogen. The system consists of a dense mixed oxygen anio n/electron conducting membrane. One side exposed to methane while the other is exposed to air. Driven by the difference in oxygen partial pressure across the membrane, oxygen anions migrate from the airside, through the membrane to partially oxidise methane to form syn-gas.The advantage of this system over current technologies is the combination of separation and reaction. If successfully applied, this technology will reduce costs to industry and provide a path to modular, remote production of hydrogen from natural gas. The purpose of this project is to examine how the membrane properties and reaction kinetics control the stability of the membrane materials. To this end, the proposed work is based around investigating ways in which the activity of the membrane surface may be controlled and how this impacts upon the thermodynamic and kinetic stability of the membrane itself. A number of ideas will be explored within the framework of a well-structured research plan in order to increase fundamental understanding in the field and make progress towards commercial application.The work fits well into the goals of the program by allowing a researcher from the UK, who is currently residing in the USA, to obtain advanced training in the Netherlands. The researchers' previous work was related to the study of solid oxide fuel cells where many of the same principles apply. This opportunity to return to the EU and expand and deepen current knowledge while re-familiarising with the European research environment will be invaluable to achieving a planned, successful, future research career in the field.
