Abstract

For pre-combustion CO 2 capture processes, a 1Nm 3/h water gas shift (WGS)/multi-layer membrane system has been developed. Simulated syngas (H 2: 25-35, CO: 60-65, CO 2: 5-15 vol.%) was used in these experiments. The 1Nm 3/h WGS/multi-layer membrane system consisted of mass flow controllers, water gas shift reactors, gas/steam separators, five layer Pd-Cu membrane module, back pressure regulator, gas chromatograph (GC) analyzers and nondispersive infrared (ND-IR) gas analyzers. The operation conditions of WGS/multi-layer membrane system were 200-400°C, 10-20bar and steam/carbon ratios in WGS were between 2.0 and 5.0. In the experiments of WGS/multi-layer membrane system, the average gas concentration before membrane module was H 2: 57-58, CO 2: 42-43, CO: 0.2-0.3 vol.%. The CO 2 concentration of retentate flow reached up to 80 vol.% and the H 2 concentration of permeate flow was over 99 vol.%.
