Abstract

The oxygen permeation performance of Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (BSCF) mixed-conducting multichannel hollow fiber (MCMHF) membranes was improved by surface modification via spin-spraying of a La0.6Sr0.4CoO3-δ (LSC) porous layer. At 1173 K, the oxygen permeation flux of the modified membranes was clearly enhanced and reached 9.68 mL·cm-2·min-1, which is a remarkable high value in the field of mixed-conducting oxygen permeation membrane processes. Theoretical calculations demonstrated that the oxygen transport resistance, especially the surface exchange resistance, obviously decreased as a result of the modified LSC porous layer. Moreover, the process of oxygen permeation through the modified membrane was controlled by both bulk diffusion and the surface oxygen exchange reaction, whereas the oxygen permeation of the unmodified membrane was dominantly controlled by the surface oxygen exchange reaction. The modified MCMHF membranes showed generally stable oxygen permeation fluxes over 100 h at 1173 K.
