摘要

Perovskite Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (BSCF) is a promising mixed conducting ceramic membrane material for air separation. In this work, BSCF powder was synthesized by a modified Pechini sol-gel technique at relatively lower temperature. The O2 permeation through a series of BSCF membranes has been tested at different temperatures and various O2 partial pressure gradients. Theoretical investigation indicated that bulk diffusion and the O2 exchange reactions on membrane surfaces jointly controlled the O2 permeation through BSCF membranes with thickness of between 1.1 and 0.75 mm. To further improve the O2 fluxes, effective efforts are made on membrane thickness reduction and surface modification by spraying porous BSCF layers on both surfaces. When the membrane thickness was reduced from 0.75 to 0.40 mm, the O2 fluxes were increased by 20-60% depending on the operating conditions. The surface modification further improved the O2 flux by another 20-40%. The high O2 fluxes achieved in this work are quite encouraging with a maximum value reaching 6.0 mL min-1 cm-2 at 900 °C.
