Abstract

Although hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) was always a negative factor leading to the reduction of hydrogen permeability of palladium (Pd) membranes, its proper application could result in a positive effect. In this study, pure Pd membranes were firstly reacted with H 2 S at 23–450 °C, and then treated by redox reactions. Afterwards, the hydrogen permeability was tested under different reaction conditions using a hydrogen penetrant testing device. Moreover, both products and morphology changes occurred on the Pd membrane surface were analyzed using XRD, XPS and SEM. The results showed that H 2 S was dissociated to produce sulfides at 23 °C. With a rise of temperature, a regular change took place in the reaction products, morphology of the Pd membrane surface and hydrogen permeability. Adsorbed impurities such as sulfides and free carbon on the Pd membrane surface were removed by the redox treatment. The hydrogen permeability was improved by about 80% for the Pd membrane material subjected to the treatment method stated the above against the untreated one.
