Membranes and Reactors for CO2 Separation
First Claim
1. A system for carbon dioxide separation comprising:
- a conducting membrane comprising two phases, the first phase comprising a solid oxide porous substrate, the second phase comprising molten carbonate, wherein the second phase is positioned within the solid oxide porous substrate of the first phase; and
a H2 and CO2 gas input stream separated from a CH4 gas input stream by the conducting membrane, wherein the CO2 is removed from the H2 and CO2 gas input stream as it contacts the membrane resulting in a H2 gas output stream from the H2 and CO2 gas input stream and a CO and H2 gas output stream from the CH4 gas input stream.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system for carbon dioxide separation. The system includes a conducting membrane having two phases. The first phase is a solid oxide porous substrate. The second phase is molten carbonate. The second phase is positioned within the solid oxide porous substrate of the first phase. The system also includes a H2 and CO2 gas input stream separated from a CH4 gas input stream by the conducting membrane. The CO2 is removed from the H2 and CO2 gas input stream as it contacts the membrane resulting in a H2 gas output stream from the H2 and CO2 gas input stream and a CO and H2 gas output stream from the CH4 gas input stream.
