Low concentrations of H2S decreased H-2 permeation through electroless-plated Pd and Pd-Cu alloy membranes by blocking H-2 dissociation sites. At high H2S concentrations, a sulfur surface layer-did not allow H-2 to even penetrate to the Pd-Cu surface. Sulfidation of Pd and Cu formed micron size pores and caused the membrane to fail. Failure depended on H2S concentration, not time of exposure; the H2S concentration that completely inhibited H-2 permeation was approximately 300 ppm for Pd-Cu. alloys and 100 ppm for Pd surfaces. At lower H,S concentrations, steady state permeation was obtained. Hydrogen sulfide exposure and H-2 post-treatment caused Cu segregation to the membrane feed side due to stress relaxation. For membranes with bulk Cu concentration above 60 wt%, the phase changed from body-centered cube (bcc) to face-centered cube (fcc), and this decreased H-2 permeability. Larger cracks and pores formed during H,S exposure at 523 K than at 723 K due to a higher degree of Pd and Cu sulfidation, as predicted by thermodynamics. The presence of H2O also increased sulfidation by aiding H2S dissociation and blocking H-2 dissociation sites. Cast and rolled foils, which have smoother surfaces, were less prone to surface rearrangement by H2S. Smoother surfaces have less surface area and adsorb less sulfur per unit area compared to rougher surfaces. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
