  • PROCESS FOR THE RECOVERY AND RECYCLING OF MATERIALS THAT CONSTITUTE SUPPORTED PALLADIUM MEMBRANES
    Publication number: 20200318218
    Abstract: A process for recycling and reusing supported Pd membranes includes the separation of the Pd (or Pd alloy) layer from the support by contacting the Pd membrane with hydrogen under pressure and at low temperature and then with a second gas that is different from hydrogen. The Pd layer separated from the support can then be treated to solubilize the Pd and, where appropriate, the alloy metal(s) to obtain salts that can be reused, for example in the preparation of new Pd membranes. The recovered supports are also reusable.
