  • Solid-State Membrane Module
    Publication number: 20150209721
    Abstract: A module for separating oxygen from an oxygen-containing gaseous mixture comprising planar solid-state membrane units, each membrane unit comprising planar dense mixed conducting oxides layers, planar channel-free porous support layers, and one or more planar intermediate support layers comprising at least one channeled porous support layer. The outer rim circumscribing the planar solid-state membrane units comprises a dense mixed conducting oxide layer and a channel-free porous support layer.

  • Solid-state membrane module
    Patent number: 9067172
    Abstract: A module for separating oxygen from an oxygen-containing gaseous mixture comprising planar solid-state membrane units, each membrane unit comprising planar dense mixed conducting oxides layers, planar channel-free porous support layers, and one or more planar intermediate support layers comprising at least one channeled porous support layer. The porosity of the planar channeled porous support layers is less than the porosity of the planar channel-free porous support layers.
