Hydrogen Recovery System
  The basic theory of hydrogen recovery system



When two or more than two mixed gases pass through membrane, the permeant rate of different gases are diverse because of their solubility and diffusion rates difference. Under the impetus----pressure difference between two sides of membrane, gases whose permeant rate are comparatively quick, for example water vapor, hydrogen, helium and carbon dioxide, etc. pass through to the other side of membrane and enriched first; while gases whose permeant rate are low, for example methane, nitrogen and carbon monoxide stay and concentrated. The mixed gases are separated.
