Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A METHOD FOR SHUTTING DOWN DIFFUSION APPARATUS WHEREIN HYDROGEN IS SEPARATED FROM A GASEOUS MIXTURE CONTAINING HYDROGEN BY CONTACTING SAID GASEOUS MIXTURE WITH ONE SIDE OF A HYDROGEN-PERMEABLE NOBLE METAL MEMBRANE AT A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN ABOUT 300*C. AND ABOUT 500*C. WHILE MAINTAINING A PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN THE TWO SIDES OF SAID MEMBRANE WHICH METHOD COMPRISES HEATING SAID MEMBRANE TO AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE BETWEEN ABOUT 550*C. AND ABOUT 800*C. AND COOLING SAID MEMBRANE IN THE ABSENCE OF HYDROGEN TO A TEMPERATURE BELOW ABOUT 300*C.
