Method and apparatus for analyzing gaseous chromatographic effluents
Abstract
Abstract A COMBINED HYDROGEN GAS SEPARATOR AND GENERATOR DEVICE COMPRISING A PAIR OF THIN PALLADIUM FILM MEMBRANE ELECTRODES SEPARATED BY AN AQUEOUS HYDROXIDE ELECTROLYTE. ON APPLICATION OF AN ELECTROLYTIC CURRENT TO THE FILMS HEATED TO A TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST 150*C., HYDROGEN IS SELECTIVELY TRANSFERRED THROUGH THE FIRST FILM, ACROSS THE BODY OF ELECTROLYTE AS PROTONIC HYDROGEN AND IS REGENERATED AS DIATOMIC HYDROGEN ON THE OUTSIDE SURFACE OF THE SECOND FILM. THE IMPURITIES IN THE HYDROGEN INLET STREAM COLLECT AT THE OUTSIDE SURFACE OF THE FIRST FILM. THE CONCENTRATED IMPURITIES CAN BE SENT TO DETECTOR FOR ANALYSIS. THE REGENERATED HYDROGEN CAN BE RECYCLED TO OPERATE A SEPARATOR UNIT SUCH AS A GAS CHROMATOGRAPHIC COLUMN.
