Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to novel solid state mixed conductor membranes and their use for separating oxygen from oxygen-containing feeds at elevated temperatures. The membranes comprise a multicomponent metallic oxide of substantially cubic perovskite structure, stable in air over the temperature range of 25 DEG -950 DEG C., having no connected through porosity wherein the membrane is of a composition represented by the formula [A1-xA'x][Co1-y-zByB'z]O3- delta , where A 3BOND Ca, Sr, Ba, and mixtures thereof; A' 3BOND La, Y, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Th, U, and mixtures thereof; B 3BOND Fe, Mn, Cr, V, Ti, and mixtures thereof; B' 3BOND Cu, Ni, and mixtures thereof; DIFFERENCE 0.0001</=x</= DIFFERENCE 0.1; DIFFERENCE 0.002</=y<0.05; DIFFERENCE 0.0005</=z</= DIFFERENCE 0.3; delta is determined by the valence of the metals.
