Abstract:
The effects of the addition of small amount of Zr (less than 2 at%) to the fcc phase of the Pd-Cu hydrogen separation alloy were investigated. Hydrogen flux variations in Pd-Cu and Pd-Cu-Zr alloys in the presence of 1000 ppm H2S + H2 feed gas showed a marked effect of Zr addition in improving the resistance to sulphur poisoning.
