摘要:
Provided are a method of efficient separation/purification of hydrogen from a hydrogen-containing gas that contains, in addition to hydrogen, at least one component of water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen in an amount of at least 1% where the hydrogen permeability is kept high; a hydrogen separation membrane for use in the method; and a hydrogen purification apparatus.The hydrogen purification method for separation/purification of hydrogen from a hydrogen-containing gas that contains at least one component of water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen in an amount of at least 1% is characterized by using a hydrogen separation membrane produced by adhering fine particles of palladium to the surface of a palladium alloy membrane; the hydrogen separation membrane is for use for the method; and the hydrogen purification apparatus comprises the membrane.
