The purification of hydrogen is necessary to fulfill purity standards of a wide variety of prospective uses, and it is also a key concern regarding the efficient supply of hydrogen. Hydrogen Purification and Separation reviews various hydrogen separation methods as well as membranes used in hydrogen separation. It discusses absorption and adsorption methods, as well as novel technologies such as cryogenic methods and plasma‑assisted technology, and the related economic assessments and environmental challenges.

Highlights

• Introduces miscellaneous membrane‑assisted processes for hydrogen separation
• Provides different physiochemical absorption methods for hydrogen purification
• Discusses application of sorbents and swing technologies in hydrogen purification
• Uniquely covers hydrogen separation using novel methods
• Includes economic assessments and environmental challenges of hydrogen purification in detail

Part of the multivolume Handbook of Hydrogen Production and Applications, this standalone book guides researchers and academics in chemical, environmental, energy, and related areas of engineering interested in development and implementation of hydrogen production technologies.
