TY  - JOUR
AB  - This study investigates the performance of ultra-microporous cobalt oxide silica membranes for processing simulated gas streams containing toluene as a model tar compound in gasification. The performance of the membranes was initially investigated for He (simulating H 2 ), CO 2 , N 2  and Ar in a range of temperatures. Subsequently, toluene was added to a gas mixture containing He and tested to simulate the effect of toluene as a tar compound in gasification. The membranes delivered molecular sieving features, showing activated transport as the permeation of the smaller molecular gas He increased with temperature whilst the permeation decreased for the other larger molecular gases. Prior to toluene exposure, He permeance increased by almost twofold from 3.6 × 10 − 8  to 7.1 × 10 − 8  mol m − 2  s − 1  Pa − 1  as the temperature was raised from 50 to 200 °C. Under a feed gas containing 0.24 mol% toluene, He permeance decreased by an average value of 17%. Upon regeneration of the membrane by heat, He permeance was not fully recovered, a clear indication of tar fouling. A toluene balance calculation showed toluene being retained by the membrane.
