Membrane materials based on complex oxides with mixed oxygen-ionic and electronic conductivity have been developed, which exhibit long-term stability and high efficiency in the process of oxygen separation from air and partial oxidation of natural gas.

APPLICATION

• Chemical industry: production of methanol, high-octane petrol components, and synthetic hydrocarbons.

• Petroleum industry: hydrocracking and hydrorefning of petroleum products.

• Machine-building: cementation of steel articles.

ADVANTAGES

The developed membranes make it possible:

• to combine oxygen separation from air and partial oxidation of methane into a single process;

• to reduce the production costs for many chemical products.
