This project will develop an innovative, effective, and economic                process for high temperature, high pressure gas cleanup.  This will             promote the cost effective utilization of domestic coal reserves.               This objective will be achieved by the development of a novel carbon            molecular sieve-ceramic composite membrane.  The unique chemical and            physical properties of carbon molecular sieves formed interstitially            in a macroporous ceramic support offers the potential of facile                 incorporation into existing ceramic membrane-based particulate removal          systems to provide relatively clean, concentrated hydrogen from hot             coal gas.                                                                                                                                                       Membrane separations for gaseous mixtures have become wide spread               since the development of asymmetric polymer membranes over the last             three decades.  This is because of the relatively low operating costs           for a membrane-based gas separation process.  Utilization has been              limited to low temperature systems, however, because of the lack of             membrane systems capable of withstanding high temperatures.  A number           of ceramic membranes, capable of withstanding high temperatures, have           been developed in the last few years, but they are not suitable for             gas separations because the channels they contain are too large to              separate gas molecules.  In this project an organized carbon structure          will be                                                                         formed inside of the channels of one of the commercially                        successful ceramic membranes.  The deposited carbon will act like               a sieve to selectively pass hydrogen molecules while rejecting                  larger molecules.  The process for making these membranes                       promises to be inexpensive.  One of the many possible                           applications of such a membrane is the conversion of coal to                    gaseous fuels in a manner which would allow an economical                       separation of sulfur compounds from the final product.
