Separation and Purification Technologies for Hydrogen
Description
There are many courses dedicated to the production of hydrogen as an energy carrier, as well as to some of its applications, but the offerings are much more limited when it comes to the processes and operations related to its separation and purification. This course will present, describe, and analyze the available technologies for separating hydrogen from other gases (depending on its production process: reforming, electrolysis, gasification, etc.) and for purifying it to the required level for its subsequent application (hydrogenation, fuel cells, insulation, etc.). It covers everything from the preliminary stages of drying and compression, through separation and purification processes using absorption, adsorption, or membranes. The advantages and disadvantages of each technology will be evaluated, and the challenges for the future development of new, more efficient technologies will be identified.
Objectives
That the student understands the quality of raw hydrogen based on the production process used.
To provide a general understanding of the technologies available for compressing hydrogen.
To get a detailed knowledge of the hydrogen separation and purification technologies based on absorption, adsorption and membrane processes.
To ompare technically and economically the technologies available for separating and purifying hydrogen based on the flow rate to be treated, the required purity and the associated cost, providing industrial examples.
Learning outcomes and type of achievement
To be able to analyze the fundamental elements of hydrogen as an energy carrier, specifically regarding its purification.
To recognize the requirements and specifications of hydrogen based on its applications.
To be able to study and analyze hydrogen separation and purification processes based on available technologies.
To understand the current situation in the industrial and transportation sectors where hydrogen starts being used.

Sustainable development goals
Agenda 2030 is the new international development agenda approved in September 2015 by the United Nations. This agenda aims to be an instrument to favour sustainable human development all over the planet, and its main pillars are the eradication of poverty, a reduction in equality and vulnerability and fostering sustainability. It is a unique opportunity to transform the world up to 2030 and guarantee human rights for all.
7 - Affordable and clean energy
Guaranteeing access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for everyone. Key issues: universal access, increased proportion of clean energies, energy efficiency, research, fostering investments in energy infrastructures and clean technologies, modern and sustainable energy services.
