In this work, a proof-of-concept module with 7 ceramic tubular membranes was designed and tested in a high pressure test stand. To ensure high oxygen production rates, asymmetric membranes with a length of 70 cm consisting of a porous Ba0.5Sr0.5(Co0.8Fe0.2)0.97Zr0.03O3-d support and a dense Ba0.5Sr0.5(Co0.8Fe0.2)0.97Zr0.03O3-d thin separation layer were used. The module was successfully operated at up to 5.4 bar for 280 h in a temperature range from 650 °C to 850 °C. Oxygen purities up to 96.5% and flow rates up to 6.2 ml/cm2/min were measured, and a total maximum oxygen production of 227 NLPH was demonstrated.enoxygen transport membranecarbon capture utilization and storageoxygen productionceramic membraneoxy-fuel combustion620541666journal article
