| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to develop a novel device for separating gas species utilizing the Soret effect. It is mass diffusion phenomenon caused by temperature gradient only. The separation of hydrogen from mixture of hydrogen(50%) - carbon dioxide(50%) was investigated in the experiment. By using an initial test device of network structure, the separation of hydrogen was found to be so small as 1/15 (+0.7 % increase) of the theoretically predicted value. Through basic experiments using a single element unit of the network structure and the increase of the device thickness up to 400 micrometer, the separation was successfully improved to 1/7 of the theoretical value. However, its separation ability is still too small for practical use. Significant increase of the number of element units in the network structure, and further improvement of the thermal insulation of the device body will be necessary in the future.END
