In our group membrane based elctrolyzers are developed for the production of Husing novel processes like the hybrid sulphur (HyS) process where the hydrogen is produced by the oxidation of SO2 in the presence of water forming H2SO4.  Both new and existing membranes are screened for their suitability for this process in terms of proton conductivity, SO2permeance and H2SO4 stability.Screen printer F1-12 from Systematic Automation
