Abstract

Hydrogen mass-transfer between molecular hydrogen and La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.2O3-z (LSGM) has been studied by means of hydrogen isotope exchange with gas phase equilibration. The measurements were carried out within a temperature range of 300–700 °C, with molecular hydrogen pressures of 100, 150 and 200 Pa. It was found that LSGM is capable of consuming hydrogen from the gas phase. The relative number of hydrogen atoms in the LSGM structure varied between 1 and 4 mol.%. The kinetics of hydrogen isotope redistribution revealed that the mass-transfer mechanism between molecular hydrogen in the gas phase and LSGM includes at least three steps. The first two relate to dissociative and associative/molecular adsorption of molecular hydrogen, while the third, identified as the rate-determining step in the exchange process, relates to hydrogen incorporation into LSGM structure. The kinetic and thermodynamic isotope effects of the exchange were estimated.
