This work presents the development and characterization of alumina–carbon black (ACB) composite membranes for enhanced hydrogen separation performance. A series of membranes containing 0–3.0 wt.% carbon black was fabricated via high-temperature sintering and systematically investigated with respect to their structural, morphological, mechanical, and gas separation properties. The addition of carbon black significantly influenced membrane microstructure, promoting pore network formation, increasing specific surface area, and enhancing gas transport. Gas permeation tests using H<inf>2</inf> and N<inf>2</inf> revealed that all ACB membranes exhibited higher hydrogen permeance than the pure Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> membrane. Notably, the ACB3.0 specimen demonstrated the highest H<inf>2</inf> permeance of 508 × 10−6 mol m−2 s−1 Pa−1 at 303 K, which is nearly four times greater than the unmodified membrane. At an elevated temperature (773 K), H<inf>2</inf>/N<inf>2</inf> selectivity improved with increasing carbon black content, with ACB3.0 achieving a maximum selectivity of 3.82, exceeding the theoretical Knudsen value, suggesting a synergistic contribution of Knudsen diffusion and surface diffusion. These results demonstrate that carbon black is a cost-effective and versatile additive for modifying ceramic membranes, offering a promising route for advancing hydrogen purification technologies in industrial applications.

Graphene oxide (GO) membranes have attracted considerable interest for hydrogen (H<inf>2</inf>) purification applications. However, the addition of GO into matrix materials to enhance the efficiency of H<inf>2</inf> permeation remains a challenge. In this study, the fabrication of alumina/graphene oxide (AGO) composites containing varying contents of GO (0.5–3.0 wt.%) was investigated. The AGO composites were formed into pellets and sintered for 2 h at 1500 °C. Accordingly, the presence of GO in the membranes following sintering was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. Additionally, the porosity of the AGO composites increased from 3.7% to 26.9% as the GO concentration increased from 0.5 wt.% to 3.0 wt.%. Furthermore, the average pore diameter of the AGO composites was in the range of 87–228 nm, and the pore size distribution was unimodal. The performance of the AGO membranes was investigated for the permeance of single gases H<inf>2</inf> and N<inf>2</inf> at 30–500 °C to evaluate their potential for H<inf>2</inf> separation applications. The AGO membranes with a GO addition of 2.5 and 3.0 wt.% exhibited a high hydrogen permeance of 232–410 × 10−6 mol m−2 s−1 Pa−1, which was approximately 10 times greater than that of pristine Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> membrane. Additionally, the ideal H<inf>2</inf>/N<inf>2</inf> selectivity values ranged from 4.02 to 4.20. Furthermore, gas permeation through the AGO membrane was observed to follow the Knudsen diffusion mechanism.

Aluminum titanate (Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf>) is a promising material for high-temperature applications due to its low thermal expansion, high melting point, and excellent corrosion resistance. In this study, the effect of h-BN addition on the properties of Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf> composites was investigated. The composites were prepared by sintering a mixture of Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> and TiO<inf>2</inf> at a 1:1 molar ratio, with varying amounts of h-BN (5-20 mol%) added to the mixture. The samples were sintered at 1,500ºC for 4 h in N<inf>2</inf> atmosphere, and the bulk density, porosity, phase transition, microstructure, flexural strength, and hardness of the composites were investigated. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf>, Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>, and Al<inf>18</inf>B<inf>4</inf>O<inf>33</inf> phases in the composites. The addition of h-BN in increasing amounts from 5 to 20 mol% resulted in a gradual improvement in the bulk density, flexural strength, and hardness of the Al<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>5</inf> composites. The composite with the highest h-BN content (20 mol%) exhibited a bulk density of 3.12 g/cm3, as well as the highest flexural strength and hardness values of 123.6±8.9 MPa and 11.2±4.1 GPa, respectively.

Hydrogen sulfide (H<inf>2</inf>S) is one of the most common pollutants found in natural gas and industrial waste. Over the few decades, the removal of H<inf>2</inf>S has become a significant problem. In the field of a clean environment such as water purification and toxic gas removal, graphene oxide (GO) has been found to have advantages. In this study, the influence of GO on alumina (Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>) as an adsorbent of H<inf>2</inf>S was examined. A series of Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>/GO (AGO) composites with varying graphene oxide addition (0.5–3.0 wt%) were prepared using the high-temperature sintering method. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicate the primary phase of Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> with hexagonal crystal structure for all AGO composites. Raman spectrometry measurements confirmed that the GO particles were incorporated in AGO composites. The TEM image indicated that GO nanosheets were embedded between Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> grains. The efficiency of AGO adsorbent at ambient temperature was investigated and compared with the pristine Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> adsorbent. The AGO composites adsorbent demonstrated the H<inf>2</inf>S breakthrough capacity in the range of 0.07–0.43 mg/g, which is higher than that of pristine Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> (0.06 mg/g). Furthermore, the highest H<inf>2</inf>S breakthrough capacity of 0.43 mg/g was obtained from AGO containing 3.0 wt% GO. This investigation demonstrates that the AGO adsorbent fabricated using a simple method has the potential to be used for H<inf>2</inf>S removal at ambient temperature.
