ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF OXYGEN SEPARATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C01B13/02 B01D53/22 B01D53/32 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to electrically drive oxygen separator. Said separator comprises at least one tubular membrane with anode and cathode layers, electrolyte layer arranged there between, and two layers of current collector to adjoin and to stay in contact with anode and cathode layers and located on inner and outer sides of said tubular membrane. Besides it comprises a set of conductors connected with one of two layers of current collectors at two spaced apart points of tubular membrane and with the other of two layers of current collector spaced from two central points so that power supply can apply electric potential via said set of conductors between two spaced apart central points and two opposite end points. Note here that electric current induced by said potential passing via at least one tubular membrane is divided into two parts passing between two spaced apart central points and two opposite end points. Invention relates also to the method of electric potential application, to tubular membrane for electrically driven oxygen separator and to tubular membrane end seal.

EFFECT: improved operating performances.
