ON THE COVER:Membranes for Hydrogen Purification: An Important Step toward a Hydrogen- Based Economy. Obtaining pure hydrogen requires separating it fram other gaseous compounds- mainly COz-that often accompany it in industrial chemical reactions. Advanced membrane techno- logy may prove ta be the key ta the successful, economical production of molecular hydragen, thug helping ta realizethe proposed "hydrogen economy."
Shawn on the Gaveris an artistic representation of the separation of hydragen (green) fram COl (red and white) molecules by means of an advanced membrane (not drawn ta scala). Seethe technical theme that begins on p. 735.
