N2 - Oxygen permeable ceramics based on mixed conductors are attracting much attention for use in partial oxidation of hydrocarbons as a novel technique for syngas and pure hydrogen production. This paper describes the preparation and oxygen permeation properties including methane reforming property of a novel member of oxygen permeable ceramics. The materials used are solid solutions of (La0.5Ba0.3Sr0.2)(FexIn 1-x)O3-δ. The single phase of perovskite-type (La0.5Ba0.3Sr0.2)(FexIn 1-x)O3-δis obtained in the range of x = 0.4 to 0.9. The highest oxygen flux densities of 2.2 and 11 μmol/cm2 s are attained for (La0.5Ba0.3Sr0.2)(Fe xIn1-x)O3-δ.(x = 0.6) at 1000°C under He / air and CH4 / air gradients, respectively. The electrical conductivity of (La0.5Ba0.3Sr0.2)(Fe 0.6In0.4)O3-δ. is dominated by p-type conduction having a slope of 1/4 under the high P(O2) region. The oxide-ion conductivity of the same sample is estimated to be 0.05 S/cm at 800°C. Even though the oxygen flux density slightly decreases with increasing time, high CO selectivity of 90% is kept for 100 h. The oxygen flux density of the solid solution is also discussed in the context of surface exchange kinetics.
