The most promising methods for high purity hydrogen production are membranes separation such as polymer, metal, ceramic and composites. It is well known that Pd and Pd-alloys membranes have excellent properties for hydrogen separation. However, it has hydrogen embrittlement and high cost for practical applications. Therefore, most scientists have studied new materials instead of Pd and Pd-alloys. On the other hand, ceramic materials are great in resistance to acids and chemically stable under high operating temperature. Recent research in cermet materials for membrane applications interests to permeability and selectivity of hydrogen. High purity hydrogen can be produced through simple process by membrane. Recently, research in ceramic composites for membrane applications attract to hydrogen separation. Porous ceramic membrane process which has high permeability and hydrogen flux is chemically and thermally stable. Therefore, they are attractive for applications in hydrogen production process. However, porous ceramic membrane had low selectivity, hard to produce high purity hydrogen. Many studies were carried out Pd and Pd alloys coating, they were fabricated dense cermet membrane. In this work, ACZ ceramic membrane was fabricated disk type membrane by cold isostatic press (CIP) and then coated Pd and Pd-alloys.. It was characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX and BET. Also, we estimated the hydrogen permeability by Sievert's type hydrogen permeation membrane equipment.
