Introduction Hydrogen is an attractive alternative fuel to meet ever- growing energy requirements while reducing the reliance on oil and gas, with their attendant environ- mental and resource problems. By contrast, hydrogen is potentially an inexhaustible, clean and environ- mentally sustainable resource. One way to produce high purity hydrogen is by separation from hydrogen- containing gas mixtures produced by catalytic or chemical manufacturing processes. Hydrogen production volumes vary widely,depend- ing on the end use application.These can range from several cubic metres per hour (m3 h−1) for micro- and nanoelectronics and portable energy sources such as fuel cells, to tens or hundreds of m3 h−1 for transport and small stationary energy sources, tens of thou- sands of m3 h−1 for the chemical industry and metal- lurgical applications, and hundreds of thousands of m3 h−1 for large stationary energy installations and hydrogen production plants. Recent progress in hydrogen power engineering means that the demand for high purity hydrogen 3 © 2011 Johnson Matthey doi:10.1595/147106711X540346 •Platinum Metals Rev., 2011, 55, (1)• (>99.9999 vol%) is increasing rapidly.The pressure There has been growing interest in the develop- swing adsorption method is most frequently used in ment of palladium-based alloy membranes for hydro- the USA (1).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI48106-1346 ABSTRACT Chen Duxiu's Early Years: The Importance of Personal Connections in the Social and Intellectual Transformation of China 1895-1920 by Anne Shen Chao Chen Duxiu (1879-1942), is without question one of the most significant figures in modern Chinese history. Yet his early life has been curiously neglected in Western scholarship. In this dissertation I examine the political, social and intellectual networks that played such an important role in his early career—a career that witnessed his transformation from a classical scholar in the Qing dynasty (1644-1912), to a reformer, to a revolutionary, to a renowned writer and editor, to a university dean, to a founder of the Chinese Communist Party, all in the space of about two decades.
