Partial oxidation of methane(POM) co-fed with CO_2 to syngas in a novel catalytic BaCo_(0.6)Fe_(0.2)Ta_(0.2)O_(3-δ) oxygen permeable membrane reactor was successfully reported.Adding CO_2 to the partial oxidation of methane reaction not only alters the ratio of CO/H_2,but also increases the oxygen permeation flux and CH_4 conversion.Around 96%CH_4 conversion with more than 93%CO_2 conversion and 100%CO selectivity is achieved,which shows an excellent reaction performance.A steady oxygen permeation flux of 15 mL/(cm^2 min) is obtained during the 100-h operation,which shows good stability as well.

Mixed conducting perovskite oxide SrCo_(0.9)Ta_(0.1)O_(3-δ)(SCT) is synthesized by solid-state reaction method.The activation in the initial stage of oxygen permeation through the SCT membrane is investigated.The results show that the activation in the initial stage of oxygen permeation has activate-memory,the first activation can only help to reduce active time of the next cycles,but it is helpless to increase the final oxygen permeation flux.XRD characterization shows that the imperfect perovskite phase structure is gradually improved and the crystal lattice has made some self-adjustment under the permeation conditions,therefore,the oxygen permeation flux of SCT disk membrane increases gradually and till it reaches a steady state.
