    Newbie brainstorming looking at this summary of hydrogen compression – if metal hydrides were being used for purification/compression & they were cycled on a conveyor, in the oceanic application it would be possible to keep cycling the gas through prior system stages of collection.

    Another idea is to pass gas through some nanotech scale membranes where the combination of small size & low charge properties for extracted hydrogen end up filtering it.

      This 1983 article discusses then already old techniques for separating H2 via membrane diffusion. Current nanotech & large-scale economic objectives support the possibility of creating layers of charged membranes in vents. A large boost in purifying power should be possible.
