Water-gas shift reaction over porous catalyst; temperature and reactant concentration distribution

摘要

This work represents the results of theoretical study of the distribution of concentration and temperature in porous catalyst, carried out over spherical iron oxide/chromia catalyst pellets for the water-gas shift reaction (WGSR). The kinetic information has been taken from an earlier study (G. C. Chinchen et al., Appl. Catal., 12 (1984) 97) for the above reaction/ The mass and heat transfer distribution coupled with chemical reaction, outside and within the catalyst particles for water-gas Shift reaction was estimated in this present study. A computer program was written to calculate both concentration profile and Temperature profile for the water-gas shift reaction.
