An Exceptionally Active Catalyst for Generating Hydrogen from Water...

摘要

The Water Gas Shift (WGS) reaction is of profound academic and commercial interest as a convenient means of producing H for fuel cells and other applications in the drive towards clean technology. It is universal industrial practice to effect the WGS reaction in two steps. The first is done at high temperature (300 to 500°C) using a Fe3O4- based catalyst. The second step, the Low temperature Water Gas Shift (LT WGS), uses Cu/ ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst in the region 200 to 300°C.
