Catalytic Coatings of New Generation Based on Mo2C and a Microstructured Reactor for Steam Conversion of Carbon Monoxide

摘要

Cathodic processes occurring in the course of molybdenum hemicarbide synthesis on molybdenum supports (Mo2C/Mo) were studied by cyclic voltammetry. The coatings synthesized were tested as catalysts in steam conversion of carbon monoxide. The catalytic activity of the Mo2C/Mo system in this reaction is higher by 1-3 orders of magnitude than that of the commercial catalyst Cu/ZnO/Al2O3. A microstructured heat-exchanging reactor was designed and fabricated on the basis of the kinetic data obtained.
