The composite system of nanostructured gold and cerium oxide, with a gold loading 5–8 wt%, is reported in this work as a very good catalyst for low-temperature water–gas shift. Activity depends largely on the presence of nanosized ceria particles. Various techniques of preparation of an active catalyst are disscussed. The presence of gold is crucial for activity below 300 ◦C. A dramatic effect ...

Novel ruthenium-based supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) catalysts for the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction are reported which, compared to classical low temperature shift systems, operate at much lower temperatures and even at ambient pressure.

Nanostructured Au–ceria is a promising new catalyst for low-temperature water-gas shift (LTS). Preparation, characterization, and catalytic properties of this material are reported in this paper. Gold–ceria was prepared by deposition–precipitation (DP), coprecipitation (CP), and gelation methods. The gold loading was varied between 1 and 8.3 at.%, while lanthanum used as a dopant in ceria, was ...

The kinetics of the high-temperature (1070-1134 K), low and high-pressure gasphase forward water-gas shift reaction were evaluated in an empty quartz reactor and a quartz reactor packed with quartz particles. The power law expression for the reaction rate was consistent with the Bradford mechanism and was invariant with respect to pressure. The experimental rate constant was lower than that pub...

Introduction The Water Gas Shift Reaction (WGSR), an important industrial reaction for the production of chemicals and/or hydrogen, is expected to play a key role in the integration of gasification technologies with a H2 production/recovery unit. The effluent stream of the gasifier, mainly H2, CO and CO2 at high pressure (up to 30 atm) and temperature (up to 1000C), will be directed to the wate...

In design of anaerobic bioreactor, rate equation is commonly used. Mathematical model was developed at steady state condition, to project concentration of gaseous substrate and product in biological oxidation of carbon monoxide with water to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The concept of bioconversion was based on transport of CO from gas phase to liquid phase, as the CO consumption was in...
