The production of CO via Reverse Water Gas Shift (RWGS) reaction is a suitable route for CO2 valorization. In this study series modified spinels AB2O4 (A site = Ni, Zn and Cu B site=Fe) are investigated as RWGS catalysts their structure-to-function relationships derived from the changes on A-site cation rationalized. For all ferrite systems, process main activity selectivity governed by B-site ...

Air-blown gasification of biomass in fluidized bed reactors produces relatively low concentrations of hydrogen. The combination of a catalyst and calcium-based sorbent is being developed to increase the efficiency of converting producer gas from biomass gasification into hydrogen. The conversion process entails reforming the methane and tar, and converting carbon monoxide into hydrogen by the w...

A series of different M/TiO2 catalysts are prepared, where M = Au, Pt, Pd and Ag, with a 0.2 wt% loading, tested for activity as photocatalysts the water gas shift reaction, WGSR, using continuous flow, phase reactor. For both thermal (dark) photocatalytic (UV irradiated) WGSR best catalyst/photocatalyst is Au/TiO2. The kinetics studied function reactor temperature, Au loading concentrations CO...

The iron-based catalyst was prepared by a microemulsion method. The composition of the final nanosized iron catalyst, in terms of the atomic ratio, contains 100Fe/4Cu/2K. The experimental techniques of XRD, BET, TEM, and TPR were used to study the phase, structure, and morphology of the catalyst. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) reaction test was performed in a fixed bed reactor under pressure o...

Combined in situ X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) studies have been conducted to follow gold structural changes of low-content (<1%Au) gold-ceria catalysts in water-gas shift (WGS) reaction tests at 100 and 200 °C; and after heating the used catalysts in oxygen gas at 150 °C. Gold in the fresh (400 °C-calcined) material was atomic...

kinetic modeling is an important issue, whose objective is the accurate determination of the rates of various reactions taking place in a reacting system. this issue is a pivotal element in the process design and development particularly for novel processes which are based on reactions taking place between various types of species. the fischer tropsch (ft) reactions have been used as the kineti...

Na promoted Pt/TiO2 catalysts have been studied under high severity, near equilibrium, conditions for use as a single stage WGS catalyst. Addition of 3 wt% Na to a 1 wt% Pt/TiO2 catalyst has been found to improve water gas shift activity significantly compared to Pt/TiO2, Pt/CeO2, and Pt–Re/TiO2 catalysts. This catalyst is stable when the reaction temperature is higher than 250 C. Deactivation ...
