High Temperature Water Gas Shift Reaction in Zeolite Membrane Reactors

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: The water gas shift (WGS) reaction is a key operation in the production of hydrogen from fossil fuels (primarily coal and natural gas), biomass, and organic wastes through high temperature gasification processes.WGS reaction in hydrogen permselective membrane reactors has the potential to achieve both near-completion CO conversion and H 2 separation in a single unit operation that may significantly simplify and intensify the process and ultimately lead to dramatic cost reduction.Ideal membranes for CO + H 2 O ↔ H 2 + CO 2 CO + H 2 O H 2 CO 2 Catalyst bed Membrane CO + H 2 O ↔ H 2 + CO 2 CO + H 2 O H 2 CO
