Year: 2024
Type: preprint
Abstract: The efficiency of the catalyst was investigated in relation to temperature, gas hourly space velocity, the ratio of steam to carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) loading, and tar concentration. This review paper emphases on the reaction of Fe/Cr catalyst under a high-temperature water gas shift reaction (WGSR) in a pilot plant. The high amount of tar availability in the producer gas(Syngas), has the inverse relation with hydrogen gas production, and lead to deteriorate the quality of syngas or vice-versa. The previous studies stated that increasing the reaction temperature enhance the higher rate of conversion of carbon mono-oxide (CO), clean Hydrogen (H2) gas production, and out gas flow rates. The conversion of CO was not considerably affected by the molar ratio of steam, but it was. When exposed to H2S poisoning, the Fe/Cr catalyst shown strong deactivation resistance, whereas Reactor 2 displayed balanced H2S adsorption and desorption. Additionally, neither catalytic cracking from reformation nor fouling from deposition of tar, was spotted on the catalytic surface. The findings shows that the Fe/Cr catalyst was reliable and deactivation resistant, making it an excellent choice for implement in the high-temperature Water Gas Shifting process. This review article will be advance our knowledge in the area of syngas conversion through biomass gasification process and contribute in the design of reliable and effective catalytic systems for hydrogen gas synthesis process.
