Catalytic performance of the Fe/Cr/Cu pellets in the high-temperature water–gas shift reaction
摘要
A Fe/Cr/Cu catalyst pellet was developed for the high-temperature water–gas shift reaction (HT-WGSR) to enable efficient hydrogen production from syngas derived from waste plastic gasification. The Fe/Cr/Cu catalyst powder was synthesized via a co-precipitation method and subsequently formed into pellets through compression molding. HT-WGSR performance was evaluated at CO:H2O feed ratios of 1:2–1:4 and operating temperatures of 300–400 °C under a gas hourly space velocity of 10,000 h−1. The highest CO conversion (84–91%) was obtained at 350 °C with a CO:H2O ratio of 1:2, while the maximum H2 selectivity (0.44–0.90) was achieved at 350 °C with a CO:H2O ratio of 1:3. These results highlight the Fe/Cr/Cu catalyst pellets as promising candidates for sustainable hydrogen production in HT-WGSR applications.
