Water gas shift(WGS) is an important step in fuel process for fuel cells, and improperness of commercial WGS catalysts for use in fuel cell systems has prompted numerous researches on noble metal catalysts. A selected noble metal catalyst for water gas shift reaction(WGS) was prepared with various metal loadings. The prepared catalysts were tested under two feeding conditions. At moderate residence time, carbon monoxide conversion was much higher on the noble metal catalysts as compared to commercial high-temperature shift catalyst. Effects of metal loading were examined by activity tests at short residence time. Higher metal loading effected higher reaction rate. The kinetic data was fitted to simple reaction equations and effectiveness factor was estimated. The results suggest the necessity of a structural design for the highly active noble metal catalysts.

Cu-Zn-Al catalysts were prepared via co-precipitation method for low-temperature water-gas shift (LT-WGS) reaction under practical reaction condition. Aging time was systematically changed to find optimum point for LT-WGS under practical condition. The Cu-Zn-Al catalyst aged for 72 hours showed the highest CO conversion within low-temperature range as well as very stable catalytic activity for 200 hours despite the practical reaction condition.

일산화탄소를 수소로 변환하는 수성가스전환반응(WGSR)은 수소 생산, 연료개질 시스템뿐만 아니라 암모니아 제조, 제철소 제련과정등 일선 산업현장에서 널리 활용되고 있다. 상용공정에서의 WGS반응은 두 단계의 반응기(HTS/LTS)에서 각각 Fe/Cr, Cu/Zn기반 촉매를 사용하여 이루어진다. 하지만 이러한 촉매들은 공기중 자연발화성이 있고 사용전 환원과정이 필요하다. 또한 최근에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있는 귀금속 담지 촉매는 기존 촉매의 단점을 극복하고 활성이 높은 장점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서 제시한 페로브스카이트 촉매는 상용 촉매, 귀금속 담지촉매 시스템과의 비교를 위하여 제작된 촉매를 사용한 반응시스템과 기존 상용촉매를 사용한 반응시스템을 비교하여 개발 촉매의 성능 수준을 검토하였다. 이러한 결과 페로브스카이트 구조 촉매는 상용촉매의 공정상의 단점과 귀금속 담지촉매의 가격적인 측면에서의 단점을 동시에 극복한 촉매로서 성능 및 메탄화반응 억제 측면에서 우수성을 보유하고 있다는 것을 증명하였다. 이러한 페로브스카이트 구조 촉매의 반응특성을 규명하기 위해 문헌조사해본 결과 기존 수성가스전환반응에서 쓰이는 촉매들의 반응매카니즘은 대표적으로 formate와 redox 반응 두가지가 있었다. 페로스브스카이트 구조 촉매는 그 구조와 귀금속 함량, 활성 등 성능측면에서 귀금속 촉매와 상당히 유사한 측면이 있기 때문에 귀금속 담지 촉매의 반응속도식을 기본으로 하여 실험결과와 일치시켜 페로브스카이트구조 촉매에 맞는 반응속도식을 제시하고 이를 통한 반응파라미터 값을 도출하였다.

Na promoted Pt/$CeO_2$ catalysts with various Na amounts (1, 2, and 3wt%) have been applied to water gas shift reaction (WGS) at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 45515 $h^{-1}$. 1wt%Pt-2wt%Na/$CeO_2$ catalyst exhibited the highest WGS activity at $240^{\circ}C$ among the catalysts prepared in this study. In addition, 1wt%Pt-2wt%Na/$CeO_2$ catalyst showed relatively stable activity with time on stream. The high activity/stability of 1wt%Pt-2wt%Na/$CeO_2$ catalyst was correlated to its easier reducibility and higher oxygen storage capacity (OSC). As a result, 2wt% Na promoted Pt/$CeO_2$ can be a promising candidate catalyst for the single stage WGS, which requires high intrinsic activity at very high GHSV.

최근 WGS반응용 Pt 촉매의 성능 향상을 위한 다양한 담체 및 조촉매(Promotor) 개발에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 선행 연구결과, 입방(Cubic)구조를 가지는 $Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ 담체는 정방 입계(Tetragonal)구조를 가지는 $Ce_{0.2}Zr_{0.8}O_2$ 담체 또는 혼합산화물(Mixed oxide)구조를 가지는 $Ce_{0.5}Zr_{0.5}O_2$ 담체 보다 높은 활성과 안전성을 가진다. 이것은 촉매의 성능 향상이 Ce-$ZrO_2$의 결정구조에 의존한다는 것을 나타낸다. 따라서 WGS 반응에서 Ce/Zr 비에 따라 변화된 담체 특성이 Pt 촉매의 활성에 영향이 있을 것으로 예상되며 실험결과 1% Pt/$CeO_2$ 촉매가 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 따라서 Pt/Ce-$ZrO_2$ 촉매의 성능 향상을 위해 Ce-$ZrO_2$ 담체에 조촉매인 Ni을 첨가하여 촉매적 활성을 비교하여 보았다. 촉매는 2%의 Pt과 15%의 Ni로 고정하였고 Ce/Zr 비를 제조변수로 하였다. 제조된 모든 담체는 공침법(Co-precipitation)을 사용하여 제조하였으며 $500^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 소성하였다. Pt 촉매는 함침법 (Incipient wetness impregnation)으로 담지 시켰다. 2% Pt/Ce-$ZrO_2$ 촉매와 2% Pt/15% Ni-Ce-$ZrO_2$ 촉매는 저온영역($200^{\circ}{\sim}320^{\circ}C$)에서 비슷한 CO 전환율을 나타내었으나 고온영역($360^{\circ}C{\sim}400^{\circ}C$)에서는 2% Pt/15% Ni-Ce-$ZrO_2$ 촉매가 더 높은 CO의 전환율을 나타내었다. 이것은 Ni의 영향으로 고온에서 부반응인 메탄화 반응(Methanation reaction)이 생긴 것으로 판단되어 메탄($CH_4$)의 선택도를 살펴본 결과 2% Pt/15% Ni-Ce-$ZrO_2$ 촉매가 고온영역($360^{\circ}{\sim}400^{\circ}C$)에서 급격하게 증가하는 것으로 나타나 메탄화 반응이 일어난 사실을 증명한다.

The interest in water gas shift (WGS) reaction has grown significantly, as a result of the recent advances in fuel cell technology and the need to develop small-scale fuel processors. Recently, researchers have tried to overcome the disadvantages of the commercial WGS catalysts. As a consequence, supported Pt catalysts have attracted a lot of researchers due to high activity and stability for WGS at low temperatures. In this study, $Pt-Na/Ce_{(1-x)}Zr_{(x)}O_2$ catalysts with various Ce/Zr ratio have been applied to WGS at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of $45,515h^{-1}$. According to TPR patterns of $Pt-Na/Ce_{(1-x)}Zr_{(x)}O_2$ catalysts, the reducibility increases with decreasing the $ZrO_2$ content. As a result, Cubic structure $Pt-Na/Ce_{(1-x)}Zr_{(x)}O_2$ catalysts exhibited higher CO conversion than tetragonal structure $Pt-Na/Ce_{(1-x)}Zr_{(x)}O_2$ catalysts. Expecially, Pt-Na/$CeO_2$ exhibited the highest CO conversion as well as 100% selectivity to $CO_2$. Moreover, Pt-Na/$CeO_2$ catalyst showed relatively stable activity with time on stream. The high activity of cubic structure Pt-Na/$CeO_2$ catalyst was correlated to its higher oxygen storage capacity (OSC) of $CeO_2$ and easier reducibility of Pt/$CeO_2$.

Simulated waste-derived synthesis gas has been tested for hydrogen production through water-gas shift (WGS) reaction over supported Cu catalysts prepared by co-precipitation method. $CeO_2$, $ZrO_2$, MgO, and $Al_2O_3$ were employed as supports for WGS reaction in this study. $Cu-CeO_2$ catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity as well as 100% $CO_2$ selectivity for WGS in severe conditions ($GHSV=40,206h^{-1}$ and CO concentration = 38.0%). In addition, $Cu-CeO_2$ catalyst showed stable CO conversion for 20h without detectable catalyst deactivation. The high activity and stability of $Cu-CeO_2$ catalyst are correlated to its easier reducibility, high oxygen mobility/storage capacity of $CeO_2$.

The kinetics of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and water gas shift reactions over a precipitated iron catalyst were studied in a 5 channel fixed-bed reactor. Experimental conditions were changed as follows: synthesis gas $H_2$/CO feed ratios of 0.5~2, reactants flow rate of 60~80 ml/min, and reaction temperature of $255{\sim}275^{\circ}C$ at a constant pressure of 1.5 MPa. The reaction rate of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was calculated from Eley-Rideal mechanism in which the rate-determining step was the formation of the monomer species (methylene) by hydrogenation of associatively adsorbed CO. Whereas water gas shift reaction rate was determined by the formation of a formate intermediate species as the rate-determining step. As a result, the reaction rates of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis for the hydrocarbon formation and water gas shift for the $CO_2$ production were in good agreement with the experimental values, respectively. Therefore, the reaction rates ($r_{FT}$, $r_{WGS}$, $-r_{CO}$) derived from the reaction mechanisms showed good agreement both with experimental values and with some kinetic models from literature.

In this paper, various operating parameters of stream reforming process from methane in preconverter for MCFC is studied by numerical method. Commercial code is used to simulated the porous catalyst with user subroutine to model three dominant chemical reactions which are Stream Reforming(SR), Water-Gas Shift(WGS), and Direct Stram Reforming(DSR). The hydrogen production is tested with different wall temperature, Gas Hourly Space Velocity(GHSV), and different reactor shapes.
