Water gas shift reaction (WGS) is normally performed in a two-stage process, a first stage at high temperature (HTS) conventionally carried out at 623 - 873 K on Fe/Cr-based catalyst, to take advantage from a fast reaction, and a second stage at low temperature (LTS) at 423 - 573 K on Cu/Zn-based catalysts, to reach a favourable thermodynamic equilibrium condition. A single-stage process involves at the same time a cost reduction in plant setup as well as operative conditions; however at the moment, due to the lack of efficient catalytic systems the one-stage WGS systems is not widely diffused. Noble metals arise today as a promising solution in this direction, so in this work great attention was focused on the preparation and testing of differently-supported Platinum-based catalysts.

Abstract
Water gas shift reaction (WGS) is normally performed in a two-stage process, a first stage at high temperature (HTS) conventionally carried out at 623 - 873 K on Fe/Cr-based catalyst, to take advantage from a fast reaction, and a second stage at low temperature (LTS) at 423 - 573 K on Cu/Zn-based catalysts, to reach a favourable thermodynamic equilibrium condition. A single-stage process involves at the same time a cost reduction in plant setup as well as operative conditions; however at the moment, due to the lack of efficient catalytic systems the one-stage WGS systems is not widely diffused. Noble metals arise today as a promising solution in this direction, so in this work great attention was focused on the preparation and testing of differently-supported Platinum-based catalysts.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
