Abstract
Transient kinetic experiments were used to elucidate the reaction mechanism of the water-gas shift reaction on a commercial low-temperature Cu/Zn/Al 2 O 3 catalyst. Concentration programmed experiments were performed in a flow differential reactor at atmospheric pressure in a temperature range of 200–250°C. The full mechanism of water-gas shift reaction derived in this work was simplified for modelling purposes. The estimation and optimisation of kinetic parameters were made on the basis of experimental data. The comparison of experimental and simulated dynamic system responses indicated a good agreement of experimental and model predictions. It has been found that catalyst activity, and consequently the transient system behaviour, is significantly influenced by mutual interactions of gaseous reaction mixture and catalyst surface.
