Spectrokinetic investigation of reverse water-gas-shift reaction intermediates over a Pt/CeO2 catalyst

Bioreactor Scale-up for Water-Gas Shift Reaction

A scale-up study has been performed with three different size reactors to establish the optimum operating conditions for the hydrogen production from synthesis gas by biological water-gas shift reaction using the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodosprilliunt rubrum. Optimum medium composition and operating conditions previously determined in a bench scale 1.25 L continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR...

Kinetics of the Homogeneous Reverse Water-gas Shift Reaction at High Temperature

The high-temperature rate of reaction of the homogeneous, reverse water-gas shift reaction, rWGSR, has been evaluated in quartz reactors with rapid feed pre-heating at low-pressure and high-pressure conditions. The form of the powerlaw rate expression was consistent with the Bradford mechanism. The Arrhenius expressions for the reaction rate constant corresponding to the empty reactor were in v...

Kinetic Study of the Reverse Water Gas Shift Reaction in High-temperature, High- Pressure Homogeneous Systems

Introduction The Water Gas Shift Reaction (WGSR), an important industrial reaction for the production of chemicals and/or hydrogen, is expected to play a key role in the integration of gasification technologies with a H2 production/recovery unit. The effluent stream of the gasifier, mainly H2, CO and CO2 at high pressure (up to 30 atm) and temperature (up to 1000C), will be directed to the wate...

Mechanistic Insights into CO2 Activation via Reverse Water−Gas Shift on Metal Surfaces

By the means of density functional theory calculations, we find that CO2 activation via reverse water−gas shift (r-WGS) follows different elementary steps on different metals (Pt, Rh, Ni, Cu, Ag, and Pd). We relate these differences to the interactions between the adsorbed oxygen and the metals, which strongly affect the dissociation activation energy. In particular, CO2 dissociation is favored...
