Aiming at the iron and steel industry decarbonisation with blast furnace gas (BFG) utilisation, a techno-economic feasibility of pre-combustion carbon capture methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) is evaluated herein. The effectiveness water shift (WGS) implementation on performance also investigated. integration power plant decarbonised fuel from unit taken into account both technical economic perspect...

Biohydrogen production from synthesis gas (syngas) was investigated using a local bacterium isolated from anaerobic sludge of dairy wastewater. The isolated strain Rhodopseudomonas palustris PT was able to convert syngas to hydrogen through water shift gas (WGS) reaction. The aim of present study was to determine the optimum concentration of ferric citrate which avoids the cell growth inhibitio...

This paper reports the findings of a FP7 project (DEMCAMER) that developed materials (catalysts and membranes) and new processes for four industrially relevant reaction processes. In this project, active, stable, and selective catalysts were developed for the reaction systems of interest and their production scaled up to kg scale (TRL5 (TRL: Technology Readiness Level)). Simultaneously, new mem...

The technical feasibility of using calcium oxide (CaO) as a sorbent for CO2 and Fe-Cr as a catalyst for the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction using syngas for the steam gasification of biomass was investigated. The effects of temperature, steam to biomass mass ratio, CaO to biomass molar ratio, and Fe-Cr WGS catalyst on gas composition were studied. Within a temperature range of 250 C to 550 C, ...

Low-content (<0.6 at.%) gold-ceria samples were prepared by one-pot synthesis by the urea gelation/co-precipitation method, and by sodium cyanide leaching of high-content (5 at.%) gold-ceria materials prepared by deposition–precipitation. These catalysts, containing cationic gold in ceria, are active for both the low-temperature water–gas shift (WGS) reaction and the preferential oxidation of C...

Water–gas shift (WGS) reaction was performed over 5% Ni/CeO2, Ni/Ce-5% Sm-O, Gd-O, 1% Re 4% Sm-O and Gd-O catalysts to reduce CO concentration produce extra hydrogen. CeO2 M-doped ceria (M = Sm Gd) were prepared using a combustion method, then nickel rhenium added onto the mixed oxide supports an impregnation method. The influence of rhenium, samarium gadolinium on structural redox properties m...

Water dissociation on copper is one of the rate-limiting steps in the water-gas-shift (WGS) reaction. Copper atoms dispersed evenly from freshly made catalyst segregate to form clusters under the WGS operating conditions. Using density functional theory, we have examined water adsorption and dissociation on the smallest stable 3-dimensional copper cluster, Cu(7). Water molecules are adsorbed on...

Combined in situ X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) studies have been conducted to follow gold structural changes of low-content (<1%Au) gold-ceria catalysts in water-gas shift (WGS) reaction tests at 100 and 200 °C; and after heating the used catalysts in oxygen gas at 150 °C. Gold in the fresh (400 °C-calcined) material was atomic...
