Water Gas Shift Reaction ― Research Developments and Applications

Water Gas Shift Reaction outlines the importance of hydrogen as a future fuel and the various hydrogen production methods. It explains the development of catalysts for the water gas shift (WGS) reaction at different temperatures and different steam/CO ratios. It also explains the effect of different dopants on the WGS activity of iron oxide, and explains the promotion and inhibition roles of the dopants on the WGS activity of iron oxide.

In addition, this book describes extensive characterization of modified ferrite catalysts, especially with Mossbauer spectroscopy, and its advantage in understanding the properties of metal-doped ferrite catalysts, the exact dopant location, and its effect on electron-hopping capability and WGS activity of Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ redox couple.

• Provides detailed information on potential catalysts, their development and their pros and cons
