“…In another work, Basile et al . [169] illustrated that a CO conversion of around 98.0% could be reached by using an MR working at around 320 • C and utilizing a composite membrane with a 10-µm Pd film coated on a ceramic support. Furthermore, Basile et al .…”

The water-gas shift (WGS) reaction is a well-known step for upgrading carbon monoxide to hydrogen in the production of synthesis gas. For more than 90 years after its first industrial application, many issues in respect of the catalyst, process configuration, reactor design, reaction mechanisms and kinetics have been investigated. More recently, a renewed interest in the WGS reaction carried out in hydrogen perm-selective membrane reactors (MRs) has been observed because of the growing use of polymeric electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells that operate using high-purity hydrogen. Moreover, MRs are viewed as an interesting technology in order to overcome the equilibrium conversion limitations in traditional reactors.This article reviews the most relevant topics of WGS MR technology -catalysis and membrane science. The most used catalysts and relevant progress achieved so far are described and critically reviewed. The effects of the most important parameters affecting the WGS in MRs are detailed. In addition, an overview on the most used membranes in MRs is also presented and discussed. 

“…The concept was successfully demonstrated in many studies targeted at hydrogen production from hydrocarbons or coal [181,182,184,193,194,196], the recovery of tritium from tritiated water in the fusion reactor fuel cycle [183,185,189], the removal of CO 2 for integrated gasification combined-cycle power stations [187], and at the conversion of residual CO and hydrogen in the solid oxide fuel cell anode off-gas [249]. In order to achieve a low CO content, it is normally performed in two steps -that is, a high-temperature shift (320-470 • C, Fe − Cr-oxide catalyst) followed by a lowtemperature shift (180-270 • C, Cu − ZnO catalyst).…”

“…Palladium alloy membranes are also considered as potential candidates for large and continuous hydrogen isotope separation because they present isotope effects in permeation [4][5][6]. Besides, by combining catalysis with pervasion, palladium membrane reactor has been used as tritium recovery apparatus from tritiated water and other tritiated gases [7,8].…”
