Reaction Rate of Water-Gas Shift Reaction

The water gas shift reaction assisted by a palladium membrane reactor

“…These were put to test, to judge how closely the experimental results could be reproduced. Among them, the rate equation reported by Kodama et al (1955) most closely correlated with experimentally obtained data, as shown typically in Here Kv is the equilibrium constant, 11.92 at 673 K, and the rate constant k is determined to be 5. 4 x 103 [cm3-(STP) cm"1 min"1 atm'1] per unit length of catalyst bed, Figure 2.…”

“…Dev., Vol. 16,No. chenko, 1959,1962; Barkley et al, 1952;Bohlbro, 1964; Bortolini, 1958; Goodridge and Quazi, 1967;Hulburt and Srinivasan, 1961;Kirrillov, 1959; Kodama et al, 1952Kodama et al, ,1955; Kulkova and Temkin, 1949;Popov, 1957;Puri et al, 1973) propose different rate equations. Each of the latter rate equations is of complex order and different from those proposed by others.…”

“…[193] In his 1999 memoir on Fukui, Yonezawa commented that "at the time when this work was conducted, Professor Fukui became a nonsmoker." [194] n. February 2, 1955: Reaction Rate of Water-Gas Shift Reaction [195] In this 1955 paper, Kodama, Mazume, Fukuba and Fukui published a major chemical-chemical engineering study on the water-gas reaction and the reverse gas-water reaction (eq. 3).…”

“…3). [195] The water-gas reaction is a commercially important chemical reaction to produce hydrogen gas on an industrial scale. This reaction may become even more important as we face concerns about global warming.…”

“…These equations, according to the authors, "reproduce the experimental results at 350 °C and 400 °C for various inlet gas compositions and contact times … sufficiently accurate[ly] at least for industrial purposes." [195] (3)…”
