Abstract
The possibility of bringing the actual temperature profile along the catalyst bed to the profile maximizing the CO conversion in the water gas shift (WGS) reaction in a tubular reactor is considered for new, highly efficient catalysts as heat-conducting composite plates (HCCPs). It is demonstrated by the example of a controlled-temperature-profile (CTP) tubular reactor integrated into an experimental model of a fuel cell of a 5-kW power plant that the efficiency of the WGS process can be raised by using the catalyst as HCCPs. Use of these catalysts in CTP apparatuses can markedly increase the efficiency of the WGS stage of natural gas reforming for ammonia synthesis, hydrogen production, and the production of fuel gas for fuel cells.
