Explain water-gas shift reaction in detail.
Open in App
Solution
The reaction between CO of syngas and steam in presence of catalyst is called water gas shift reaction.
CO(g)+H2O(g)673K−−−−−→CatalystCO2(g)+H2(g)
This reaction increases the yield of hydrogen obtained from coal gasification reaction as shown below.
C(s)+H2O(g)→CO(g)+H2(g)
CO(g)+H2O(g)673K−−−−−→CatalystCO2(g)+H2(g)
This reaction increases the yield of hydrogen obtained from coal gasification reaction as shown below.
C(s)+H2O(g)→CO(g)+H2(g)
