چکیده

واکنش تبدیل آب-گاز به عنوان مرحله‌ای کلیدی در واحدهای صنعتی تولید هیدروژن به‌کارمی‌رود. در این پژوهش کاتالیست‌های Fe/Cr/Cu که در واکنش تبدیل آب-گاز دما بالا مورد استفاده قرار می‌گیرد، به منظور بهبود عملکرد به روش هم‌رسوبی و با پیش‌سازنده‌های سولفات ساخته شده‌اند و تمرکز اصلی بر تاثیر زمان پیرسازی بر فعالیت و مقاومت مکانیکی می‌باشد. کاتالیست‌های ساخته شده، تحت آزمون راکتوری (در دمای oC 360 و فشار 2 بار) و آزمون‌های تعیین مشخصات BET، XRD، TPR و سختی‌سنج قرص با نمونه‌های صنعتی مورد مقایسه قرار گرفتند. افزایش زمان پیرسازی، منجر به کاهش کلوخه شدن و سطح ویژه و افزایش مقاومت مکانیکی کاتالیست‌ها می‌گردد. کاتالیست‌های تهیه شده در زمان پیرسازی 180 و 270 دقیقه به ترتیب با میزان تبدیل %50/5 و %46/5 در انتهای واکنش و قدرت مکانیکی kg/pellet 4/46 و kg/pellet  4/53 نسبت به سایر نمونه‌ها و کاتالیست صنعتی، عملکرد مناسبی را نشان داده‌اند.

چکیده [English]

Water-gas shift reaction is performed as the key step in the hydrogen industrial plant. In this work, Fe/Cr/Cu high temperature water gas shift catalysts were synthesized by co-precipitation method, using sulfate precursors, in order to improve the catalytic performance and particular emphasis is placed on the mechanical strength and catalytic activity affected by aging time. The prepared and industrial catalysts were compared when they were situated in the operating conditions (at 360oC and 2 bar) and were characterized by BET, XRD, TPR and crushing strength analysis. Increasing the aging time leads to decrease the sintering and specific surface area and increase the mechanical strength of the catalysts. The catalysts prepared with 180 and 270 minutes aging time were shown, 50.5% and 46.5% conversion and 4.46 kg/pellet and 4.53 kg/pellet mechanical strength respectively, that have appropriate performance in comparison with other prepared samples and commercial catalyst.
