3. Synthesis gas purification
3.1 Conversion of CO by steam
The conversion of carbon monoxide by steam is an important source of hydrogen, and therefore naturally belongs downstream of the reformer. This reaction accounts for around 15% of total hydrogen production.
The reaction involving the conversion of carbon monoxide by water vapour has been known and used for a very long time. Its simplicity and the absence of secondary reactions have led to the Water Gas Shift (WGS) reaction being considered:...
