Water gas shift reaction in Pd-based membrane reactors

Water-gas shift reaction is an important industrial reaction, used for producing synthesis gas and ammonia as well as pure hydrogen for supplying at PEM fuel cells. In this work, an overview on water gas shift reaction performed in Pd-based membrane reactors is shown, paying particular attention to the influence on the performances of some operating variables such as reaction temperature, reaction pressure, H2O/CO molar ratio and sweep gas.
