Abstract
The purpose of this project was to develop water gas shift catalysts that are more stable and active than the existing ones. Stable catalysts last longer and are more efficient, which is important to economics and to gain widespread application. Currently the demand for hydrogen as a fuel is low but in the future there is a high potential that hydrogen could be important in world energy. This project was performed by a group of undergraduate and graduate students from BYU. Most of the work in the project was performed by group members. The report focuses mainly on the tasks that are completed to develop the active catalyst, which includes designing the reactor, catalyst preparation, performing kinetic experiments and evaluation.
