摘要:
A method of operating a methanation reactor to reduce carbon monoxide concentration in a reformate stream in a fuel cell reformer. The reactor includes a flowpath with a noble metal catalyst supported by a ceramic support such that the reactor preferentially converts carbon monoxide via methanation over that of carbon dioxide. The reduced level of carbon monoxide present in the reformate stream after passing through the methanation reactor reduces the likelihood of poisoning of the catalyst used on the fuel cell anode.

A method of reducing an amount of carbon monoxide in process fuel gas in a water gas shift converter with no methane formation. The method includes placing a high activity water gas shift catalyst system into a water gas shift converter; and passing the process fuel gas through the water gas shift converter in effective contact with the high activity water gas shift catalyst system and converting a portion of the carbon monoxide in the process fuel gas into carbon dioxide and hydrogen by a water gas shift reaction with no methane formation at a temperature in a range of about 200° C. to about 425° C. The high activity water gas shift catalyst system can include a noble metal; a support consisting essentially of cerium oxide, or a mixed metal oxide of cerium oxide-zirconium oxide or cerium oxide-lanthanum oxide wherein cerium oxide is present in an amount ranging from about 80% to about 20% by weight of total metal oxide and wherein zirconium oxide or lanthanum oxide is present in an amount ranging from about 20% to about 80% by weight of total metal oxide; an anti-methanation agent comprising at least one compound selected from copper compounds, manganese compounds, iron compounds, or combinations thereof; and optionally a promoter comprising at least one metal selected from alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. Alternatively, the high activity water gas shift catalyst system can include a support consisting essentially of a mixed metal oxide of cerium oxide-copper oxide or zirconium oxide-copper oxide wherein cerium oxide or zirconium oxide is present in an amount ranging from about 80% to about 50% by weight of mixed metal oxide, and wherein copper oxide is present in an amount ranging from about 20% to about 50% by weight of mixed metal oxide; optionally a noble metal; and optionally a promoter comprising at least one metal selected from alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.
