Question

In the industrial preparation of Syngas via coal gasification at 1270 K, the initial mixture contains $CO$ and $H_2$. To maximize the yield of dihydrogen, the Water-Gas Shift reaction is employed. What specific catalyst and conditions are strictly required for this shift reaction?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

In the Water-Gas Shift reaction, the $CO$ from syngas is reacted with additional steam at 673 K over an Iron Chromate ($FeCrO_4$) catalyst to oxidize $CO$ into $CO_2$ and produce additional $H_2$.
