Description

Hochaktive Konvertierungskatalysatoren Beschreibung Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen hochaktiven Wassergaskonvertierungskataly- sator und ein Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung, sowie ein Verfahren zur Konvertierung eines mindestens Kohlenmonoxid und Wasser enthaltenden Gasgemisches zu Wasserstoff und Kohlendioxid in einem breiten Temperaturbereich unter Verwendung dieses Katalysators.  The present invention relates to a highly active water gas conversion catalyst and a process for its preparation, and to a process for converting a gas mixture containing at least carbon monoxide and water into hydrogen and carbon dioxide over a wide temperature range using this catalyst.
In einer Brennstoffzelle wird elektrische Energie durch chemische Reaktion gewonnen. Die meisten Brennstoffzellen nutzen dabei die Reaktion zwischen einem reduzierenden und einem oxidierenden Strom aus, meist Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff. Um einen Brennstoff in einer Brennstoffzelle nutzbar zu machen, muss dieser zuvor in einen wasserstoffreichen Strom umgewandelt werden. In a fuel cell, electrical energy is gained by chemical reaction. Most fuel cells use the reaction between a reducing and an oxidizing current, usually hydrogen and oxygen. In order to harness a fuel in a fuel cell, it must first be converted into a hydrogen-rich stream.
Die Aufbereitung von Brennstoffen erfolgt dabei oft in drei Schritten: The treatment of fuels often takes place in three steps:
Zunächst wird der Brennstoff reformiert und so zu CO und H2 aufgespalten. Es folgt eine Stufe der Wassergaskonvertierung, in der das gebildete CO mit Wasser in einem temperaturabhängigen Gleichgewicht zu C02 und H2 umgewandelt wird: First, the fuel is reformed and split into CO and H 2 . This is followed by a water-gas conversion stage in which the CO formed is converted with water in a temperature-dependent equilibrium to C0 2 and H 2 :
CO + H20 -> C02 + H2 Dieses Gleichgewicht liegt umso mehr auf der Seite von H2 und C02, je tiefer die Temperatur ist. Meist folgt eine CO-Feinreinigungsstufe. CO + H 2 0 -> C0 2 + H 2 This equilibrium is all the more on the side of H 2 and C0 2 , the lower the temperature is. Mostly followed by a CO fine cleaning stage.
Hohe Konzentrationen (größer als 50 ppm) an CO schädigen die Anodenelektrode der Brennstoffzelle. Daher muss vor der eigentlichen Zelle der CO-Gehalt minimiert wer- den. Dies geschieht zum einen in der Wassergaskonvertierungsstufe, zum anderen in der CO-Feinreinigungsstufe. Die Wassergaskonvertierungsstufe kommt dabei üblicherweise in zwei Temperaturstufen vor. Bei Temperaturen zwischen 150 °C und 280 °C wird von einer Tieftemperaturkonvertierung (TTK) gesprochen. Die TTK erfolgt zumeist katalytisch unter Verwendung von Cu/Zn-Oxid-Katalysatoren. Zwischen 280 °C und 550 °C wird von einer Hochtemperaturkonvertierung (HTK) gesprochen. Traditionell wird diese an Fe/Cr-Katalysatoren durchgeführt. Auch an Mo, Ni und weiteren Elementen kann diese Reaktion katalysiert werden. Edelmetalle auf Ceroxiden wurden ebenfalls mehrfach als Katalysatoren für diese Reaktion beschrieben. Die Konvertierungsreaktion führt nicht nur zu einer Entfernung des Katalysatorgiftes CO, sie erhöht auch den Anteil am Wertprodukt H2 im Brennstoff ström. Wichtig ist daher, dass ein Katalysator für die HTK neben der Produktion von H2 aus CO und H20 nicht Reaktionen katalysiert, die zu einer Vernichtung oder Abreicherung des Wertpro- duktes H2 führen. Dazu zählt vor allem die Methanisierung, die an Nickelkatalysatoren bei hohen Temperaturen, an Edelmetallkatalysatoren bereits bei Temperaturen oberhalb von 350 °C beobachtet werden kann. Hierbei liegen zwei Reaktionswege vor: High concentrations (greater than 50 ppm) of CO damage the anode electrode of the fuel cell. Therefore, the CO content must be minimized before the actual cell. This happens on the one hand in the Wassergaskonvertierungsstufe, on the other hand in the CO fine cleaning stage. The water gas conversion stage usually occurs in two temperature stages. At temperatures between 150 ° C and 280 ° C is referred to a low temperature conversion (TTK). The TTK is mostly catalytically using Cu / Zn oxide catalysts. Between 280 ° C and 550 ° C is referred to a high-temperature conversion (HTK). Traditionally, this is done on Fe / Cr catalysts. Also on Mo, Ni and other elements, this reaction can be catalyzed. Precious metals on cerium oxides have also been described several times as catalysts for this reaction. The conversion reaction not only leads to a removal of the catalyst poison CO, it also increases the proportion of the desired product H 2 in the fuel Ström. It is therefore important that a catalyst for the HTK not only catalyzes reactions in addition to the production of H 2 from CO and H 2 O, which leads to destruction or depletion of the value product H 2 . These include above all the methanation, which can be observed at nickel catalysts at high temperatures, at noble metal catalysts already at temperatures above 350 ° C. There are two reaction pathways here:
CO + 3 H2 -> CH4 + H20 CO + 3 H 2 -> CH 4 + H 2 O
C02 + 4 H2 -> CH4 + 2 H20 C0 2 + 4 H 2 -> CH 4 + 2 H 2 0
Beide Reaktionen konsumieren das Wertprodukt H2 und mindern demnach die Wasserstoffausbeute. Verfahren und Katalysatoren, die eine möglichst hohe Ausbeute an Wasserstoff und eine möglichst geringe Methanisierungsneigung aufweisen, sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. Both reactions consume the valuable product H 2 and thus reduce the hydrogen yield. Methods and catalysts which have the highest possible yield of hydrogen and the lowest possible tendency to methanation are known from the prior art.

Suitable metal oxides are, for example, cerium oxide, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, manganese oxide or zinc oxide. Suitable metal particles are, for example, gold or platinum and are present in an amount of from 0.5 to 25% by weight with respect to the oxidic material.

Der dazu eingesetzte Katalysator weist einen Träger aus Metall- oxid, eine Platin-Komponente und ein Alkalimetall, aufgebracht auf diesen Träger, auf. Gemäß dieser Schrift sind beispielsweise Zirkoniumdioxid, Titandioxid, Aluminiumoxid, Siliziumdioxid, Siliziumdioxid-Aluminiumoxid, Zeolithe oder Ceroxid als Trägermaterial geeignet. Es bestand demnach die Aufgabe, einen aktiven Katalysator zu finden, der über ein breites Temperaturfenster einsetzbar ist und hierbei wenig Methan bildet. Der Katalysator sollte einen möglichst geringen Edelmetalleintrag aufweisen. US 2005/0191224 A1 discloses a catalyst for separating carbon monoxide from hydrogen gas. The catalyst used for this purpose has a support of metal oxide, a platinum component and an alkali metal, applied to this support. According to this document, for example, zirconia, titania, alumina, silica, silica-alumina, zeolites or ceria are suitable as the carrier material. It was therefore the task of finding an active catalyst which can be used over a wide temperature window and in this case forms little methane. The catalyst should have the lowest possible noble metal entry.
Edelmetallhaltige Katalysatoren werden entweder durch Tränkung eines ausgeformten Trägermaterials mit Metallsalzlösungen der Edelmetallkomponente hergestellt oder durch Tränkung des Trägerpulvers und anschließender Ausformung. Die Aufgabe der Erfindung bestand deshalb weiter darin, ein Verfahren bereitzustellen, bei dem möglichst wenig Edelmetallkomponente an für die Reaktion unzugänglichen Stellen deponiert wird. Noble metal-containing catalysts are prepared either by impregnation of a shaped carrier material with metal salt solutions of the noble metal component or by impregnation of the carrier powder and subsequent shaping. The object of the invention was therefore further to provide a method in which the least possible precious metal component is deposited at inaccessible to the reaction points.
Die Aufgaben werden erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen Katalysator, enthaltend wenigstens ein Edelmetall in einer Menge von 0,001 bis 1 ,10 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das Gesamtgewicht des Katalysators, wenigstens ein Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetall und wenigstens ein Dotierungsmittel ausgewählt aus der Gruppe bestehend aus Fe, Cr, Cu, Zn und Mischungen davon, auf einem Trägermaterial.

Die Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung sind den Ansprüchen, der Beschreibung und den Beispielen zu entnehmen. Es versteht sich, dass die vorstehend genannten und die nachstehend noch zu erläuternden Merkmale des erfindungsgemäßen Gegenstandes nicht nur in den jeweils angegebenen Kombinationen, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen verwendbar sind, ohne den Rahmen der Erfindung zu verlassen. The embodiments of the present invention can be taken from the claims, the description and the examples. It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained of the article according to the invention can be used not only in the respective combinations indicated, but also in other combinations, without departing from the scope of the invention.
Es wurde überraschend gefunden, dass bei Einsatz eines geträgerten Edelmetallkatalysators, der wenigstens ein Edelmetall in einer Menge von 0,001 bis 1 ,10 Gew.-%, bezogen auf das Gesamtgewicht des Katalysators, wenigstens ein Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetall und wenigstens ein Dotierungsmittel ausgewählt aus der Gruppe bestehend aus Fe, Cr, Cu, Zn und Mischungen davon, auf einem Trägermaterial aufweist, die Wassergaskonvertierung in einem breiten Temperaturbereich erfolgreich durchgeführt werden kann, wobei, insbesondere bei höheren Temperaturen, wie sie bei der HTK auftreten, die unerwünschte Methanisierung unterdrückt wird. Gerade die Merkmalskombination des erfindungsgemäßen Katalysators ergibt die genannten Vorteile. It has surprisingly been found that when using a supported noble metal catalyst containing at least one noble metal in an amount of 0.001 to 1, 10 wt .-%, based on the total weight of the catalyst, at least one alkali and / or alkaline earth metal and at least one doping agent selected from the group consisting of Fe, Cr, Cu, Zn and mixtures thereof, on a carrier material, the water gas conversion can be carried out successfully in a wide temperature range, wherein, especially at higher temperatures, as they occur in the HTK, suppresses the undesirable methanation becomes. Especially the feature combination of the catalyst according to the invention gives the advantages mentioned.
Bekannt ist, dass in einem edelmetallhaltigen Shiftkatalysator durch einen Zusatz von beispielsweise Natrium eine Erhöhung der Shiftaktivität bei verstärkter Methanisierungsneigung bewirkt wird. Durch Zusatz von beispielsweise Eisen wird eine Verringerung der Shiftaktivität bei verringerter Methanisierungsneigung erreicht. Daraus resultiert, dass zwischen Einsatz von beispielsweise Eisen und Alkalimetall ein Optimum gefunden werden muss, bei dem sowohl eine ausreichende Shiftaktivität vorhanden ist, als auch die Methanisierungsneigung ausreichend stark unterdrückt wird. It is known that in a noble metal-containing shift catalyst by an addition of, for example, sodium an increase in the shift activity is effected with increased methanation tendency. By adding iron, for example, a reduction in the shift activity is achieved with a reduced tendency to methanation. As a result, an optimum must be found between the use of, for example, iron and alkali metal, in which both a sufficient shift activity is present, and the Methanisierungsneigung is sufficiently suppressed.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung den erfindungsgemäßen Katalysator, wobei das wenigstens eine Edelmetall, insbesondere Pt, in einer Menge von 0,001 bis 1 ,10 Gew.-%, bevorzugt 0,01 bis 1 ,00 Gew.-%, besonders bevorzugt 0,1 bis 0,99 Gew.-%, beispielsweise 0,1 bis 0,96 Gew.-%, das wenigstens eine Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetall, insbesondere Na oder K, in einer Menge von 1 ,2 bis 4,0 Gew.-%, bevorzugt 1 ,8 bis 3,5 Gew.-%, besonders bevorzugt 2,0 bis 3,2 Gew.-%, und das wenigstens eine Dotierungsmittel, insbesondere Fe, in einer Menge von 0,05 bis 2,5 Gew.-%, besonders bevorzugt 0,1 bis 1 ,5 Gew.-%, jeweils bezogen auf das Gesamtgewicht des Katalysators, vorliegt, und das Trägermaterial mindestens Ce und/oder Zr enthält. Ganz besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung enthaltend spezifische Kombinationen von Edelmetall, Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetall, Dotierungsmittel und Trägermaterial sind in den Beispielen offenbart. In a further preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to the catalyst according to the invention, wherein the at least one noble metal, in particular Pt, in an amount of 0.001 to 1, 10 wt .-%, preferably 0.01 to 1, 00 wt .-%, especially preferably 0.1 to 0.99 wt .-%, for example 0.1 to 0.96 wt .-%, the at least one alkali and / or alkaline earth metal, in particular Na or K, in an amount of 1, 2 to 4 , 0 wt .-%, preferably 1, 8 to 3.5 wt .-%, particularly preferably 2.0 to 3.2 wt .-%, and the at least one dopant, in particular Fe, in an amount of 0.05 to 2.5 wt .-%, particularly preferably 0.1 to 1, 5 wt .-%, each based on the total weight of the catalyst, is present, and the carrier material contains at least Ce and / or Zr. Very particularly preferred embodiments of the present invention containing specific combinations of noble metal, alkali metal and / or alkaline earth metal, dopants and support material are disclosed in the examples.
Gerade die erfindungsgemäße Kombination von Edelmetall, Alkali- und/oder Erdalka- limetall, Dotierungsmittel und Trägermaterial, insbesondere in Kombination mit den genannten Mengen ergeben einen Katalysator, der, eingesetzt in einer Shiftreaktion, eine sehr hohe Reaktivität, verbunden mit einer sehr hohen Effizienz, zeigt. Die hohe Reaktivität der erfindungsgemäßen Katalysatoren kann beispielsweise dadurch gezeigt werden, dass die genannte Shiftreaktion schon bei einer relativ niedrigen Temperatur mit nahezu vollständigem thermodynamisch möglichem Umsatz stattfindet. Des Weiteren kann die besonders hohe Effizienz des erfindungsgemäßen Katalysators dadurch gezeigt werden, dass der Katalysator bei der Shiftreaktion nur wenig zur Methanisierung neigt, d. h., dass nur ein geringer Anteil des gebildeten Wasserstoffs durch Bildung von Methan umgesetzt wird. Especially the combination according to the invention of noble metal, alkali metal and / or alkaline earth metal, doping agent and carrier material, in particular in combination with the stated amounts, gives a catalyst which, used in a shift reaction, has a very high reactivity, combined with a very high efficiency, shows. The high reactivity of the catalysts according to the invention can be demonstrated, for example, by the fact that said shift reaction takes place even at a relatively low temperature with almost complete thermodynamically possible conversion. Furthermore, the particularly high efficiency of the catalyst according to the invention can be demonstrated by the fact that the catalyst in the shift reaction has little tendency to methanation, ie. h., That only a small proportion of the hydrogen formed is converted by the formation of methane.
Es versteht sich, dass die vorstehend genannten und nachstehend noch angegebenen Merkmale des Katalysators nicht nur in den angegebenen Kombinationen und Wertebereichen, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen und Wertebereichen in den Grenzen des Hauptanspruchs verwendbar sind, ohne den Rahmen der Erfindung zu verlas- sen. Der erfindungsgemäße Katalysator kann durch Auftränken der einzelnen Komponenten auf das Trägermaterial hergestellt werden. In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Herstellungsvariante werden die Aktivkomponenten auf pulverförmiges Trägermaterial aufgebracht, das danach mindestens zum Teil verknetet und extrudiert wird. Möglich ist auch, dass man die Herstellungsvarianten miteinander kombiniert und beispielsweise nur einen Teil der Aktivkomponenten auf dem pulverförmigem Trägermaterial aufbringt und damit verknetet und extrudiert und die übrigen Aktivkomponenten bzw. deren restliche Teilmengen danach aufgetränkt werden. It is understood that the above-mentioned and below-mentioned features of the catalyst can be used not only in the specified combinations and value ranges, but also in other combinations and value ranges within the limits of the main claim, without leaving the scope of the invention. The catalyst according to the invention can be prepared by impregnating the individual components onto the support material. In a further advantageous production variant, the active components are applied to powdered carrier material, which is then at least partially kneaded and extruded. It is also possible that one combines the production variants with each other and, for example, only a part of the active components applied to the powdered carrier material and thus kneaded and extruded and the remaining active components or their remaining subsets are then impregnated.
Die Aktivkomponenten werden dabei vorzugsweise in Form ihrer Salze oder ihrer Oxide eingesetzt. Erfindungsgemäß geeignete Salze sind beispielsweise Oxide, Nitrate, Hydroxide, Acetate, Acetylacetonate, Carbonate, Nitrosylnitrate oder Halogenide, wie Fluoride, Chloride, Bromide und lodide. The active components are preferably used in the form of their salts or their oxides. Suitable salts according to the invention are, for example, oxides, nitrates, hydroxides, acetates, acetylacetonates, carbonates, nitrosyl nitrates or halides, such as fluorides, chlorides, bromides and iodides.
Um eine gute Zugänglichkeit des Edelmetalls zu gewährleisten, werden die Komponenten in einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform auf dem Trägermaterial aufgetränkt. Da aufgrund von einzuhaltenden Bedingungen, wie beispielsweise pH-Wert, Konzentrationen usw., zumeist verschiedene Metallsalze nicht parallel aufgetränkt werden können, erfolgt die Herstellung eines Katalysators mit verschiedenen Promotoren oft aber nicht ausschließlich in einer Vielzahl von Tränkschritten, beispielsweise zwei Tränkschritten, die nacheinander ausgeführt werden. In order to ensure good accessibility of the noble metal, the components are in an advantageous embodiment soaked in the carrier material. Since due to conditions to be observed, such as pH, concentrations, etc., usually different metal salts can not be impregnated in parallel, the preparation of a catalyst with different promoters is often but not exclusively in a variety of impregnation steps, for example, two steps of impregnation, carried out sequentially become.
Das Aufbringen der Aktivkomponenten durch Tränken auf das Trägermaterial kann auf übliche Art und Weise erfolgen, wie z. B. als Washcoat auf einen Monolithen. The application of the active components by impregnation on the carrier material can be carried out in the usual manner, such. B. as a washcoat on a monolith.
Wird gemäß der weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsformen das Aktivmaterial zunächst auf dem Trägermaterial, vorzugsweise pulverförmigem Trägermaterial, mindestens zum Teil aufgebracht und dann verknetet sowie anschließendem Extrudieren, kann das Verkneten und Extrudieren des Trägermaterials mit den Aktivmassen auf übliche Art und Weise mit bekannten Apparaturen erfolgen. If, according to the further advantageous embodiments, the active material is first applied at least in part to the carrier material, preferably powdered carrier material, and then kneaded and then extruded, the kneading and extrusion of the carrier material with the active materials can be carried out in the usual manner with known apparatuses.
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft daher insbesondere ein Verfahren zur Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Katalysators, wobei das wenigstens eine Edelmetall, das we- nigstens eine Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetall, und das wenigstens eine Dotierungsmittel als Lösung oder Dispersion auf das Trägermaterial aufgebracht werden oder ein Teil oder das Gesamte des wenigstens einen Edelmetalls, des wenigstens einen Alkali- und/oder Erdalkalimetalls und/oder des wenigstens einen Dotierungsmitteln auf ein Trägermaterial als Lösung oder Dispersion aufgebracht werden und dieses Trägermaterial mit dem verbleibenden Teil der Komponenten vermischt wird. The present invention therefore relates in particular to a process for the preparation of the catalyst according to the invention, wherein the at least one noble metal, at least one alkali and / or alkaline earth metal, and the at least one dopant are applied to the support material as a solution or dispersion or a part or all of the at least one noble metal, the at least one alkali and / or alkaline earth metal and / or the at least one doping agent are applied to a carrier material as a solution or dispersion and this carrier material is mixed with the remaining part of the components.
Entgegen der Annahme, dass bei einem direkt verkneteten Katalysator auf Grund der homogenen Verteilung der Aktivkomponenten über das gesamte Volumen der Katalysatorteilchen die relative Aktivität verglichen mit einem durch Tränkung hergestellten Katalysator mir gleicher Aktivitätsmasse geringer sein sollte, wird nach vorliegender Erfindung eine ähnliche Aktivität gefunden. Contrary to the assumption that in a direct kneaded catalyst, due to the homogeneous distribution of the active components over the entire volume of the catalyst particles, the relative activity should be lower compared to a catalyst prepared by impregnation with the same activity mass, a similar activity is found in the present invention.
Die Herstellung von Formkörpern aus pulverförmigen Rohstoffen kann durch übliche, dem Fachmann bekannte Methoden, wie beispielsweise Tablettierung, Aggregation oder Extrusion erfolgen, wie sie u.a. im Handbook of Heterogeneous Catalysis, Vol. 1 , VCH Verlagsgesellschaft Weinheim, 1997, S. 414-417 beschrieben sind, erfolgen. The production of moldings from pulverulent raw materials can be carried out by customary methods known to the person skilled in the art, such as, for example, tableting, aggregation or extrusion, as described i.a. in the Handbook of Heterogenous Catalysis, Vol. 1, VCH Verlagsgesellschaft Weinheim, 1997, pp. 414-417.
Bei der Verformung bzw. dem Aufbringen können dem Fachmann bekannte Hilfsstoffe, wie Binder, Schmiermittel und/oder Lösungsmittel, zugesetzt werden. In the case of deformation or application, auxiliaries known to the person skilled in the art, such as binders, lubricants and / or solvents, may be added.
Die beschriebenen Herstellungsverfahren sind einfach und kostengünstig. Der erfin- dungsgemäße Katalysator ist hochaktiv hinsichtlich der Shiftreaktion, unterdrückt aber die Methanisierungsreaktion, beispielsweise wird durch den erfindungsgemäßen Katalysator ein Methangehalt von kleiner 100 ppm, vorzugsweise kleiner 50 ppm (jeweils bei 350°C) und kleiner 500 ppm, vorzugsweise kleiner 300 ppm, (jeweils bei 450°C) erreicht. The described production methods are simple and inexpensive. The inventive catalyst is highly active with respect to the shift reaction, but suppresses the methanation reaction, for example by the catalyst according to the invention a methane content of less than 100 ppm, preferably less than 50 ppm (each at 350 ° C) and less than 500 ppm, preferably less than 300 ppm, (each at 450 ° C) reached.
Der beschriebene Katalysator ist in dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zur Konvertierung eines Gasgemisches, enthaltend mindestens Kohlenmonoxid und Wasser, zu Wasserstoff und Kohlendioxid, einsetzbar. Das Verfahren kann dabei bei den üblichen Bedingungen einer Konvertierungsreaktion durchgeführt werden, sowohl im TTK-Bereich bei Temperaturen von üblicherweise 150 - 280 °C, als auch im HTK-Bereich bei Temperaturen von üblicherweise 280 - 550 °C. Auf Grund der niedrigen Methanisierungsneigung des erfindungsgemäßen Katalysators auch bei hohen Temperaturen, empfiehlt sich dieser insbesondere für die HTK, bei der bisherige Katalysatoren des Standes der Technik ungeeignet sind. Ganz besonders erfolgreich läuft die erfindungsgemäße Konvertierungsreaktion in einem Temperaturbereich von 180 bis 550 °C. Es ist somit möglich und vorteilhaft, sowohl in der Stufe der HTK als auch in der Stufe der TTK den erfindungsgemäßen Katalysator einzusetzen. The catalyst described can be used in the process according to the invention for the conversion of a gas mixture containing at least carbon monoxide and water to hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The process can be carried out under the usual conditions of a conversion reaction, both in the TTK range at temperatures of usually 150-280 ° C., and in the HTK range at temperatures of usually 280-550 ° C. Due to the low tendency of methanation of the catalyst according to the invention even at high temperatures, this is particularly recommended for the HTK, are unsuitable in the previous catalysts of the prior art. Especially successful is the conversion reaction according to the invention in a temperature range of 180 to 550 ° C. It is thus possible and advantageous, both in the stage the HTK and in the stage of TTK use the catalyst of the invention.
Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Katalysator ist auch eine Reduzierung auf nur eine Kon- vertierungsstufe möglich, die dann bei mittlerer Temperatur, beispielsweise von 230 °C bis 450 °C, durchgeführt werden kann, da die hohe Aktivierung des Katalysators bei niedriger Temperatur noch immer gute Umsätze erlaubt. With the catalyst according to the invention, a reduction to only one conversion stage is possible, which can then be carried out at medium temperature, for example from 230 ° C. to 450 ° C., since the high activation of the catalyst at low temperature still allows good conversions ,
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Reduzierung von Kohlenmonoxid (CO) durch den Prozess einer Konvertierungsreaktion an dem erfindungsgemäßen hochaktiven Konvertierungskatalysator erfolgt in üblichen Apparaturen und unter üblichen Bedingungen zur Durchführung einer Konvertierungsreaktion, wie sie beispielsweise im Handbook of heterogeneous catalysis, 2nd edition, Vol. 1 , VCH Verlagsgesellschaft Weinheim, 2008, Seiten 354-355, beschrieben sind, und unter Überströmen des Kata- lysators mit einem CO und wasserhaltigen Prozessgas. The process according to the invention for reducing carbon monoxide (CO) by the process of a conversion reaction on the highly active conversion catalyst according to the invention is carried out in customary apparatuses and under customary conditions for carrying out a conversion reaction, as described, for example, in the Handbook of heterogeneous catalysis, 2nd edition, Vol. 1, VCH Verlagsgesellschaft Weinheim, 2008, pages 354-355, and with overflow of the catalyst with a CO and water-containing process gas.
Das eingesetzte Prozessgas ist ein Gasgemisch, das neben Kohlenmonoxid und Wasser, die in der beschriebenen Konvertierungsreaktion umgesetzt werden, üblicherweise auch weitere Gase, wie z. B. Wasserstoff, Kohlendioxid und Stickstoff, enthält. The process gas used is a gas mixture, in addition to carbon monoxide and water, which are reacted in the conversion reaction described, usually also other gases such. As hydrogen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft daher auch die Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Katalysators die Konvertierung von Kohlenmonoxid und Wasser zu Kohlendioxid und Wasserstoff. The present invention therefore also relates to the use of the catalyst according to the invention, the conversion of carbon monoxide and water to carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
Des Weiteren betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Konvertierung eines Gasgemisches, enthaltend wenigstens Kohlenmonoxid und Wasser, zu Kohlendioxid und Wasserstoff, wobei ein erfindungsgemäßer Katalysator eingesetzt wird. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a process for the conversion of a gas mixture containing at least carbon monoxide and water, to carbon dioxide and hydrogen, wherein a catalyst according to the invention is used.
