Description
"METHOD FOR PREPARING WATER-GAS SHIFT CATALYSIS CATALYSTS AND METHOD FOR REDUCING CARBON MONOXIDE CONTENT"
Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing water gas shift catalysts, chromium-free, and a process for their use applied in hydrogen or synthesis gas production units, either by reforming steam, autothermal reforming, dry or gasification reforming, aiming to reduce the safety, environmental and health impacts related to the manufacturina, handling and disposal of used material.
Description of the State of the Art
[0002] The water gas shift reaction ("water gas shift' or just 'shift") is an integral step in the steam reforming process for hydrogen production_ The reaction can be represented by equation 1, being exothermic and typically I imited by thermodynamic equilibrium.
CO + 920 =CO: + H2 (eg.1) [0003] The reaction produces H2 and, simultaneously, reduces the level of 00, which is a contaminant for catalysts used in ammonia svnthesis, hydrotreatment processes and for use in fuel cells, which make use of high purity hydrogen, In synthesis gas generation processes, the "water gas shift" reaction is used to adjust the desired proportion of CO and H2" The 'water gas shift" reaction is also part of other 92 production processes, such as partial oxidation, autflthermR1 reforming and hydrocarbon gasification processes, including biomass, [0004] In the steam reforming process, the "water gas shift" reaction is conducted, in a typical configuration, in a first stage, called "High Temperature Shift" (HTS) whose catalyst operates at typical temperatures between 330 'C at the inlet and up to 450 'C at outlet of the reactor, followed by cooling the effluent stream and additional reaction, in a second stage, called "Low Temperature Shift" (LTS), whose catalyst operates at typical temperatures between 180 °C at the inlet to 240 °C at the outlet of the reactbr, in a variation of thp process configuration, the LTS reactor and the subsequent CO.:, separation system by amine are replaced by a "Pressure Swing Adsorption" (ESA) step. Pressure conditions in the "shift" stage are dictated by the use of hydrogen and are typically between 10 and 40 bar.
[0005] Commercial LTS catalysts consist of copper oxide, zinc oxide and alumina, with typical contents between 40 and 35% m/m; 27 to 44 %m/m with alumina. as balance, respectveiy. They may also contain minor amounts of alkaline promoters, such as cesium (Cs) or potassium (K). LTS catalysts quickly lose activity when exposed to high temperatures, which is why they are used in the typHca] temperature range of 180 niS. to 240 CC., or in its "Medium Temperature Shift" (MIS) version at temperatures from 180 'CC to 330 'C. The lower temperature of the use ranee is normally dictated by the requirement that steam condensation not occur in the reactor at the operating pressure of the unit.
[0006] The UPS catalyst industrially used in large units, here considered. units with production greater than 50,000 Nm3/d of hydrogen, consists of iron (Eel, chromium (Cr) and copper. (Cu), mostly in form of oxides, before the catalyst starts operating, and, after the start of operation, consisting of metallic copper and iron. and chromium oxides. Despite being widely used, the formulation of this catalyst has the disadvantage of containing chromium in its formulation, Particularly, during the calcination sterns to manufacture this catalyst, the formation of variable levels of chromium in oxidation state VI (Or01 or Cr44) is inevitable, a compound that has known carcinogenic effects and damage to the environment, being subaert tn an increasing rigor of legislation worldwide, As an example, the strict rules for workplace exnosure to Or6'-by OSHA (Us Occupation Health and Safety Organization) can be mentioned. The presence of Cr, therefore, has negative impacts on the manufacturing process, hendldng, transportation, loadThg, unloading and disposal of the material, Therefore, it is desirable to produce an HTS catalyst free of chromium in its formulation, [0007] A logical solution to producing a chromium-free catalyst is to simply eliminate it from the catalyst composition. However, the literature teaches that chromium pL)tyc: an essential role:n the formulation of the HIS catalyst, reducing the loss of surface area. of t.he iron oxide phases present in the catalyst at the unual temperatures, that is, between 330 c"C and 500 °C. Consequently, it reduces the deactivation rate of the material, allowing the catalyst to maintain good performance throughout the campaign period of the unit, typically lasting between 3 and 5 years, this function being known in the catalysis area as that of a. structural promoter, [0008] The literature reports several studies replace chromium, in HTS catalyst formulations with compositions based on iron, chromium and copper, In PAL, 0,5. et al, (2018) -Performehce of water gas shift reaction catalysts: A review", Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, volume paces 549 to 565 studies on the replacement of chromium with several, elements, such as cerium, silicon, titanium, magnesium, zirconium and aluminum oxides. However, in industrial practice, an efficient method of preparinu an HTS catalyst using a chromium substitute element that maintains high resistance properties to deactivation by exposure to high temperatures is not yet available.
[0009] A solution to aid the thermal stability of chromium:-free HTS catalysts would be to use them at low temperatures. However, it would be necessary to use an activity promoter, since the iron oxide phases are only active at typical temperatures of 320 °C to 330 C. Copper would be a candidate for activity promoter, since it has low cos-L, and is extensively. used in fTS catalysts, however, it suffers from problems of a relatively high rate of deactivation upon exposure to temperatures in the range of 250 °C to 350 °C. Other candidates would be noble metals, especially platinum, considering their greater availability and lower relative cost in relation to other noble metals.
[0010] There are several teachings on the use of platinum (Pt) in shift catalyst formulations. The patent. 7744849 teaches a catalyst for the water gas shift reaction comprising a platinum-based catalyst, with at least one alkaline earth metal and at least one third metal. Specifically, the catalyst in this patent comprises: a) Ft, -, at least one of Li, Na, K, Ph, Cs, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, oxides and mj.xture thereof, and c) at least one of Sc., 'Y', Ti, Zr, V, Mb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Fe, Co, It, Ni, Pd, La, Ce, Pr, Sm, E-oxides and mixtures thereof, and can he supported in one or in combination of aluminum, zirconium, titanium, cerium, magnesium, lanthanum, niobium, yttrium or iron oxides. Said catalyst can be used in compact hydrogen production equipment.
[0011] The patent application US 2012/0063989 discloses a catalyst for the version of CO into carbon dioxide (CC") throuoh a water gas shift reaction. The catalyst comprises a. noble metal between 0,001 and 1.10% at least one alkali.' or alkaline earth metal, at level between 1-0 and 4% m/m and at ieast one dopant consistinG of Fe, Cr, Cu, Zn or mixture thereof on a support material, containing Ce [0012] The batent 7824455 describes the application of a preoi otis metal cataj t of Pt, Pd or mixtures thereof, or mixtures Tr for the shift exchanhe reaction in the temperature range of 200 00 to 400 00" supported on a mixtu of Ce and Zr oxides, with Ce in the range of 20 to 58% or to SO% and Zr in the range of 42 to 20%, with, as promo, at. least one metal selected from yttrium, alkali metals or alkaline earth metals in the range 0,01 to 1%.
[0013] The patent application US 2019/0093251 discloses a catalyst consisting of iron and chromium oxides and containing platinum at levels between. 0.01 and 1,5% mim, Several other teachings on the use %, platinum in the formulation of shift catalysts can be found.
[0014] In the article by RATNASAMY, C.WAGNER, (2009) "Water Gas Shift Catalysis", Catalysis Reviews, volume 51, pages 325 to 440, they review the literature and teach the use of plati-na deposited on several oxides, such as zirbonium, vanadium, alumina and cerium oxides, [0015] An important point for the use of noble metals in TITS catalyst formulations is to seek to obtain the maximum possible activity of the metallic phase, since noble metals have a high cost, which may make the commercial use of these catalysts in large-capacity hydrogen production units unfeasible. The literature teaches the addition of alkali. metals in the formulation:, of "shift" catalysts containing Pt, as activity promoters. Beneficial results in CO conversion activity by the water gas shift reaction have been observed for sodium contents between 1 and 10% m/m in PteNa/T10.2 catalysts prepared by co-impreanation, as described in ZHU, N. et al. (2011) "Structural effects of Na promo-Lon for high water gas shift activity on Pt -Na/TiC"., Journal of Catalysis, volume 272, pages 123 to 132, and 1% sodium contents in prepared 91./Ce02 catalysts by dlltoresanation in =NG, D. W. at al. (2011) "The Effect of Sodium in Activity Enhancement of Nano-sized Pt/On02 Catalyst for Water Gas Shift Reaction at Low Temperature", Bulletin of Korean Chemical Society, volume 32, pages 3557 to 3558, In literature teachings, alkali metals are incorporated by additional specific and additional preparation steps and in levels typically above 1% m/m and using. oxides Still in relation to alkali metals, their effect on the thermal stability of the catalyst is not taught, nor is the effect of sodium content on the thermal stability of the catalyst reported.
[0016] The document US 7160533 claims a. catalyst containing Pt and Ru. The Ru phase is very active but woulo. present low selectivity. The catalyst formulation containing Ru and alkali metals seeks to moderate the methanaiion reaction. The catalyst is also prepared using the impregnation method, where the noble metals are deposited on a pre-tormed support.. The use of combinations of noble metals adds additional costs and is difficult to use for large-scale cata production, esoecall y when using noble metals with limited reserves.
[0017] Thus, although. there.;,-re r-merous references in the literature to the use of Pt in formulations of water gas shift catalysts, there remains a. need to provide a preparation method and a formiilation of a "High Temperature Shift' catalyst, free of chromium (Cr), which has high activit associated with excellent resistance to deactivation by exposure to high temperatures, with the lowest possible levels of P and with a practical, low-cost method and the incorporation c promoters to increase activity and resistance to deactivation by prolonged exposure to high temperatures, [0018] in order to solve such prof,' ms, the present inven Cron was developed, through which and copper-free catalyst formulation. was adopted, consistlimg of iron oxide containing platinum (Pt), sodium and optionally aluminum (Al) inserted into the crystal lattIce of an iron oxide with a hematite (ife203) c a' structure.
[0019] In a second aspect of the present invention, a method of reducing the CO content by the water gas shift reaction, using said catalyst, is disclosed.
[0020] The present invention contributes decisively to reducing nbc CO content effluent from the process, which increases energy efficiency and contributes operation of the PEA system. A more active HTS catalyst. has the estimated potential to contribute to reducing production. costs by around [0021] The elimination of 0hr:0:plum from the HTS catalyst formulation, especially in its carcinogenic form, minimizes risks during catalyst handling, loading and unloading steps.
[0022] The use of a more active HTS catalyst makes it possible to tolerate greater abnormalities in the steam. reforming process for hydrogen production, which could lead to increased pressure loss and/or formation of by-products in the reactor, causing risks of shutdowns unscheduled.
[0023] Furthermore, the use of a more active catalyst in the H2 production process allows for greater energy efficiency and thus contributes to reducing CO2 emissions, estimated at 10 t 002/t 1-12 in a traditional configuration. The 1:12 production process, together with the FCC process, are the two largest CO2 emitters from refining.
Brief. Description of the Invention
[0024] The present invention relates to HTS catalysts, chromium-free (Cr), containing Pt contents between 0.1 and 0.4% m/m, promoted by sodium (Na) with contents between 0.1 and 0.3% m/m, and optionally aluminum contents between 5.0 and 6.0% m/m in iron oxibe balance, which allows hiah activity to be reconciled with excellent resistance to deactivation du-to exposure to high temperatures.
[0025] In a. second aspect, the present invention provides a process for converting carbon monoxide from a synthesis gas stream using said catalyst and a vapor/gas ratio between 0,2 and 1.0 mol/mol, pressures between 10 and 40 atm and temperatures between 250 0C and 450 'CI, or preferably between 250 °C and 370 cc, where the maximum bed temperature can be limited by the injection of water or steam together with the CO-containing gas feed at the reactor [0026] The invention is applied. in hydrogen or synthesis gae production. hnits, whether through steam, autothermal reforming, dry or gasification reforming.

Detailed Description of the Invention
[0028] Broadly speaking, the present invention relates to catalysts applicable to the conversion of CO to CO2 and H2 by the water gas shift reaction. Such catalysts are made up of an iron oxide support with a crystalline structure identifiable by the X-ray diffraction technique as hematite, promoted by platinum (Pt) contents between 0.1 and 0.4% m/rn and with a content of sodium (Na) between 0,1 and 0.3% m/m, based on the oxidized material. Optionally, the catalyst contains aluminum with a content of 5,0 to 6.0% m/m, [0029] The catalysts thus constituted are prepared usina the method described in the following steps: 1) copreciitat ing an aqueous solution containing a soluble iron salt, preferably iron nitrate Fie (NO3) 3, 91420, a soluble platinum compound, preferably hexachloroplatinic acid (H2PtC1c...6H20), and optionally a soluble aluminum salt, preferably nitrate aluminum Al(NO2)?-9H20, with an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate, optionally, sodium hydroxide, maintan3ng the pH of the suspension between. 7,5 and. 8,0, under stirring, and at temperatures betlen 20 cC: and. :80 cO, preferably, between 50 °C and 70 °C, followed by aging the precipitate in this condition for 0.5 to 2.0 h; 2) filtrating the precipitate, followed by washing witn water or ethanol, until the residual sodium content ot the product is 0.1 to 0.3% m/m; 3) drying the precipitate obtained, at temperatures between 60 'cl', end 150 'C., for 1 to 6 h, followed by calcinating between 300 'C and 400 °C., for 1 to 5 h; 4) formatting the material obtaining catalyst tablets with typical dimensions between 0.3 and 0.7 cm in diameter and 0.5 to 1,0 cm in length and then calcinaLing at temperatures between 300 cO and 150 'C to obtain. a hematite promoted with platinum and sodium and, optionally, with aluminum inserted into the crystalline structure of the iron oxide, so that the platinum content is between 0.1 and 0.4% m/m, the sodium content between 0. 1 and 0,3% m/m and, optionally, aluminum content between 5.0 and 6.0% m/m in iron oxide balance with hematite structure and a specific surface area greater than 50 mqg.
[0030] The material can be shaped into cylindrical shapes with a hole in the middle or cylinders with a wavy outer surface.
[0031] The catalysts thus prepared. avoid additional sodium incorporation. steps. The presence of sodium controlled levels, surprisingly, allows to obtain a high CO conversion activity while maintaining a. high resistance to deactivation. by exposure to high temperatures, as widely demonstrated in the examples, Very low sodium contents in the final product produce a catalyst with lower activity and very high sodium contents produce a catalyst with low resistance to deactivation by prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
[0032] The catRlyst containing aluminum inserted into the hematite crystalline stricture shows a change in the unit cell parameter toyalues between 0.5005 and 0,5010 nn, as measured by the X-ray diffraction technique. Aluminium provides greater catalyst activity. allowing the reduction of Pt levels required in the final product, [0033] The catalysts thus prepared are in the form hematite promoted by platinum and sodium and optionally aluminum, being activated by a reduction procedure to transform the hematite phase (re2( 3) into the magnetite phase (F.e304). The procedure is well established in the industry and consists of passing a gas containing H2 or CO and water vapor, with a vapor/a ratio typically between 2 and 6 mol/mol, at temperatures between 250 3C and 400 °C, during a period of Ito 3 h. [0034] The catalysts us prepared anc activated can be used in the conversion reaction of CO with water vapor to produce hydrogen, reactor inlet temperatures between 2.50°C and 350 °C, preferably at temperatures between. 280 °C and 300 'C. Optionally, it may be auvantageous, reduce the CO content and increase the useful i'fe of the catalyst in accordance with the present invention, to maintain maximum temperature throughout the reactor at 370 ch3 injecting steam or condensate at the reactor inlet or at multiple points along the bed. The operating pressure in the reactor can be in the range of 10 to 40, preferably between 20 and 30 kgf/cial2. The steam/dry gas molar ratio at. the reactor inlet is 0.2 to 1.0 molimol, preferably between 0.3 and 0,8 mcl/mol. The dry gas at the reactor inlet typically contains CO contents between hand 30% preferably between 8 and 20% v/v.
Examples
[0035] The examples shown below aim to illustrate some ways of implementing the invention, as well as proving the practical feasibility of its application, without constituting any form of limitation of the Invention.
EXAMPLE 1:
(0036] This comparative example illustrates that the presence of sodium, is harmful co a catalyst made up of. iron oxides. A 1.0 M aqueous solution of iron nitrate (Fe(NO2.)3.9H2C0 and a second 1.5 M agpeous solution of sodium carbonate (1,1,a--.,CO3) were added simultaneously for 1 h under stirring, maintaining ne temperature between 45 °C and 50 'C and pH between 7.5 and B.O. After the end of precipitation, suspension was maintained at the previous conditions of temperature, ph and agitation for another 1 h to age the precipitate. The precipitate was then filtered and separated. into several parts to be washed with different amounts of water in order to obtain different levels of residual sodium in the product.
[0037] The monitoring parameter of the washing step was the conductivity of the washing water. The washed material was then dried at 100 °C for 5 h and calcined at 450 00 for 2 h to obtain a catalyst identified as IFE)-1; where yNa is the sodium (Na) content in the product in oxidized form.
[0038] The crystalline phases in the samples were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), using the Rigaku Miniflex II diffractometer, with a Cu tube and monochromator, with a speed of 20 /min and angle variation from 5' to 900. The catalyst has an X-ray diffraction profile corresponding to the presence of hematite. Textural analysis (BET) was conducted by nitrogen adsorption to determine specific area on Micromeritics ASAP 2400 equipment. For determinations, samples were previously treated at 300 00 in vacuum. The composition analysis was carried out by X-ray Fluorescence (XRE) on the PANfliytioal MaqiX PRO equipment equipped with a 4 kW Rh tube.
[0039] The activity of the catalysts in the water gas shift reaction was measured in a fixed bed reactor and at atmospheric pressure, in commercial. equipment (AutoChem Micromeritcs). The sample Was initially. heated in an argon flow to 100 °C and then to 350 °C, at a rate of Se /min, in a flow of 5% 112 margon saturated with water vapor at 73 °C. After this pre-treatment, the gas mixture was replaced by a tune containing 10% 00, 10% v/v CO2, 2% methane in H2 balance, maintaining the saturator tempera ture with water. at 73 00 corresponding to a steam/gas ratio of 0.55 mol/mol. reaction was conducted at or Ffprer.t temperatures with the reactor effluent being analyzed by gas. cnromatography. The activity or the catalysts was expressed as CO conversion (tv/v).
[0040] The results shown in Table I and Figure 1 allow to conclude that, to obtain a high activity of the catalyst consisting of iron oxide., it is necessary to reduce the residual. sodium content to values below 0.02% m/m. Thus, the effect of sodium on the performance of the catalyst depends on its concentration, and its complete elimination is desirable when the catalyst consists only of iron oxides.

[0041] This example in accordance with the present invention illustre.tes the method of prepaying the hematite-based catalyst promoted by platinum and sodium, at low levels. Ti 1.0 M aqueous solution of iron nitrate (Fe(NO3)3,9H20) containing a platinum compound soluble in water or polar solvents such as, but not restricted to, (NOH (CAS g-2PtC.15.xH20 (CAS 26023-84-7), PtC.U, (CAP 13454-Wiid2PtC14 (CAS 13820-41-2) and (NH4)2FtC16 (CAS 16919-58-7) and a second 1.5 M aqueous solution of sodium carbonate (Na2003), were added simultaneously. for 1 h, under stirring, maintaining the temperature between 45 °C and 50 'C and the Oil between 7.5 and 8.0. After the end of precipitation, the suspension was maintained at the previous conditions of temperature, pH and agitation for another I h to age the precipitate. The precipitate was thi,T, filtered and separated into several parts to be washed with different amounts of water in order to obtain different levels of residual sodium ifl. the product.
[0042] Monitoring the conductivity of the washing water allowed, in a. simple way, to obtain different sodium (Na) contents in the final product (Figure 3). The washed material was then dried at 100 °C for 5 In and calcined at 400 'C for. 2 h to obtain samples identified as Pt-FeO,-vNa, where vNa is the sodium (Na) content in the product in oxidized form. The catalyst was characterized and its CO conversion activity was measured by the water gas shift reaction -carried out as described in EXAMPLE 1.
[0043] Additionally, the characterization of the platinum metallic area was carried out by the cyclohexane dehydrogenation reaction, conducted at atmospheric pressure, in a fixed bed reactor, usino a saturator with --c'ohexane maintained at 10 °C and hydrogen as carrier gas. The reduction of the catalyst was carried out at 300 'I) for 2 hours in a hydronen flow mi/min) and then the reaction was carried out at the same temperature.
[0044] The results shown. in Table 2 and idu e allow to conclude that to obtain high ac- in the convers io of CO, the catal vat consisting. of iron oxide and platinum, differently from that observed for ta lyst consisting of iron oxide (Table 2), the oresence of the sodium promoter is necessary, with levels above 0.04% If/1m, with levels above 2.0% mim being desirable, in principle.
[0045] The catalysts cc,nt:s lnincj platinum and promoted by sodium showed a much. higher. CO conversion activity than a. commercial. catalyst based on iron, chromium copper oxides e 2). ?lthouqh the results do not allow to say conclusive -is believed that sodium interacts with Pt atoms forming species that have high Co conversion Catalysts containing Pt have dehydrogenating activity, so the null activity for dehydrogenation an uhusndl result, raising doubts regarding the effect of the interaction between Na and Pt. Such interaction is capable of reducing the dehydrogenation activity of cyclohexane, characteristic of platinum with a predominantly metallic function (M..:Iale 2) To evaluate this hypothesis a series of catalysts with different sodium contents was evaluated nding dehydrogenating activity samples with low Na contents, as can be seen in Tarr Table 2 -Comparative CO c.onve.rsicn act%vjty in the water gas sh-ift:tion different temperatures as a function of sodium cant ant 07WAJWPLE Semple Reaction 300°C temperatureRD 280er (gmcligcat*a) 330°C Dt-Fe0x > 2.0ha 80.8 73.5 5e.2 26.5 0 Pt-Fe0x-1.58Ra Pt-Fe0x-0 fR6Nd 72.2 63.8 40.2 23.1 1 Pt-Fe0x-0.28Na Pt-Feax-0.09Na 72.2 19.4 33.1.

[0046] The stability Of the catalysts in the water gas shift reaction was measured in a fixed bed. reactor and at atmospheric pressure, in commercial euui.pment (AutoChem Micromeritcs). The sample was initially heated in an argon flow to 100 °C and then to 350 °C, rate of 5 'Cimin, in flow of 5% 112 argon saturated with water vapor at 73 'C. After this pre-treatment the gas mixture was replaced mixture containing 10,...5 CO, 10% v/v 002, 2% v/v methane in H2 balance, maintaining the saturator temperature with water at 73 CC, corresponding to a steam/gas ratio of 0,55 mol/mol to measure the initial activity a temperature of 350 Next, the gaseous mfx,ruf, was replaced by hydrogen and the temperature was raised to 500 °C, being maintained. under these conditions for 18 h, The temperature was then reduced to 350 'g, the hydrogen was replaced by the reaction and. a new measurement of the catalyst activity was carried out. The reactor effluent was analyzed by gas chromatography. The activity of the catalysts was expressed CO conversion %'ç /v [0047] Table 3 shows the initial activity and stability results. Surprisingly, nowever, the present invention teaches that high sodium contents, despite allowing greater activity, reduce the stability or the catalyst upon exposure to high temperatures, with the sodium content beng between 0.1 and 0.3% Wm allows to get-the best combined activity and sta.bil I:y per Drmance, TaLle3 -Comparative acti.vi I: of initial conversion and lod of accelerated dee of CO in the water gas shift reaction as a function of sodium content (EXN4PL.... 2), Sample X% CO initial CO after deactivat2on Pt-YeOz > 2,0Na 70'0 25.0 Ft-Fe0x-1,58Na 62.3 27.8 PtPe0x-0. 65Na 64.6 3 L;

EXAMPLE 3:
[0048] This comparative example illustrates that the preparation method, by incorporating platinum through impregnation of the hematite phase, produces a. catalyst with lower activity than that obtained by the catalyst preparation method described in the present invention, that is, by coprecipitation. A catalyst prepared according to EXAMPLE 2, containing a sodium content of less than 0.05% m/m was impregnated by the wet coint method with an aqueous solution.
of a water-soluble platinum compound or polar solvents, such as but not restricted to the compounds Pt(NH.3);AC (CAS 20634-12-2), H'PtC15,xF,20 (CAS 26023-94-7) , Pt.02H (CAP 13454-96-1), (Nfi)2PtC14 (CAP 13820-41-2) and (N1-34)2PtC16 (CAS 16919-58-7). The catalyst was then dried. at 100 °C. for 2 h and calcined at 400 cO for 2 h to obtain a hematite-based catalyst promoted by 0.2% platinum. (Pt) based on the oxidized product. The catalyst was characterized and its CO conversion activity was measured by the water gas shift reaction carried cut as described in EXAMPLE 1 and by the cyclohexane dehydrogenation activity described in EXAMPLE 2.
[0049] Table 4 shows that the catalyst prepared by the coprecioltation method, in accordance with. the present invention, (EXAMPLE 2) allows obtaining a higher CC conversion activity than the catalyst prepared by the impregnation method (EXAMPLE 3), in which despite the smeller metallic area estimated by the eyclohelzdne dehydrogenation activity. Although the results do not allow to say conclusively, it is believed that in the coprecipitation method, sodium interacts more efficiently. with Pt atoms, forming species with high CO conversion activity, The greater interaction between sodium and platinum would reduce the dehydrogenation activity of cyclohexane, characteristic of platinum with a predominantly metallic function (Table 4), but would increase the activity for the CO conversion reaction through the water gas shift reaction.

EXAMPLE 4: [0050] This example in accordance with the present invention illustrates the method of preparing the hematite-based catalyst promoted by aluminum, platinum and sodium in low levels.

After the end of precipitation, the suspension was maintained at the previous conditions of temperature, pH and agitation for another 1 h to age the precipitate. The precipitate was then filtered and separated into several parts to be waced with different amounts of water in order to obtain different levels of residual sodium in the ilnal product.
