Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to reverse water-gas shift catalysts, methods of making the same, and methods for performing reverse water-gas shift reactions.
  • the reverse water-gas shift reaction is an advantageous route to obtain carbon monoxide from carbon dioxide for further chemical processing.
  • the rWGS converts carbon dioxide and hydrogen to carbon monoxide and water, as shown in Equation (1) .
  • the carbon monoxide and hydrogen so formed is a valuable feedstock for a number of chemical processes, for example, the well-known Fischer-Tropsch process, shown in Equation (2) .
  • acompeting reaction is the Sabatier reaction (Equation (3) ) , which decreases carbon monoxide yield in favor of methane production.
  • the strongly exothermic Sabatier reaction is thermodynamically favored over the endothermic rWGS reaction at lower reaction temperatures. As such, minimizing the methanation during rWGS, especially at low temperatures, can become a significant challenge.
  • the carbon monoxide product from rWGS can be hydrogenated to methane, as shown in Equation (4) .
  • the present disclosure provides for a supported reverse water-gas shift catalyst comprising:
  • a support that is a cerium oxide support, a titanium oxide support, an aluminum oxide support, a zirconium support, or a mixed oxide support comprising a mixture of two or more of cerium oxide, titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, and zirconium oxide;
  • gold present in an amount in the range of 0.05 to 10 wt%of the catalyst, based on the total weight of the catalyst;

  • the Sabatier reaction, carbon monoxide methanation, and carbon-producing side reactions can interfere with the rWGS reaction.
  • the Sabatier reaction and CO methanation are exothermic and favored at lower temperatures, while the rWGS and carbon-producing side reactions are endothermic and favored at higher temperatures. Accordingly, there remains a need for rWGS catalysts that can provide good performance in spite of these complicating factors.
