>> Reactivity of commercial WGS catalyst(MDC-7) and four new catalysts(RMC-3, PC-73, PC-67SU, PC-59) manufactured with various compositions by Korea Electric Power Research Institute(KEPCO RI) were compared to select suitable WGS catalyst for SEWGS system. Steam/CO ratio, gas velocity, flow rates of syngas,and temperature were considered as operating variables. As a result, MDC-7 catalyst showed the highest CO conversion and RMC-3 catalyst showed also high CO conversion. Therefore, MDC-7 and RMC-3 catalysts were selected as applicable catalysts. However, PC-73 catalyst showed low CO conversion at low temperature(200℃) but showed good reactivity at high temperature(225~250℃), and therefore, PC-73 catalyst was selected as applicablecatalyst for high temperature operation. Continuous operations up to 24 hours for those three catalysts(MDC-7,RMC-3, PC-73) were conducted to check reactivity decay of catalysts. All three catalysts maintained their originalreactivity.
