In situ gravimetric measurements were used to study oxygen removal from (or incorporation into) chromia‐promoted magnetite in CO 2 /CO and H 2 O/H 2 gas mixtures at 637 K. The equilibrium and kinetic data could be described by two reversible, oxidation‐reduction reactions: surface‐oxygen removal by CO and surface oxygen replenishment by H 2 O, with the corresponding reverse reaction involving CO 2 and H 2 . These reactions form a regenerative mechanism that is able to predict qualitatively both the measured rate and rate expression for water‐gas shift. It is concluded that this regenerative mechanism is a primary pathway for water‐gas shift over magnetite.
