  Abstract

In order to investigate the effect of cerium oxide addition, Cu-ZnO-CeO2 catalysts were prepared using co-precipitation method for water gas shift (WGS) reaction. A series of Cu-ZnO-CeO2 catalyst with fixed Cu Content (50 wt%, calculated as CuO) and a given ceria content (e.g., 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 wt%, calculated as CeO2) were tested for catalytic activity at a GHSV of 95,541 h-1, and a temperature range of 200 to 400 ℃. Cu-ZnO-CeO2 catalysts were characterized by using BET, SEM, XRD, H2-TPR, and XPS analysis. Varying composition of Cu-ZnO-CeO2 catlysts led the difference characteristics such as Cu dispersion, and binding energy. The optimum 10 wt% doping of cerium facilitated catalyst reduction at lower temperature and improved the catalyst performance greatly in terms of CO conversion. Cerium oxide added catalyst showed enhanced activities at higher temperature when it compared with the catalyst without cerium oxide. Consequently, ceria addition of optimal composition leads to enhanced catalytic activity which is attributed to enhanced Cu dispersion, lower binding energy, and hindered Cu metal agglomeration.
