  Abstract

To investigate the effect of magnesium oxide addition, Cu/ZnO/MgO/Al2O3 (CZMA) catalysts were prepared using co-precipitation method with fixed molar ratio of Cu/Zn/Mg/Al as 45/45/5/5 mol% for low-temperature water gas shift reaction. Synthesized catalysts were characterized by using BET, N2O chemisorption, XRD, H2-TPR and NH3-TPD analysis. The catalytic activity tests were carried out at a GHSV of 28,000 h-1 and a temperature range of 200 ~ 320 ℃. At the same condition, magnesium oxide added catalyst (CZMA 400) showed that the lowest reduction temperature and stable presence of Cu+, that is active species and abundant weak acid site. Also magnesium oxide added catalysts (CZMA) showed higher catalytic activity at temperature range above 240 ℃ than the catalyst without magnesium oxide (CZA). Consequently, CZMA 400 catalyst is considered to be excellent catalyst showing CO conversion of 77.59% without deactivation for about 75 hours at 240 ℃, GHSV 28,000 h-1.
