Why are Low Temperature Shift Catalysts Important?
The primary importance of LTS catalysts lies in their ability to enhance the efficiency of the water-gas shift reaction at lower temperatures, which is more energy-efficient and cost-effective. These catalysts are vital in processes such as ammonia synthesis, fuel cells, and various hydrogenation processes. Furthermore, they help in reducing the CO content in syngas, which is essential for protecting downstream catalysts from deactivation.
