ShiftMax 230 Copper Low Temperature Shift Catalyst (WGS)
The ShiftMax® 230 is a copper-based low-temperature shift (LTS) catalyst for hydrogen production in ammonia and hydrogen plants. It catalyzes the reaction of carbon monoxide
Copper-zinc catalysts consist of copper (Cu) and zinc oxide (ZnO) and are among the most frequently used catalyst types in the industry. They are often combined with carrier materials such as alumina (Al2O3) to optimize activity and stability. Their areas of application include methanol synthesis, the low-temperature water-gas shift reaction, the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and the conversion of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide into valuable products.
In methanol synthesis, copper catalyzes the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, while zinc oxide stabilizes the structure and service life of the catalyst. In the water-gas shift reaction, copper-zinc catalysts support the conversion of carbon monoxide into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Furthermore, in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, they enhance hydrogen addition and the efficiency of carbon conversion.
Thanks to their high catalytic activity at medium temperatures, as well as their stability and longevity, copper-zinc catalysts are well-suited for a wide range of industrial applications.
