The GRI-C-600 catalyst has higher activity (30+%) than the GRI-C-500 catalyst in the presence of a high CO2 (40%) concentration. Both catalysts are being life-tested and have been on-stream for more than 1000 hours, using a Lurgi-type (0.6 mole percent H2S) raw gas (Western coal). The sulfur-resistant GRI-C-318 catalyst was evaluated for the steam reforming of a sulfur-containing (21 ppm H2S) natural gas at low temperatures (700 to 1100F), and the results are comparable to those reported by other investigators using other types of sulfur-tolerant catalysts. To provide design data for the economic/process evaluation of both the base case and the direct methanation case in a Westinghouse gasification process, a set of experiments was conducted to study the COS hydrolysis and hydrogenation reactions. Near-equilibrium (50F approach) conversions were measured for the water-gas shift reaction, but away-from-equilibrium (250F approach) conversions were measured for the COS hydrolysis/hydrogenation reactions.
