Abstract
A ferrofluid consisting of colloidally dispersed magnetite particles i n water was found to be an efficient selective catalyst for water gas shift reaction at 15-25 atmosphere of CO pressure in the temperature r ange of 423-553 K where the products obtained were only CO2 and H-2. T he reaction was studied as a function of variation of the concentratio n of catalyst pressure of CO gas and temperature. Kinetic parameters s uggested a mechanism involving first order dependence in CO and cataly st concentrations.
