Understanding of the kinetics and deactivation mechanisms is thus critical when designing new catalysts/processes able to achieve clean fuel for practical applications. An example of the kinetics study is of low temperature WGSR over fresh Au/CeZrO4 catalyst. Six mechanisms were proposed to find the rate equation using integral reactor model.
