This document summarizes a study that determined the kinetics of the liquid phase water-gas shift reaction on platinum catalysts. Key findings include: - The rate of the liquid phase water-gas shift reaction is an order of magnitude higher than the gas phase reaction - Adding molybdenum to the platinum catalyst increases the rate of reaction for both the liquid and gas phase reactions similarly - The reaction mechanisms appear to be the same for both liquid and gas phase water-gas shift reactions
