Abstract

Hydrogen production via the Water–Gas Shift Reaction (WGSR) is limited by thermodynamic equilibrium, restricting carbon monoxide (CO) conversion and process efficiency. The baseline process achieved 80.07% CO conversion, while the modified design incorporated CO recycle and controlled exothermic operation at 200° C. These changes significantly improved CO conversion to approximately 98%, reducing raw material losses and enhancing hydrogen yield. The results demonstrate that integrating recycle streams and thermal management strategies effectively overcomes equilibrium constraints for sustainable hydrogen production.
