The present development is a catalyst for use in water gas shift processes, a method for making the catalyst and a method of using the catalyst. The catalyst is composed of iron oxide, copper oxide, zinc oxide, alumina, and optionally, potassium oxide, and is produced using a hydrothermal synthesis process. The catalyst demonstrates surprising activity for conversion of carbon monoxide under high to moderate temperature shift reaction conditions.

Iron-based water gas shift catalyst

Fe&#x2014;Al&#x2014;Cu catalysts have numerous industrial applications, for example, as catalysts in a water gas shift reactor. A method of producing a Fe&#x2014;Al&#x2014;Cu catalyst comprises the steps of providing an organic iron precursor, dissolving the organic iron precursor in a solvent solution, adding an aqueous solution comprising aluminum nitrate and copper nitrate to the organic iron pre-cursor-solvent solution, precipitating a gel comprising Fe&#x2014;Al&#x2014;Cu by adding a base, and drying the gel to form the Fe&#x2014;Al&#x2014;Cu catalyst.
