ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus selectively oxidizes, within the fuel cell assembly, the carbon monoxide present in a fuel stream fed to the assembly. A quantity of catalyst is contained within at least a portion of a fuel stream passageway within the stack. The carbon monoxide is selectively oxidized by the catalyst to carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide produced by the reverse water-shift reaction is also oxidized.
