The production of hydrogen from steam by reduced iron with additives such as CuO, $In_2O_3$, $MoO_3$ and $WO_3$ has been kinetically investigated. It was shown that all additives have a promoting effect on reaction activity in the order of $$MoO_3{\gg}In_2O_3{\sim_=}WO_3{\sim_=}CuO$$. The shrinking core model was applied to predict the complete conversion time and the results were quite comparable with experimental values. The reaction was carried out in a fixed flow reactor packed with reduced iron with 1 wt % of additives under the conditions, $600-750^{\circ}C$, Ar flow rate of 1 L/min and steam partial pressure of 0.085 atm. The apparent activation energies were 14.2, 20.9, 21.3, 22.4 and 27.9 kJ/mol with $MoO_3$, $In_2O_3$, $WO_3$, CuO and without additive, respectively.
