<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carrier for supporting a catalyst, which can attain both of a durability and a facility of supporting the catalyst (catalyst support performance) at a high level. <P>SOLUTION: The carrier for supporting the catalyst is obtained by carbonating a raw material containing a nitrogen-containing organic substance and a metal. In the carrier for supporting the catalyst, a peak in the vicinity of a diffraction angle 26° in an X-ray diffraction diagram may contain 20-45% structural components similar to black lead and 55-80% amorphous components. Further, in the carrier for supporting the catalyst, the intensity ratio (I<SB>1,360</SB>/I<SB>1,580</SB>) of 1,360 cm<SP>-1</SP>band in Raman spectrum to 1,580 cm<SP>-1</SP>band may be ≥0.3 and ≤1.0 also. Furthermore, the carrier for supporting the catalyst can be also obtained by applying a metal removing treatment to the carbonated material obtained by the carbonation of the raw material, and further, applying a heat treatment. In this case, the metal may be a transition metal. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
