摘要 |
Provided in the present invention is a catalyst for an ATR (autothermal reforming) process of hydrogen production, as well as the methods to prepare and use it. The catalyst comprises a precious metal of the platinum family (e.g., Pt, Pd, Ru, Rh, Ir) and combinations and mixtures thereof as the active component, an alkali metal oxide and/or alkaline metal oxide as the first additive, and a CeO2-based composite oxide as the second additive. The catalyst can be used in pellet form, or may be formed into a monolithic form with all the catalytic active components and additives loaded on a support with a regular structure, such as a ceramic honeycomb, a metal honeycomb, or a metal foam. |
