CATALYTICALLY ACTIVE COMPOSITION FOR THE SELECTIVE METHANATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAID COMPOSITION

摘要

The invention relates to a catalytically active composition for the selective methanation of carbon monoxide. Said composition is characterised in that it contains as the active component at least one element selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, rhodium, nickel and cobalt and a carbon-based support. The invention also relates to the use of said catalytically active composition for the selective methanation of carbon monoxide and to the use of the composition for generating hydrogen in fuel-cell applications.
