CATALYST FOR THE REMOVAL OF HYDROGEN FROM AN ATMOSPHERE CONTAINING HYDROGEN, OXYGEN AND STEAM

摘要

A catalyst for the removal or elimination of hydrogen from an atmosphere containing hydrogen, oxygen and steam. The catalyst consists of a metal or a corresponding alloy which influences the oxidation of the hydrogen, and which is applied onto a substrate material as a catalyst layer. The catalyst layer is applied onto the substrate which is formed from plate or sheet metal, fabric, mesh or granulate and consists of a support material which will regard to its expansion under a temperature change is compatible with the catalyst layer and is corrosion-resistance of the substrate material prevents the oxidation thereof in the presence of steam.
