DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT A HETEROGENOUSLY CATALYSED REACTION AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A CATALYST

摘要

The invention relates to a device for carrying out a heterogenously catalysed reaction, for example the production of hydrogen from hydrocarbons or alcohol, especially methanol, by adding a reaction mixture consisting of hydrocarbon and water to a catalyst. The inventive catalyst is produced by pressing at least one catalyst powder into a very compact layer forming a shaped body. The reaction mixture can then be pressed through the catalyst layer by reducing pressure.
