PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN AND CARBON MONOXIDE

摘要

PURPOSE: To efficiently produce industrially useful carbon monoxide and hydrogen by using methane which is a main component of natural gas as well as carbon dioxide which is a main substance causing the global warming. CONSTITUTION: In the production of carbon monoxide and hydrogen by catalyzing methane and carbon dioxide, an activated metal supported on a carrier comprising alumina containing Al<3+> of coordination number 5 is used as a catalyst.
