PURPOSE:To effectively reform methanol with a catalyst having heat transferring function and catalytic function by converting the methanol into hydrogen- contg. gas with the catalyst obtd. by coating a metal with powder of a porous carrier contg. copper oxide by thermal spraying. CONSTITUTION:When hydrogen-contg. gas is produced from methanol or a methanol-water mixture, a catalyst obtd. by coating a metal or alloy material with powder of a porous carrier contg. copper oxide by thermal spraying optionally after granulation for thermal spraying is used. Since the catalytic component is supported on the metal or alloy material, high heat transferring function is ensured. Especially when the catalytic component is supported on a heat exchanger tube and methanol is reformed on the catalytic surface of the tube, heat transferring function and catalytic function can simultaneously be ensured and the methanol is effectively reformed. |
