PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF A HYDROGEN-RICH GAS

摘要

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF A HYDROGEN-RICH GAS The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a hydrogen-rich gas, which is carried out by transforming a carbon monoxide-containing gas with steam. The conversion is effected in the presence of a catalyst containing a spinel whose composition corresponds to the formula LixCu(l-x)Fe5O8 in which O < x < l. Preferably a compound of an alkali metal is added to the catalyst. Application to industrial processes for the preparation of hydrogen.
