PURPOSE:To produce hydrogen-containing gas stably for a long period, by reforming formic acid or a mixture of formic acid and water in the presence of a specific catalyst. CONSTITUTION:A mixture consisting of 20-90wt% Cu oxide (e.g. CuO), 80-10wt% Cr oxide (e.g. Cr2O3), if necessary 0.1-10wt% Mn and/or Ba oxide and a proper amount of water is dried and calcined to obtain a catalyst. The catalyst is added to a mixture of formic acid and water at a molar ratio (H2O/ HCOOH) of 0-100, and the components are made to react under a pressure of 0-50kg/cm<2>G at 100-500 deg.C to obtain the objective hydrogen-containing gas. |
