REFORMING CATALYST OF METHANOL

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain a titled catalyst having high activity at low temp. and long life whereby H2 and CO are produced selectively by depositing at least one kind of noble metal on the alumina carrier previously covered with oxide of alkali earth metallic element and oxide of rare earth element. CONSTITUTION:At least one kind of noble metal such as platinum and Pd is deposited on the alumina carrier previously covered with oxide of alkali earth metallic element and oxide of rare earth element. The amount of the oxides of said alkali earth metallic element and rare earth element covering this alumina carrier is preferably within the range of 0.05-50wt% respectively, and the deposited amount of at least one kind of noble metal such as platinum and Pd is preferably within the range of 0.01-10wt%. The catalyst obtained by said process is highly selective for the reaction wherein methanol is decomposed to the gas containing H2 and CO, and is highly active and has extremely excellent durability.
