Process for producing hydrogen from carbon monoxide and water.

摘要

1. A process for producing hydrogen by means of a homogeneously catalysed conversion of carbon monoxide and water into carbon dioxide and hydrogen using a carbonyl compound of the metals Fe, Co, Cr, Mo, and/or W as the catalyst in the form of an aqueous basic solution, characterized in that carbon monoxide is reacted with water and one of said metal carbonyls at a temperature from 190 degrees C to 300 degrees C and at a carbon monoxide partial pressure between 40 and 500 bar.
