Catalyst for the production of a hydrogen-rich gas

摘要

Hydrogen-rich gas is produced by reacting gas mixtures comprising CO and H2O in a reactor containing an improved unsupported catalyst comprising an alkali-metal promoted partially reduced mixture of at least one copper uranate and at least one oxide of copper. The weight percent uranium present in the activated catalyst, based on total weight of catalyst composition, is in the range of over 50 to about 90.
