Catalyst for reforming of methanol

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To obtain a long-lived catalyst having a high activity even at low temperatures as a catalyst for reforming methanol by supporting a base metal, e.g., Cu, Zn, etc., and a noble metal, e.g., Pt, etc., on an alumina support already covered with zirconia. CONSTITUTION:As a catalyst for reforming methnaol into a gas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide, a catalyst obtained by supporting a base metal, e.g., Cu, Zn, etc., or oxides of these, and a noble metal, e.g., Pt, Pd, etc., on an alumina support already covered with zirconia is used. The catalyst can exhibit a high catalytic activity even at comparatively low temperatures when being used in reforming of methanol, and also the deterioration of its activity at high temperatures is less and exhibit a high catalytic actvity.
