Catalyst for steam reforming of hydrocarbon

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To perform the steam reforming of hydrocarbons with high efficiency, by using a catalyst which is prepared by baking a mixture consisting of a calcium compound an an aluminum compound while supporting ruthenium by the baked mixture in a specific ratio. CONSTITUTION:A mixture consisting of a calcium compound and an aluminum compoun is baked to obtain a solid baked substance comprising calcium/alumina spinnel or consisting of said spinnel and calcium oxide and/or alumina and containing 10-50wt% of calcium oxide and 0.02-10wt% of ruthenium is supported by said baked substance. Thus obtained catalyst is a reforming one prevented from the deposition of carbon or sintering within a wide temp. range of 300-900 deg.C under a condition of low steam/carbon ratio and having high activity and durability.
