CATALYST FOR THE STEAM REFORMING OF METHANE, METHOD FOR PREPARING THEREOF AND METHOD FOR THE STEAM REFORMING OF METHANE IN BY-PRODUCT GAS CONTAINING SULPHUR USING THE CATALYST

摘要

The present invention provides a catalyst for steam reforming of methane comprising: an alumina (Al_2O_3) catalyst support conjugated with gadolinium (Gd) and cerium (Ce); and a binary compound of rhodium (Rh) and nickel (Ni) which are catalyst activating ingredients. Additionally, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing the catalyst for steam reforming of methane comprising an alumina catalyst support manufacturing step and an active ingredient impregnating step, and a method for steam reforming of methane supplying COG gas to the catalyst. The present invention is able to obtain the catalyst with excellent stability and reactivity in steam reforming reaction of methane supplying by-product gas including H_2S by using the method for manufacturing the catalyst for steam reforming of methane. Additionally, the present invention is able to obtain syngas of a proper composition capable of being applied to methanol synthesis, dimethylether synthesis and a fischer-tropsch process by performing the steam reforming reaction of methane by using the catalyst and is able to directly obtain high quality hydrogen fuel by directly manufacturing hydrogen.
