STEAM REFORMING CATALYST, STEAM REFORMING METHOD, HYDROGEN PRODUCTION APPARATUS, AND FUEL CELL SYSTEM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steam reforming catalyst for hydrocarbon compounds which catalyst advantageously performs purge with an oxygen-containing gas during, e.g., shutdown of a hydrogen production apparatus; a hydrogen production apparatus using the catalyst; and a fuel cell system. PSOLUTION: The steam reforming catalyst for hydrocarbon compounds comprises a carrier containing (a) alumina, (b) cerium oxide, and (c) barium oxide and/or magnesia as constituting components and rhodium carried by the carrier.
