METHANOL MODIFYING CATALYST, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME AND METHANOL MODIFYING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a methanol modifying catalyst having high activity, selectivity and durability, excellent in hydrogen manufacturing efficiency and capable of also realizing a compact fuel modifying apparatus, to provide a method for manufacturing the same and a methanol modifying method. SOLUTION: The methanol modifying catalyst is obtained by dispersing zinc oxide and/or aluminum oxide and copper oxide in a mixed solution of a water soluble compound of platinum and/or palladium and a water soluble compound of zinc to form oxides of platinum and/or palladium and zinc. Zinc oxide contained in the oxides and the water-soluble compound of platinum and/or palladium form an alloy by heat treatment. Zinc oxide and/or aluminum oxide and copper oxide are dispersed in the mixed solution of the water soluble compound of platinum and/or palladium and the water soluble compound of zinc in a predetermined ratio and this mixed solution is dried and baked to manufacture the methanol modifying catalyst.
