Abstract
The present invention relates to a catalyst body in the form of a substrate monolith, and to a device for reforming, in particular adiabatically, hydrocarbons, in particular methane from natural gas. The catalyst body contains precious metals and a carrier oxide for the precious metals. A process for producing the catalyst and the use of said catalyst for producing hydrogen is also claimed. The precious metals are selected from platinum, palladium and rhodium, and the molar ratio M1/M2 at the inlet region of the substrate monolith is higher than at the other end, wherein M1 is Pt and/or Pd, and M2 is Rh.
Claims12
Substrate monolith comprising a reforming catalyst for generating hydrogen from hydrocarbons, in particular methane, which reforming catalyst comprises precious metals and at least one carrier oxide on which the precious metals are deposited,
- characterized in that the precious metals are selected from the group consisting of Pt, Pd and Rh, and M1/M2 is larger at the inlet region of the substrate monolith than at the other end, wherein M1=Pt and/or Pd, and M2=Rh.
