On the other hand, a ceramic-based porous material such as zeolite has a large specific surface area because it has fine pores at a high density, but has a low mechanical strength and is a brittle material. Although the metal carrier has no such disadvantages, it has a small surface due to its smooth surface, and cannot support a large amount of catalyst. In addition, even if it is a metal porous body manufactured by powder metallurgy, etc., with the technology currently in practical use, the particle diameter of the raw material powder is several microns or more, and it is not possible to generate fine pores at high density, so the catalyst must be used. A large amount could not be supported. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and provides a catalyst carrier which can increase the specific surface area to increase the amount of supported catalyst and has excellent mechanical strength and impact resistance, and a method for producing the same. The purpose is to do.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The catalyst carrier used in the present invention is an iron-based alloy containing aluminum, the surface of which is decorated with fibrous aluminum nitride. Here, the term "decoration" means that a new material is added to the surface to perform surface treatment. The catalyst is mainly carried in the alloy and the space where the entanglement between the fiber surface and the fiber is formed. The fiber diameter of the fibrous aluminum nitride is 0.02 to 0.5 μm, preferably 0.05 to 0.2 μm, and the length is 2 μm or more, preferably 5 μm or more. When the fiber diameter is smaller than 0.02 μm, it is difficult to carry the catalyst on the surface, and when the fiber diameter is larger than 0.5 μm, the specific surface area is small, the fiber is easily broken, and the preparation conditions are difficult. If the length is shorter than 2 μm, it is difficult to carry the catalyst due to the entanglement of the fibers.

Heat treatment at 900 to 1250 ° C. can produce fibrous aluminum nitride. Heat treatment temperature is 900
If the temperature is lower than 0 ° C., the diffusion of aluminum in the alloy to the surface is insufficient. If the temperature exceeds 1250 ° C., the diffusion of aluminum and chromium to the surface and the reaction with the ambient gas are severe, and the alloy may be damaged. is there.

[0008] Within this range of temperature and gas partial pressure, the form and amount of fibrous aluminum nitride formed according to the alloy composition, temperature, gas partial pressure and heat treatment time can be controlled to some extent. To create an optimal catalyst support. However, when the alloy is a powder or a fiber aggregate and the powder diameter or the fiber diameter is as small as about 10 μm, 11
When the temperature is higher than 00 ° C., all of the aluminum component diffuses to the surface and reacts with the atmospheric gas, whereby the alloy may be embrittled. In such a case, the heat treatment time is shortened by reducing the nitrogen partial pressure in the atmosphere. If oxygen is present during this heat treatment, aluminum oxide is partially generated,
To avoid this, the oxygen partial pressure should be 0.0005 mmHg
Do the following. When the aluminum-containing iron-based alloy is a fibrous aggregate or powder, for example, under a pressurized, pressurized, or pressurized form, it is sintered in a vacuum or inert gas to form a sheet, block, or the like. After molding, it is also possible to decorate the surface with fibrous aluminum nitride. The aluminum-containing iron-based alloy is not limited to a fiber aggregate or a powder, and may be formed in a plate shape.
