It is known that in addition to nickel, iron, cobalt, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, palladium, and the like can also be used as catalysts (for example, JP-A-50-126005 and JP-A-61-260554).

付着はできるだけ抑制されることが望ましい。Conventional catalysts made of alumina supporting nickel and other materials are used when the water vapor/carbon (carbon in the raw material gas) molar ratio (S/C) is small, or when the raw material gas is relatively molecular weight such as olefins or heavy hydrocarbons. When using a raw material with a large carbon content, there is a drawback that carbon adhesion (coking) is significant, the raw material gas supply pressure increases, and eventually clogging occurs. A high steam/carbon ratio requires extra steam for the reaction, which is economically disadvantageous. Also,
An increase in the raw material gas supply pressure increases the load on the system, and if the catalyst is clogged, the catalyst must be replaced or regenerated, and for this purpose, the reaction must be stopped temporarily or the catalyst must be replaced without stopping the reaction. There is a disadvantage that a complicated device is required for reproduction. In particular, in internal reforming fuel cells, it is more difficult to replace and regenerate the catalyst, so it is desirable to suppress carbon adhesion to the catalyst as much as possible.

重要である。Furthermore, it is natural that it is desirable for the reaction efficiency in steam reforming to be high, and especially in fuel cells, the efficiency of the cell itself is an important key to the practical application of the fuel cell.
It is more important that the reforming efficiency of the catalyst installed in the fuel cell is high.
そこで、本発明は水蒸気改質の効率が高くかつ炭素付着

測される。According to the research conducted by the present inventors, a catalyst using a tetragonal or cubic zirconia support doped with yttria (Y2O2) has superior steam reforming catalytic performance compared to conventional catalysts, and It was found that it is excellent as a steam reforming catalyst. Tetragonal or cubic zirconia containing a small amount of ittria is known as partially stabilized zirconia and is known to have high oxygen ion conductivity. ) It is speculated that this may be related to the effect of inhibition.

と活性が低く炭化水素類の改質が不充分となる。In the present invention, the catalyst metal for steam reforming supported on the tetragonal or cubic zirconia support containing ittria is rhodium, ruthenium, palladium, platinum, or The amount of the catalyst metal supported on the yttria-containing zirconia support using these alloys, preferably rhodium or ruthenium, is not particularly limited, but is 0.01 to 10% by weight based on the total weight of the support and metal. It is preferably within the range of 0.1 to 3% by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 3% by weight. If the amount of metal is too large, it will be uneconomical, while if the amount of metal is too small, the activity will be low and the reforming of hydrocarbons will be insufficient.

The catalyst carrier used in the present invention is generally cylindrical, ring-shaped, or particulate, but is not necessarily limited thereto. It may be a fibrous or three-dimensional structure, and it can also be used as a composite structure with other carriers. As the internal reforming catalyst, a granular catalyst carrier with a small particle size is preferable.

精製手段が採用される。The steam reforming reaction for which the catalyst of the present invention is effective includes all conventionally known steam reforming reactions, especially all those conducted using a catalyst in which the same metal as the present invention, such as rhodium or ruthenium, is supported on a ceramic carrier. Although it is a steam reforming reaction, for example, gases containing light hydrocarbons such as LNG and LPG, petroleum fractions such as naphtha and kerosene, and mainly hydrocarbons such as coal liquefied oil, especially hydrocarbons with a not very large molecular weight (01 to This is a reaction that produces hydrogen, carbon oxide, carbon dioxide, or low molecular weight hydrocarbons (methane, ethane, etc.) by steam catalytic cracking of a raw material gas consisting of carbon (about 2°C). The raw material gas preferably consists of only hydrocarbons, but may contain trace amounts of other components. The content of sulfur compounds as a foreign component is desirably 0.5 ppm or less when the raw material is naphtha, and desirably 50 ppm or less when the raw material is kerosene. Purification methods such as hydrodesulfurization are employed to remove foreign components from raw materials.

触媒を付着して行なわれる。The catalyst of the present invention is particularly suitable for application in internal reforming fuel cells. This is because the reforming (conversion) efficiency is high and it has the effect of suppressing carbon deposition (coking).1 Although the application of the present invention is not limited, in the molten carbonate fuel cell, the molten carbonate of the electrolyte is scattered. It has been pointed out that the catalyst adheres to the catalyst surface and the activity decreases due to the elution of catalyst components, but the catalyst of the present invention has been confirmed to be stable against carbonates, and its application to this type of fuel cell. It is also useful. A catalyst is usually installed in a fuel cell by attaching the catalyst to the wall of a fuel gas flow path.
