Abstract

PURPOSE:In a steam reformer for hydrocarbon gases, the support of the steam- reforming catalyst is made of an integrated structure of multilayered thin walls such as honeycomb or lattice form of heat-resistant basic inorganic substance such as dolomite or chrome magnesite, thus increasing reaction activity. CONSTITUTION:The tubes 7 in the reactor 1 of hydrocarbon gas steam reformer are packed with a reforming catalyst 8. The catalyst is supported on a carrier of a solid base of heat-resistant inorganic substance such as dolomite, magnesia, potassium aluminate or chrome magnesite, which is a polygonal or round cylinder with multilayered thin walls such as honeycomb or lattice structure. The use of such basic substance as a catalyst support extremely lessens the accumulation of carbon during the reaction to increase the reaction activity and permit the great prolongation of catalyst life.

That is, the present invention uses a steam reformer that mixes hydrocarbons with water and reformes the mixture into inorganic gases mainly consisting of hydrogen and carbon dioxide using a steam reforming catalyst. By using a square or cylindrical integrally molded body, we aim to increase the activity of the steam reforming reaction, reduce pressure loss due to the catalyst, and facilitate the replacement of the catalyst. The purpose of this catalyst is to suppress carbon generated on the catalyst during the reforming reaction, and a basic substance such as dolomite or chromag is used as a catalyst carrier. Conventionally, integrally molded bodies having a honeycomb cross section or the like have been used only in a very limited range, such as for removing exhaust gas from automobiles. Conventionally, carriers for steam reforming catalysts such as those used in the present invention have been spherical in shape.

The separated generated gas is stored in a gas reservoir (not shown) and used when necessary. Although the reaction is carried out as described above, if the reaction continues for a long period of time, carbon accumulates on the reforming catalyst 8, and the activity of the reforming reaction deteriorates. Regarding the tendency of carbon accumulation, it is well known that the greater the solid acid strength of the catalyst carrier, the greater the amount of carbon accumulation. Alternatively, it is well known that the amount of carbon accumulated can be reduced by adding an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal as a cocatalyst, and this has been put into practical use to some extent. In view of the above facts, the present invention uses a basic material such as dolomite or chromag as a catalyst carrier, and further uses the catalyst in an integrally molded body consisting of multilayer thin walls such as a honeycomb or lattice cross section. be. As a result, the following excellent results were obtained.
