Abstract
An improved catalyst and an improved process for use of the catalyst in the steam-hydrocarbon reforming reaction is disclosed. The catalyst comprises a group VIII metal on a cylindrical ceramic support consisting essentially of alpha alumina and having a plurality of gas passages extending axially therethrough. These supported catalysts display a higher geometric surface area and a lower pressure drop than do standard rings.
