Abstract

Carbon monoxide is reacted with water vapor and converted into hydrogen and carbon dioxide, in the presence of a thio-resistant catalyst which comprises an active phase deposited onto a support, said active phase comprising molybdenum, vanadium or tungsten, and a cobalt and/or nickel promoter therefor, and said support comprising cerium oxide or zirconium oxide. The reaction mixture advantageously includes carbon monoxide, hydrogen, water and compounds of sulfur, wherefrom hydrogen is selectively produced in increased amounts.
