Abstract
A catalyst for the steam reforming of hydrocarbons characterized in that 0.1-2 wt. % of ruthenium is carried on a carrier which comprises 5-40 wt. % of ceria or rare element oxides containing ceria as the main ingredient and 60-95 wt. % of alumina, and that an atomic ratio of cerium to ruthenium (Ce/Ru) in the catalyst is in the range of from more than 10 to 200.
