The object of the present invention is to achieve excellent reforming
ability even at lower temperatures, with a dimethyl ether steam reforming
catalyst.According to the present invention, there is provided a dimethyl
ether steam reforming catalyst capable of steam-reforming dimethyl ether
to obtain hydrogen, comprising active alumina, Cu, and at least one
element selected from the group consisting of Mn and Fe, the catalyst
being prepared by a sol-gel method, and the catalyst having a porous
structure.
