Abstract: A support for a fuel reforming catalyst includes aluminum (Al); and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) encapsulating the aluminum, wherein a total volume of micropores and mesopores is in the range of 0.1 to 1.0 ml/g per unit mass, and a volume of macropores is in the range of 0.4 to 1.2 ml/g per unit mass, and a method of preparing the same. The support has excellent heat transfer characteristics due to its high thermal conductivity and excellent mass transfer characteristics because the micropores, mesopores, and macropores exist in a proper ratio. Accordingly, if the support is used for a supported catalyst that is used in a reaction, in which the reaction rate is controlled by heat transfer and mass transfer, such as a fuel reforming reaction, the activity of the catalyst is enhanced. In addition, the support can be easily formed as desired due to its high mechanical strength.

Abstract: A catalytic system for CO removal includes a gold (Au) catalyst and a co-catalyst in contact with an aqueous phase, and a fuel cell system using the same. The catalytic system is relatively very simple compared to a common CO removal system, and can highly efficiently remove CO at low temperature without side reaction. In addition, water contacted in the catalytic system can act as a buffer for the rise and fall of temperature, and thus, can cope with an accidental temperature change. Further, the catalytic system shows a low operation temperature, and thus, can be operated over a broad operation range considering the activity and/or selectivity of the gold catalyst, etc.

More particularly, a zeolite adsorbent for desulfurization in which the relative crystallinity of Y zeolite that is ion exchanged with Ag is 45% to 98%, and a method of preparing the same. The zeolite adsorbent for desulfurization has excellent crystallinity over the known zeolite adsorbent for desulfurization, and thus has better performance of adsorbing sulfur compounds though it contains less Ag. Accordingly, when the sulfur compounds of a fuel gas are removed by employing the zeolite adsorbent for desulfurization, a desulfurizing device that is bettereven with less cost can be constructed.

The non-pyrophoric shift reaction catalyst may be prepared by uniformly mixing a platinum precursor, a cerium precursor, and an oxide carrier in a dispersing medium to obtain a mixture; drying the mixture; and calcining the dried mixture. The shift reaction catalyst having a non-pyrophoric property has an excellent reaction activity even at a low temperature and can efficiently remove carbon monoxide in fuel.
