CATALYST STRUCTURE FOR SYNTHESIS GAS PRODUCTION, SYNTHESIS GAS PRODUCTION APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING CATALYST STRUCTURE FOR SYNTHESIS GAS PRODUCTION

The present invention provides a catalyst structure for synthesis gas production, said catalyst structure being capable of maintaining excellent catalytic activity for a longer period of time, while being capable of efficiently producing a synthesis gas that contains carbon monoxide and hydrogen. This catalyst structure 1 for synthesis gas production is used for the production of a synthesis gas that contains carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and this catalyst structure 1 is provided with: a carrier 10 that has a porous structure, while being configured from a zeolite type compound; first catalyst particles 20 that contain one or more iron group elements which are selected from the group consisting of nickel (Ni), iron (Fe) and cobalt (Co); and second catalyst particles 30 that contain one or more platinum group elements which are selected from the group consisting of platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), rhodium (Rh) and ruthenium (Ru). This catalyst structure 1 for synthesis gas production has passages 11, which are in communication with each other, within the carrier 10; the first catalyst particles 20 are present at least in the passages 11 of the carrier 10; and the second catalyst particles 30 are present at least either inside the carrier 10 or on the outer surface of the carrier 10.
