CATALYST MEMBER LAMINATE AND CATALYTIC REACTION APPARATUS USING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high speed high efficient hydrogen catalyst member having a catalytic function on a metallic surface for rapidly generating a large amount of hydrogen and improving thermal efficiency, while a large amount of catalyst is conventionally required for causing a reaction with a prolonged time for sufficiently raising the temperature of the entire catalyst in a large amount; and a method for heating the same.SOLUTION: Two sheets of catalyst members with a catalytic function on a metallic surface having pulled-out terminals, respectively, are laminated or wound through an insulation material so as to form a catalyst member laminate. An AC voltage is applied between metal substrates of the catalyst member laminate so as to heat the catalyst member laminate.
