Abstract
A catalyst for selective oxidation of carbon monoxide present in a hydrogen-containing gas is provided in which the catalyst comprises ruthenium supported on an alumina hydrate. This catalyst has a high selective oxidation activity to carbon monoxide. A carbon monoxide elimination method using this catalyst is also provided. In this method, to a gas containing at least hydrogen and carbon monoxide and being richer in the hydrogen than the carbon monoxide on the basis of volume, oxygen is added in an amount necessary for oxidizing at least part of carbon monoxide present in that gas, and thereafter the gas to which the oxygen has been added is brought into contact with the catalyst described above. Also provided is a solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell system that utilizes this method.
