The invention relates to a catalyst for conversion of carbon monoxide with steam into hydrogen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen-rich synthesis gases. The conversion can be done at temperatures above roughly 300.degree. C. In addition, a chromium-free catalyst for the aforementioned purpose is described which contains the following in 'application form:'

Chromium-free catalyst based on iron oxide for conversion of carbon

A catalyst based on crystalline aluminosilicates of the pentasil type, having an Si/Al atomic ratio of at least 10, has the structure of primary crystallites of a mean diameter of at least 0.1 micron and at most 0.9 micron, which crystallites are partially combined into agglomerates the primary crystallites and/or agglomerates being mutually joined by finely disperse alumina obtainable by hydrolysis of aluminum-organic compounds, the BET surface area of the catalyst being 300 to 600 m.sup.2 /g and its pore volume (determined by mercury porosimetry) being 0.3 to 0.8 cm.sup.3 /g.

Catalyst based on crystalline aluminosilicate

A catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of polyunsaturated hydrocarbons which contain entirely or predominantly more than five carbon atoms, containing palladium with a promotor on a metal oxide support. The promotor is a metal from the subgroup IB of the periodic system (preferably silver) and the metal oxide support (TiO.sub.2 optionally mixed with CeO.sub.2 and/or ZrO.sub.2) is macroporous, the pore volume being about 0.2 to 0.4, preferably about 0.25 to 0.30 ml per g of carrier and the proportion of the macropores having a diameter of more than 14 nm being at least 65%.
