Disclosed is a catalyst carrier which is used for carrying a catalyst thereon. The catalyst carrier is characterized in that the apparent specific heat measured at 800°C is 1.8 times or more greater than that measured at room temperature, wherein the apparent specific heat means a charge heat amount required for substantially increasing the temperature of a unit mass (kg) by 1 K, inclusive of the influence of endotherm or exotherm caused by change in crystalline form, partial melting, coagulation, phase transformation, vitrification, amorphous-formation, crystallization.and the like. |
