METHOD FOR CATALYTIC PARTIAL OXIDATION OF HYDROCARBONS Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: petrochemical synthesis. SUBSTANCE: invention, in particular, concerns production of carbon monoxide- hydrogen mixture from methane-containing raw material. Mixture of the latter with oxygen-containing gas at oxygen-to-carbon ratio between 0.3 and 0.8 is brought into contact with catalyst containing VIII group metal at temperature above 900 C and elevated pressure. According to invention, catalyst is carried by refractory metal oxide including at least two cations and contact is effected at flow rate from 500000 to 30000000 nl/kg hr. EFFECT: increased conversion of hydrocarbon raw and improved selectivity. 13 cl, 2 tbl, 5 ex
