Abstract
A catalyst and a process for partially oxidizing hydrocarbons to hydrogen and carbon monoxide is provided. The catalyst consists essentially of rhodium, the rhodium being usually supported on a carrier. In the process, a mixture gas of a hydrocarbon such as naptha, gasoline and propane and an oxidizer such as air and/or oxygen is contacted with the rhodium catalyst at an elevated temperature.
