Abstract

A heterogeneous catalyst, especially for the flameless combustion of hydrocarbons such as methane, propane and butane, and which is especially effective in obtaining maximum conversion of such hydrocarbons and minimum release of alkenes, contains on a catalyst support, conventional flameless combustion catalysts such as platinum sponge, palladium and active metal oxides. According to the invention the catalyser combination also includes the manganese oxide Mn.sub.3 O.sub.4 which itself does not have significant catalyst activity.
