Abstract
A process and a metal catalyst are provided for the partial oxidation of hydrocarbons to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The process is conducted by contacting a mixture of a hydrocarbon-containing gas and an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a metal catalyst. The metal catalyst is a transition or noble metal supported on a ceria monolith substrate. Partial oxidation of hydrocarbons can be carried out at low initiation temperatures with high product yields.
