Abstract
A method is disclosed for converting light alkanes (e.g. methane or natural gas) to synthesis gas employing a stabilized Ni-based catalyst that is active for catalyzing the net partial oxidation of the hydrocarbon, in the presence of O2 to CO and H2. Certain preferred catalysts comprise Ni alloyed with a Ni-stabilizing amount of gold or silver, and a lanthanide element, carried on a refractory support.
