摘要 |
The present invention relates to a catalytic partial oxidation process for the production of synthesis gas starting from oxygenated compounds deriving from biomasses, comprising at least the following operative phase: reacting, in a suitable reactor, a reaction mixture comprising: a) one or more oxygenated compounds selected from glycerine, ethanol, triglycerides of fatty acids, carbohydrates having the general formula Cn(H2O)nH2 and/or mixtures thereof, b) an oxidant selected from oxygen, air or air enriched with oxygen, c) optionally a hydrocarbon propellant or vapour, said reaction being carried out at a temperature ranging from 450 to 1,100° C., at a pressure ranging from 1 to 50 ATM, with a GHSV (gas hourly space velocity) ranging from 10,000 to 1,000,000 Nl/(kg.h), in the presence of a catalyst comprising one or more transition metals on a solid carrier.
