CATALYTIC PARTIAL OXIDATION WITH A RHODIUM-IRIDIUM ALLOY CATALYST

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the catalytic partial oxidation of a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock, which process consists of contacting a feed consisting of the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock and an oxygen-containing gas with a catalyst having metals of Group VIII of the Periodic Table of Elements, wherein the Group VIII metals are at least rhodium and iridium in intimate association with each other.
