Hydrocarbons are partially oxidised to form a gas mixture comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen. A mixture of a hydrocarbon containing gas and an oxygen-containing gas is contacted with a catalytically effective amount of a reduced metal catalyst consisting genetically of a transition or noble metal selected from nickel, cobalt, iron, platinum, pallachium, iridium, rhenium, ruthenium, monolith substrate under conditions that initiate the partial oxidation reaction. The reaction can be initiated at a temperature of less than 200 DEG C. |
