<p>Processes and a new family of chromium-based catalysts for the catalytic conversion of hydrocarbons to carbon monoxide and hydrogen are disclosed. One highly active and selective catalyst system, providing greater than 95% CH4 conversion, and 97-98 % selectivity to CO and H2 at conversion-promoting conditions and high space velocity, is a chromium-containing catalyst consisting of a CoCr2O4 cubic spinel precursor dispersed in a chromium oxide matrix. The catalyst precursor is reduced to cobalt metal (in a chromium oxide matrix) in the reactant stream.</p> |
