This invention discloses a high temperature stable, supported, non-noble metal catalyst, represented by a general formula: NiCoCeMgYO(y)/S, wherein S is a low surface area, macroporous, highly sintered, solid support comprising zirconium and hafnium oxides with less than 3 wt % silica and/or alumina having a surface area less than 1.0 m/g and pore diameter greater than 0.1 micron, in the form of pellet, ring, monolith or granules; a is from 0.01 to 10; b is from 0.001 to 10; c is from 0.001 to 10; d is from 0.005 to 5; x is number of oxygen atoms required to fulfill the valance requirement of the metallic elements; and y is weight percent loading of the active catalyst mass, on the support, S, in the range from 0.7% to 70%. The invention also discloses a process for the partial oxidation of hydrocarbon(s) to syngas using the thermally stable catalyst.

High temperature stable non-noble metal catalyst, process for production of syngas using said catalyst

A process for the non-oxidative conversion of methane simultaneously with the conversion of an organic oxygenate, represented by a general formula: CHOCH, wherein C, H and O are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements, respectively; n is an integer having a value between 1 and 4; and m is an integer having a value between zero and 4, to Chydrocarbons, particularly to gasoline range C&#x2013;Chydrocarbons and hydrogen, using a bifunctional pentasil zeolite catalyst, having strong acid and dehydrogenation functions, at a temperature below 700&#xb0; C. is disclosed. In this process the moles of methane converted per mole of oxygenate converted is above 1.0, depending upon the process conditions.
