The present invention relates to a process for the catalytic partial oxidation of a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising contacting a feed comprising a hydrocarbon feedstock and an oxygen-containing gas with a catalyst at an elevated temperature under conditions such the catalyst will be susceptible to a thermal shock, the catalyst having the form of a porous monolithic structure and comprising a catalytically active metal supported on a zirconia-based carrier.

Process for the catalytic partial oxidation of hydrocarbons

A process for the catalytic partial oxidation of a hydrocarbon feedstock comprises contacting a feed comprising a hydrocarbon feedstock and an oxygen-containing gas with a catalyst in a reaction zone, which catalyst is retained in the reaction zone in a fixed arrangement having a tortuosity of at least 1.1 and having at least 750 pores per square centimeter.
