Abstract
The present invention provides a process for the production of hydrogen from the catalytic partial oxidation of a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock () with molecular oxygen () over a partial oxidation catalyst (), which process comprises: during a reaction time interval contacting a first mixture of the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock and molecular oxygen with an overall oxygen-to-carbon ratio in the range of from 0.3 to 0.8 with the partial oxidation catalyst to convert the feedstock to a hydrogen-comprising gas and during a regeneration time interval contacting a second mixture of the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock and molecular oxygen with an oxygen-to-carbon ratio in the range of from 1.0 to 10 with the partial oxidation catalyst, in which process the regeneration time interval is in the range of from 2 to 10 seconds and the ratio of the reaction time interval to the regeneration time interval is at most 40.
