Abstract
A catalyst for catalytic partial oxidation of hydrocarbon, having high thermal shock resistance, and a process for producing a synthesis gas using the catalyst are provided. A catalyst for catalytic partial oxidation of hydrocarbon is used in producing a synthesis gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen by adding oxygen and steam to a raw material hydrocarbon, thereby subjecting the raw material hydrocarbon to catalytic partial oxidation, and comprises a carrier comprising an inorganic oxide and an active metal supported thereon. In the catalyst, the total of volume of pores having a pore diameter in a first range of from 0.1 μm to less than 1.0 μm is 32% or more of the whole pore volume, and the total of volume of pores having a pore diameter in a second range of from 1.0 μm to 10 μm or less is 14% or more of the whole pore volume.
