Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'obtention de gaz de synthèse par oxydation catalytique partielle, consistant à mettre en contact un hydrocarbure à l'état gazeux et un gaz oxydant, ainsi qu'éventuellement une faible quantité de vapeur d'eau, en présence d'un catalyseur comprenant au moins un carbure de silicium, à une température supérieure à 800 °C. Selon l'invention, le carbure de silicium a une surface spécifique déterminée par la méthode BET inférieure ou égale à 100 m2/g, le temps de contact entre le mélange de l'hydrocarbure gazeux, du gaz oxydant et éventuellement de la vapeur d'eau et le carbure de silicium est supérieur à 0,05 seconde et la pression à l'intérieur du réacteur est supérieure à la pression atmosphérique.
