Abstract

A catalytic process and device for conversion of liquid or gas carbonaceous matter (6) to a mixture containing hydrogen H2 and carbon monoxide CO is disclosed. The resulting mixture is accompanied by methane CH4 and ethylene C2H4 and the conversion is achieved by a partial oxidization of the carbonaceous matter with the elementary oxygen O2 content in a gas oxidant added to the carbonaceous matter. The carbonaceous matter and gas oxidant come into contact with a catalyst comprising dispersed nickel oxide supported by a refractory for which the melting point exceeds twelve hundred and fifty degrees centigrade. The partial oxidization takes place in a temperature range of between six hundred degrees centigrade and one thousand degrees centigrade.
