A catalytic process for the generation of hydrogen by the partial oxidation of hydrocarbons, especially alkanes such as methane or hexane. The preferred catalyst system comprises from 0.01 to 5 wt % platinum and from 1 to 15 wt % chromium oxide supported on a refractory solid such as silica. Also a

A catalytic process for the generation of hydrogen by the partial oxidation of hydrocarbons, especially alkanes such as methane or hexane. The preferred catalyst system comprises from 0.01 to 5 wt % platinum and from 1 to 15 wt % chromium oxide supported on a refractory solid such as silica. Also a reactor for effecting the process in which the reactants are injected into or among the catalyst system and a technique for starting the process at ambient temperature by introducing an initiating compound such as methanol into the catalyst system.

A process for generating hydrogen by the partial oxidation of a hydrocarbon, which process does not require the application of external heat for the process to proceed, and which comprises injecting into at least one point amongst a mass of a catalyst consisting essentially of platinum and chromium oxide supported on a refractory solid catalyst support, a mixture comprising a hydrocarbon and oxygen, the point of injection having a local temperature of from 700°to 1000°C. the hydrocarbon reacting with the oxygen to generate said hydrogen.
