Abstract The partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas has been studied in an isothermal continuous flow reactor operated with the phases in plug flow, using a silica-supported palladium catalyst. The reaction mechanism involves the sequential combustion and reforming of methane. The catalyst bed is not uniform in terms of the composition of the palladium phase. The implications for investigations using a pulse apparatus are discussed. Finally, large palladium crystallites readily grow carbon filaments.
