Pt/Al2O3nano structured catalysts have been prepared by the Yoldas method and washcoated on the cordierite honeycomb monolith. This catalysts was tested in partial oxidation of methane. The fresh catalyst was characterized by XRD, TPR, TEM, BET and porosimetery. A central composite design was performed to study catalytic tests. Furnace temperature, methane flow rate, and methane composition in feed were considered as independent variables and CH4 conversion, CO and H2selectivities were considered as responses. Empirical models of the responses were obtained. The adequacies of the models were checked by analysis of variance. The results showed that furnace temperature has the largest effect on the responses.
