Murib, J H

A method is described for selectively oxidizing carbon monoxide in a gaseous reaction medium containing a hydrocarbon which comprises: (a) introducing a gas containing carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and, based on the amount of carbon monoxide, a stoichiometric amount or greater of oxygen into an oxidation reaction zone containing a catalytically effective amount of supported cobalt oxide catalyst; (b) reacting the carbon monoxide and oxygen in the reaction zone at an elevated temperature and for a period of time effective to provide substantially complete conversion of the carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and no significant oxidation of the hydrocarbon.
