MULTI-FUEL COMBUSTION ON PARTIALLY CATALYST-COATED HONEYCOMBS

In this work, we investigated the use of partially coated monoliths as catalytic combustors for syngas/methane mixtures in the presence of significant CO2 partial pressure. In particular, the effects of CO2 content and partial coating degree were studied on perovskite-based monoliths. Results have shown that syngas substitution to methane is effective in improving the resistance to the inhibiting effect of carbon dioxide. It has been found that the operative window of the reactor is dependent on both, catalyst-coating degree and CO2 partial pressure.
