This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project focuses on the development of a novel combinatorial technique for the discovery of natural gas combustion catalysts. The technique enables rapid parallel screening of multiple catalyst formulations in a realistic combustion environment, thereby greatly accelerating the speed and accuracy with which catalysts can be evaluated. Many existing combinatorial techniques are not suitable for combustion catalyst development because the catalyst screening element does not adequately mimic a combustion environment. The technique discussed in this proposal addresses this issue by using a catalytic reactor design that closely represents designs that are used in the practice of catalytic combustion in gas turbine engine applications. The aim of the proposed work is to demonstrate this technique and apply it to developing more durable, better performing natural gas combustion catalysts. If successful, this combinatorial approach could be used to aid in the discovery of catalysts for other high temperature applications. Successful development of this technique could greatly accelerate the development of durable catalysts for high temperature catalytic combustion of natural gas. This would result in greater acceptance and application of this technology in areas such as gas turbines for ground based power generation. Catalytic combustion offers the promise for reduction of greenhouse gas and toxic gas (e.g. NOx) emissions. Other spinout applications would include application of this combinatorial technique to other areas of high temperature catalyst development.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目的重点是开发一种新的组合技术，用于发现天然气燃烧催化剂。该技术能够在真实的燃烧环境中快速并行筛选多个催化剂配方，从而大大加快了评估催化剂的速度和准确性。许多现有的组合技术不适合于燃烧催化剂的开发，因为催化剂筛选元件不能充分模拟燃烧环境。本提案中讨论的技术通过使用催化反应器设计来解决这一问题，该催化反应器设计紧密地代表了燃气轮机发动机应用中催化燃烧实践中使用的设计。这项拟议工作的目的是演示这项技术，并将其应用于开发更耐用、性能更好的天然气燃烧催化剂。如果成功，这种组合方法可以用来帮助发现用于其他高温应用的催化剂。该技术的成功开发将极大地促进天然气高温催化燃烧耐用催化剂的发展。这将导致这项技术在诸如用于地面发电的燃气轮机等领域得到更多的接受和应用。催化燃烧有望减少温室气体和有毒气体(如NOx)的排放。其他衍生应用将包括将这种组合技术应用于高温催化剂开发的其他领域。
