Engineered Sulfur-Resistant Catalyst System with an Assisted Regeneration Strategy for Lean-Burn Methane Combustion.

ABSTRACT: Catalytic combustion of methane, the main component of natural gas, is a challenge under lean-burn conditions and at low temperatures owing to sulfur poisoning of the Pd-rich catalyst. This paper introduces a more sulfur-resistant catalyst system that can be regenerated during operation. The developed catalyst system lowers the barrier that has restrained the use of liquefied natural gas as a fuel in energy production.
