Abstract:
The invention relates to an electrically heated catalyst (EHC, 10) and a start-up method of a gas turbine engine employing an EHC (10) in the combustor (33). The catalyst (10) is electrically heated to a predetermined temperature prior to start up of the turbine system and is turned off when any one of several conditions are met, e.g. the heat of catalytic reaction is sufficient to maintain the catalyst (10) in its steady state condition. The EHC (10) is made of stacked or spirally wound foils (12, 14).
Abstract:
This invention is a catalyst comprising cerium bromide on a baddeleyite phase zirconia support and a process using that catalyst to form elemental bromine. The figure shows an embodiment of the inventive process wherein HBr and oxygen are mixed to form a reactor feedstream (214) which is then introduced into reactor (216) that contains the catalyst. The reaction product stream (218) is cooled and separated to produce the desired Br2 product stream (258).

Abstract:
This invention is a catalyst and a process using that catalyst for oxidizing hydrogen bromide to form elemental bromine. The inventive catalyst composition comprises cerium bromide on certain zirconia containing supports. The zirconia support, preferably largely in the baddeleyite phase, stabilizes the cerium bromide catalyst against cerium oxide formation at operating temperatures and gives the catalyst excellent activity at lower temperatures.
