Abstract

A combustion enhancing catalyst is deposited on a particulate refractory substrate such as sand. The solid fuel is contacted with the impregnated substrate and burned, for example, in a fluidized bed combustor. The substrate and catalyst remains in the combustor thereby obviating problems of catalyst loss and adverse effects of emitted metal particles.
