Abstract
A combustor for supporting the catalytic combustion of a gaseous carbonaceous fuel/air combustion mixture contains a catalyst zone in which is disposed a catalyst body comprising at least a first and a second catalyst member and further contains a downstream zone where homogeneous combustion occurs. Each catalyst member is comprised of a carrier body having a catalyst material deposited thereon. The first carrier is made of a silica-magnesia-alumina material comprised primarily of cordierite, mullite and corundum and the second carrier is made of a ceramic fiber matrix material comprising ceramic (alumina-boron oxide-silica) fibers in a silicon carbide matrix.
