Abstract
An apparatus and method for pretreatment of fuel in a combustion device such as an internal combustion engine, in which a fuel is partially combusted by a catalytic reaction to form a high temperature hydrogen-rich product gas, which gas is thereafter directly injected into an oxidizing atmosphere in the combustion chamber of the device. A composite catalyst is utilized constituted by diverse catalytic materials to achieve different contributing effects on the catalytic combustion process by the respective materials, particularly the inhibition of coke formation by the use of magnesium oxide, and platinum to achieve low temperature ignition and partial combustion of a fuel-oxidizer mixture.
