Abstract
A method for operating a palladium oxide containing catalytic combustor useful, e.g., for powering a gas turbine. The method involves maintaining control of the temperature within the combustor in such a manner as to insure the presence of palladium oxide. By maintaining the temperature below about 800.degree. C. decomposition of palladium oxide into metallic palladium is avoided and high catalytic activity is retained. Regeneration of catalyst following inactivation resulting from an over-temperature is accomplished by using a heat soak in the temperature range of about 530.degree. C.-650.degree. C.
