Abstract: Ihe use of a catalyst to speed combustion of gas-air mixtures was recorded as early as 1817 by Sir Humphrey Davy. He concluded that hot solids, particularly the platinum group, speed the oorrbustion of gas at realtively lew temperatures. Further research in 1912 by Bone and collaborators into the discovery by Davy determined that: 1. All surfaces possess the power (in varying degrees) to accelerate gaseous ocaibustion at terrperatures below the ignition point. 2. Acceleration is dependent vxun absorbtion of gas by the surface. 3. Tests determined that platinum was a very good catalyst for surface ccntousticn and was proven to be most dependable as a catalyst.
