A fuel tank inerting system is disclosed. In addition to a fuel tank, the system includes a catalytic reactor with an inlet, an outlet, a reactive flow path between the inlet and the outlet, and a catalyst on the reactive flow path. The catalytic reactor is arranged to receive fuel from the fuel tank and air from an air source, and to react the fuel and air along the reactive flow path to generate an inert gas. The system also includes an inert gas flow path from the catalytic reactor to the fuel tank. The system also includes a non-uniform catalyst composition along the reactive flow path.

A method is disclosed for removing ozone from a gas. According to this method, the gas is contacted with an adsorbent that includes a transition metal oxide or metal organic framework to form a treated gas. The treated gas is contacted with a noble metal catalyst to catalytically decompose ozone in the treated gas, thereby forming an ozone-depleted treated gas.

A fuel tank inerting system is disclosed. The system includes a fuel tank and a catalytic reactor. The catalytic reactor is arranged to receive a first reactant from a first reactant source and to receive a second reactant from a second reactant source, and to react the first and second reactants to generate an inert gas. The system also includes an inert gas flow path from the catalytic reactor to the fuel tank. The catalytic reactor includes first, second, and third flow paths. The first flow path includes receives a first reactant and includes a reactive flow path including a catalyst. The second flow path receives a second reactant source and is in operative fluid communication with the first flow path through a first barrier between the first and second flow paths that is permeable to the second reactant. The third flow path receives a fluid coolant.
