Abstract

Reaction kinetics and catalyst deactivation during the redn. of NO with CO on a 0.5%Pt-3.4%MoO3/a-Al2O3 catalyst were investigated. The reaction shows an ignition/quenching behavior. After ignition, the reaction kinetics (formation of N2 and N2O) obey the bimol. Langmuir-Hinshelwood equations, in accordance with a dissociative mechanism. A slow catalyst deactivation is obsd. under reductive conditions (pCO >> pNO). The proposed mechanism comprises the formation of electron-withdrawing isocyanates on the Pt surface which slow down the Pt-CO bond formation, which is typical for the quenched state. It is pointed out that the isocyanates delay the formation of the quenched state but that the low activity in the quenched state is due to adsorbed CO.

Heterogeneous catalysis

Heterogeneous catalysis is catalysis where the phase of catalysts differs from that of the reactants or products. The process contrasts with homogeneous catalysis where the reactants, products and catalyst exist in the same phase. Phase distinguishes between not only solid, liquid, and gas components, but also immiscible mixtures (e.g. oil and water), or anywhere an interface is present. Heterogeneous catalysis typically involves solid phase catalysts and gas phase reactants.

Chemical kinetics

Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the branch of physical chemistry that is concerned with understanding the rates of chemical reactions. It is different from chemical thermodynamics, which deals with the direction in which a reaction occurs but in itself tells nothing about its rate. Chemical kinetics includes investigations of how experimental conditions influence the speed of a chemical reaction and yield information about the reaction's mechanism and transition states, as well as the construction of mathematical models that also can describe the characteristics of a chemical reaction.

Enzyme kinetics

Enzyme kinetics is the study of the rates of enzyme-catalysed chemical reactions. In enzyme kinetics, the reaction rate is measured and the effects of varying the conditions of the reaction are investigated. Studying an enzyme's kinetics in this way can reveal the catalytic mechanism of this enzyme, its role in metabolism, how its activity is controlled, and how a drug or a modifier (inhibitor or activator) might affect the rate. An enzyme (E) is typically a protein molecule that promotes a reaction of another molecule, its substrate (S).
