Time Decay of the Activity of the Reduction Reaction of NO by CO on a Pd/Al2O3 Catalyst

摘要

An experimental study is made of the time decay of activity of the CO-NO reaction on a Pd/Al2O3 looking at the effect on reaction order and apparent activation energy. The optimum kinetics parameters fitting the steady state data at moderate pressures are determined. The time decay curves are analyzed through various catalyst deactivation models.
