A Sn-Mo-O catalyst was prepared, characterized, and tested in the partial oxidation of methanol under different experimental conditions. A kinetic model which assumes that the reaction involves different active sites such as terminal and bridged oxygen vacancy sites, terminal oxygen (ModO), and dual dioxo sites (two adjacent surface dioxo units) has been selected. The experimental observations and the predictions of the model show a rather good agreement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
