Transient kinetics in heterogeneous catalysis by metals

Site requirements in the kinetics of alkane transformations catalysed by metals

“…Finally I do not want to forget to mention all the work performed by ''Freddy'' using Transient Chemical Kinetics [79,80]. He realized -as did Tamaru in pioneering work of the 1960s -that catalytic reaction mechanisms have to be studied by truly in-situ methods.…”

Generalized kinetic model for iron and cobalt based Fischer–Tropsch synthesis catalysts: Review and model evaluation

“…Another mechanism proposed recently is "formate" mechanism [16]. The differences between proposed mechanisms arise from different assumptions for monomer and initiator forms and formation chemistry.…”

“…It was found that there is a very close relationship between CO partial pressure in gas phase and chain lengthening on the catalyst surface [16,28,29] so it was concluded that CO in gas phase acts likely as the inserting monomer.…”

Chemical Reaction Engineering of Biomass Conversion

“…Later on, heterogeneous catalysis started to be widely used in the field of classical organic chemistry, for example, for the production of fine chemicals. In general, the kinetic analysis is limited to the cases when it is assumed that a given surface intermediate needs only one site for adsorption, neglecting totally the possible multisite adsorption (Frennet and Hubert, 2000). Moreover, in the catalysis involving complex organic molecules with different functional groups, not only the number of sites but also the mode of adsorption is an important issue.…”
