Methods of kinetic analysis that involve fitting of experimental data to assumed forms of the reaction model (first-order, second order, etc.) normally result in highly uncertain Arrhenius parameters. This is because errors in the form of the assumed reaction model can be masked by compensating errors in the values of E and A. The isoconversional technique eliminates the shortcomings associated with model-fitting methods. It assumes the unknown integrated form of the reaction model, g(a), as shown in Eq. (4), to be the same for all experiments.

Both Eq. (107) and (109) in their integrated form represented data at 340 °C equally well. Equation (109) could, however, be adapted better to an Arrhenius plot than Eq. (107).

Some problems in functional optimization can be solved analytically. A topic known as the calculus of variations is included in most courses in advanced calculus. It provides ground rules for optimizing integral functionals. The ground rules are necessary conditions analogous to the derivative conditions (i.e., df jdx = 0) used in the optimization of ordinary functions. In principle, they allow an exact solution but the solution may only be implicit or not in a useful form. For problems involving Arrhenius temperature dependence, a numerical solution will be needed sooner or later. 

Finally, one can also perform a complete analysis by integrating the TPD curves, and finding sets of rates and temperatures corresponding to the same coverage. Such data can be plotted in the form of Arrhenius plots. Hoivever, this is both tedious and time-consuming, and has rarely been performed. [D.A. King, Surf. Sci. 47 (1975) 384]. 

Parameter estimation. Integral reactor behavior was used for the interpretation of the experimental data, using N2O conversion levels up to 70%. The temperature dependency of the rate parameters was expressed in the Arrhenius form. The apparent rate parameters have been estimated by nonlinear least-squares methods, minimizing the sum of squares of the residual N2O conversion. Transport limitations could be neglected. 

Note that we have taken the lower bound of the integral as 0 rather than the initial temperature Ta. For realistic parameter values, this introduces a negligible error into the expression for x, as k(T )dT is very small. The reason for this modification is that we may then go on to find a convenient closed form expression for x (shown subsequently). So, assuming an Arrhenius form for k, on integration of Equation 18.22 by parts it follows that...

Fits of two principal reaction mechanisms, both of which have the above general form, were made, after initial trials of rate expressions corresponding to mechanisms with other forms of rate expression had resulted in the rejection of these forms. In the above equation the Molecular Adsorption Model (MAM) predicts n=2, m=l while the Dissociative Adsorption Model (DAM) leads to n=2, m=l/2. The two mechanisms differ in that MAM assumes that adsorbed molecular oxygen reacts with adsorbed carbon monoxide molecules, both of which reside on identical sites. Alternatively, the DAM assumes that the adsorbed oxygen molecules dissociate into atoms before reaction with the adsorbed carbon monoxide molecules, once more both residing on identical sites. The two concentration exponents, referred to as orders of reaction, are temperature independent and integral. All the other constants are temperature dependent and follow the Arrhenius relationship. These comprise lq, a catalytic rate constant, and two adsorption equilibrium constants K all subject to the constraints described in Chapter 9. Notice that a mechanistic rate expression always presumes that the rate is measured at constant volume.
