Calculation of kinetic parameters

Figure 7.14. The temperature-programmed reaction and corresponding Arrhenius plot based on rate expression (21) enables the calculation of kinetic parameters for the elementary surface reaction between CO and O atoms on a Rh(lOO) surface.

Calculation of kinetic parameters - In the experiments carried out in the single autoclave the H2 pressure was not maintained and the consumption of H2 controlled the conversion of AcOBu, which could be described by pseudo-first order rate constant. In the activity tests performed in SPR16 the conversion of AcOBu increased linearly up to ca. 50 % with reaction time. Initial reaction rates were calculated from AcOBu conversion vs. reaction time dependence, the initial concentration of substrate and the amount of catalyst or the amount of promoters in 1 g of catalyst.

Most of the theoretical details of the material covered in this chapter can be found in Coveil et al. (4), Jacquez and Simon (5), and Jacquez (6). Of particular importance to this chapter is the material covered in Coveil et al. (4) in which the relationships between the calculation of kinetic parameters from statistical moments and the same parameters calculated from the rate constants of a linear, constant-coefficient compartmental model are derived. Jacquez and Simon (5) discuss in detail the mathematical properties of systems that depend upon local mass balance this forms the basis for understanding compartmental models and the simplifications that result from certain assumptions about a system under study. Berman (7) gives examples using metabolic turnover data, while the examples provided in Gibaldi and Perrier (8) and Rowland and Tozer (9) are more familiar to clinical phar maco logists. 

The most consistent way to develop a theoretical kinetic model of a complex process can be described as follows. First, we determine the list of species participating in the process, and then compile a set of elementary reactions based on the fullness principle. The most logical step after this would consist of ab initio calculations of kinetic parameters for elementary reactions included into the model (kinetic scheme). If the parameters calculated in this way are in significant contradiction with values obtained from independent experiments, this should cause a re-consideration of the underlying principles of both the calculations and the experimental measurements. However, this must not influence the core of the model and values of other kinetic parameters. 

Before the advent of computer technology and computational methods, the linear transformations of the Michaelis-Menten equation were extensively used for the calculation of kinetic parameters (Allison Puiich, 1979) with the aid of a linear transformation of rectangular hyperbola, one can calculate with precision the asymptotes (Kmax and Kjd by linear regression (Fig. 5). The merits of various transformations were estimated with respect to the statistical bias inherent in most linear transformations of the Michaelis-Menten equation (Wilkinson, 1961 Johanson Lumry, 1961 Johanson Faunt, 1992 Straume Johnson, 1992 Ritchie Prvan, 1996). The detailed statistical treatment of initial rate data, however, is presented in Chapter 18. 

Calculation of Kinetic Parameters and Polymer Formation Behavior... 

The interest in the analysis of the dependencies of equilibrium potential on composition of cathode materials for lithium-metal cells appeared in the late-1970s [2-8] where phase composition and phase transitions of oxides and hal-cogenides of transient metals upon lithiation were discussed. The usefulness of the simultaneous scrutiny of the equilibrium potential together with its tanpera-ture coefficient was first proved in several works [9-13] published soon after. The approach to the calculation of kinetic parameters using the thermodynamic data, which is the subject of this chapter, has been proposed [14-16] later. In early 2000, new interest in the method has arisen, both in the thermodynamics of the processes within the electrodes for lithium-ion cells [17-22] and in the connection between thermodynamic functions and kinetic parameters [23]. In the series of recent works, M. Bazant [24] described the development of the fundamental theory of electrochemical kinetics and charge transfer applied to lithium iron phosphate (LFP).

Apart from this approach which implies the evidence of Tmax, there is another which includes the value of peak width in the analysis. Also, many authors rely on the application of other, even more simplified methods that enable the calculation of kinetic parameters. Particularly popular among surface scientists are the Redhead s and Kissinger s methods.
