Estimation of Kinetic Parameters from Experimental Data

Estimation of Kinetic Parameters from Experimental Data 

The rate constants included in the kinetic expressions, rate equations, can seldom be estimated theoretically based on fundamental theories, such as collision and transition state theories, but an experimental determination of the reaction rates in laboratory-scale reactors is usually unavoidable. Based on experimentally recorded reactant and product concentrations, it is possible to estimate the numerical values of rate constants. Below we will give a brief introduction of the procedures involved in the data acquisition and estimation of kinetic parameters.
