Langmuir reaction kinetics

The model considers the noble-metal catalyzed oxidation reactions of CO, two hydrocarbons of differing reactivities and H2, and the reaction kinetics was described by the global rate expressions of the dual-site Langmuir-Hinshelwood type [2]. 

It is well known that photocatalytic oxidation of or nic pollutants follows Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics[6]. Therefore, this kind of reaction can be represented as follows. 

A reason for using microkinetics in heterogeneous catalysis is to have comprehensive kinetics and a transparent reaction mechanism that wonld be useful for re or design or catalyst development. Furthermore, in the long run, the exparimental effort to develop a microkinetics scheme can be less than that for a Langmuir-Hinshelwood (LH) or powa--law scheme because of the more fundamental nature of the reaction kinetics parameters. 

Langmuir s research on how oxygen gas deteriorated the tungsten filaments of light bulbs led to a theory of adsorption that relates the surface concentration of a gas to its pressure above the surface (1915). This, together with Taylor s concept of active sites on the surface of a catalyst, enabled Hinshelwood in around 1927 to formulate the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics that we still use today to describe catalytic reactions. Indeed, research in catalysis was synonymous with kinetic analysis... 

In Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics is it assumed that all species are adsorbed and accommodated (in thermal equilibrium) with the surface before they take part in any reactions. Hence, species react in the chemisorbed state on the surface. This is the prevailing situation in heterogeneous catalysis.

The fitting of space relaxation data using Eq. (1) to this mechanistic scheme (space relaxation data are always isothermal, because transient temperature effects are not relevant for the amplitude change of a concentration disturbance this is just an advantage of wavefront analysis of reaction kinetics), reported in (3, 5, 12), supposing a Langmuir type chemisorption for (CO) and (I O) has confirmed that (see Figure 10, 11) ... 

The limitations of analytical solutions may also interfere with the illustration of important features of reactions and of reactors. The consequences of linear behavior, such as first-order kinetics, may be readily demonstrated in most cases by analytical techniques, but those of nonlinear behavior, such as second-order or Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics, generally require numerical techniques. 

Wheeler, Schmidt, and coworkers—kinetic model for Pt/Ce at short contact times over medium to high T range. In 2004, Wheeler and coworkers422 reported on the water-gas shift reaction over Pt/ceria at short contact times (0.008-0.05 sec) for temperatures between 300 and 1000 °C. The reactant composition for CO, H2, and H20 was 1/2/4. A Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model was used to adequately fit the medium and high temperature shift data ... 

Kinetics of the photooxidation of organic water impurities on illuminated titania surfaces has been generally regarded to be based on the Langmuir-Hinshelwood equation with first-order reaction kinetics vs. initial substrate concentration was established univocally by many authors... 

Based on Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics the rate expression for a first order reaction (A —> R) that is surface reaction-controlled becomes equal to the following expression [2] ...

These rate expressions are for Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics, which are the simplest forms of surface reaction rates one could possibly find We know of no reactions that are this simple. LH kinetics requires several assumptions ... 

In this rate expression we have lumped C/js into the effective surface rate coefficient by defining k" — CC s- AU sohd reactions have reaction steps similar to those in catalytic reactions, and the rate expressions we need to consider are basically Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics, which were considered in Chapter 7. Our use of a first-order irreversible rate expression is obviously a simplification of the more complex rate expressions that can arise from these situations. 

Liquid phase hydrogenation catalyzed by Pd/C is a heterogeneous reaction occurring at the interface between the solid catalyst and the liquid. In our one-pot process, the hydrogenation was initiated after aldehyde A and the Schiff s base reached equilibrium conditions (A B). There are three catalytic reactions A => D, B => C, and C => E, that occur simultaneously on the catalyst surface. Selectivity and catalytic activity are influenced by the ability to transfer reactants to the active sites and the optimum hydrogen-to-reactant surface coverage. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic approach is coupled with the quasi-equilibrium and the two-step cycle concepts to model the reaction scheme (1,2,3). Both A and B are adsorbed initially on the surface of the catalyst. Expressions for the elementary surface reactions may be written as follows ... 

When a simple, fast and robust model with global kinetics is the aim, the reaction kinetics able to predict correctly the rate of CO, H2 and hydrocarbons oxidation under most conditions met in the DOC consist of semi-empirical, pseudo-steady state kinetic expressions based on Langmuir-Hinshelwood surface reaction mechanism (cf., e.g., Froment and Bischoff, 1990). Such rate laws were proposed for CO and C3H6 oxidation in Pt/y-Al203 catalytic mufflers in the presence of NO already by Voltz et al. (1973) and since then this type of kinetics has been successfully employed in many models of oxidation and three-way catalytic monolith converters... 

We begin with the simplest model scheme for a heterogeneously catalysed reaction, with Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics. A reactant P is adsorbed, reversibly, onto a surface S. There it may react to give a product C. which is immediately and irreversibly desorbed ... 

The other approach is based on the Langmuir—Hinshelwood kinetics. In all the work using this approach, the surface reaction of adsorbed olefin and water was found, or postulated, to be the rate-determining step. The corresponding rate equation has the form... 

The second model results from a bimolecular surface reaction, A + B — products, with competitive Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics, which occurs in a heterogeneous differential reactor with perfectly mixed gas phase. The reaction is first order in both adsorbed A and B, and two vacant sites are required in the reaction mechanism. If the reaction products desorb immediately, the... 

Aniline is a compound used in the synthesis of insecticides, chemical brighteners, and dyes and is a by-product of the petroleum, paper, and coal industries. The photocatalytic oxidation of aniline was studied by Sanchez et al. (1997). The reaction was found to follow Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics. The adsorption rate constant and the reaction rate constants were also reported. Higher yields were reported for acidic conditions and values near the pH at the point of zero charge (pHpZC) of Ti02. The rate of photocatalytic oxidation was also found to increase with the addition of small amounts of Fe. Hydroquinone is the main intermediate formed from the reaction. Photocatalytic reactions were carried out in a 130-cm3 cylindrical Pyrex cell. Medium-pressure mercury lamps provided UV light. Initial concentrations of 1.0 x 104 and 2 g/L were prepared. The pH of the solutions was adjusted and reactions were carried out for 15 min. Concentrations of aniline and byproducts formed were determined by HPLC.
