Modelling of Oscillations in CO Oxidation

The oxidation of CO over Pt/Al203 catalyst can be represented with an elementary step model described in equation (1), together with an extra equation for the adsorption of CO2 on the support [Pg.11]

Neglect reaction between adsorbed O2 and gaseous CO (Eley-Rideal step). [Pg.11]

The model equations describing the response of a well stirred reactor catalysing the above reaction system are [Pg.11]

The rate constants are in dimensionless form. The differential equations for the two gases (Ci and Q) and their corresponding surface concentrations (C4 and Q) can be represented in a simplified form as [Pg.11]
