The rate controlling step for reaction involves methane adsorption. Catalyst structure has a marked effect on the kinetics of the reaction. Thus, under certain conditions the rate of reaction over a Ni/Kieselguhr catalyst at 911 K is first order with respect to the partial pressure of CH4 and independent of H2O and product partial P, while for other nickel catalysts the rate depends on the partial P of H2O, H2, and CO. ...
