We made a TAP-like reactor as an attachment for TM+ (Fig.29) to analyze the NSR reaction. A quartz tube with a 4.5mm internal diameter and a length of 3Hmm is inserted into the TAP-like reactor with TM+. The time resolution of a transient reaction analysis with TAP is lower than that with TM-t-, because the time profile of reactants and products with TAP is obtained as the result of multistcp reaction and diffusion, which arc caused by the tube reactor shape instead of the planar catalyst. The most important advantages of TAP arc to evaluate the amount of decrease of reactant gas and product quantitatively. 

So far we have proven that not only nitrates are stored onto Fe- (and Cu-) zeolite catalysts in the presence of NO2, but also that they do participate effectively in the NH3-SCR catalytic chemistry, being indeed responsible for the very high DeNOx activity associated with the Fast SCR reaction. In the next paragraph we make use of transient reaction analysis to elucidate in more detail the reactivity of surface nitrates with NO and NH3, i.e., the SCR reactants in so doing, we will also explore the individual steps of the Fast SCR mechanism. 

In such a chemistry, the reactivity demonstrated in the previous paragraphs attributes the following roles to the three main SCR reactants (1) NO2 forms surface nitrates and nitrites via a disproportionation route (2) NO reduces the nitrates to nitrites (3) NH3 decomposes/reduces the nitrites to N2. The related basic reaction steps, originally identified by transient reaction analysis and recently confirmed also by in situ FT-IR [10] over Fe-ZSM-5, are summarized in Table 9.1.

In this contribution, the steady-state isotopic transient kinetic analysis-diffuse reflectance Fourier transform spectroscopy (SSITKA-DRIFTS) method provides further support to the conclusion that not only are infrared active formates likely intermediates in the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction, in agreement with the mechanism proposed by Shido and Iwasawa for Rh/ceria, but designing catalysts based on formate C-H bond weakening can lead to significantly higher... 

An effective approach to help address the issues involved in controlling catalyst performance is to formulate and analyze reaction schemes that describe the essential chemistry taking place on the catalyst surface. This approach has been used successfully in catalysis research for many years. We suggest that this approach will see increased use in catalysis research. Specifically, continuing improvements in computer capabilities allow rapid analysis of complex reaction schemes for all common reactor configurations (e.g., reactors operating at steady state as well as under transient reaction conditions and nonisothermal reactors). Moreover, recent advances in quantum... 

Unlike the standard protocols for steady-state kinetic analysis, transient kinetic analysis is dependent on the availability of signals to measure individual steps of the reaction. Moreover, the observable kinetics change and can be complex or deceivingly simple depending on the relative magnitudes of sequential steps in a pathway. The rule of thumb is that one exponential phase exists in the time dependence of a reaction for each step in the pathway. For example, the kinetics of signals observable according to Scheme 2 will follow a triple exponential function Y =Ai e A- + A2 - A3 -f c. Moreover,... 

The model for a—j3 intersubunit communication indicates that it is the formation of the aminoacrylate species that leads to activation of the a reaction. When both serine and IGP are added simultaneously to the enzyme in a single enzyme turnover experiment, there is a lag in the cleavage of IGP that is a function of the reaction of serine to form the aminoacrylate species. Accordingly, amino acids other than serine that can undergo dehydration to form the aminoacrylate such as cysteine should serve as alternate substrates but should lead to a longer lag for the a subunit activation as determined by transient kinetic analysis. Cysteine does... 

A large amount of N2O was formed from the initial stage over LaM03 (M = Co, Mn, Fe, Cr, Ni) at 573 K. The time course of the NO+CO reaction (performed in a batch recirculation system) reflects this situation. These results support a two-step reaction pathway in which N2O is an intermediate for nitrogen formation, deal et al. (1994) confirm the role of N2O as intermediate in this reaction over perovskite oxides. They used steady-state isotopic transient kinetic analysis to study the mechanism of NO + CO reaction over LaCo03. They concluded that N2O was an intermediate in the formation of N2 at T < 873 K. They also concluded that at high temperature CO2 desorption became the rate-limiting step of the overall reaction. This is likely due to the rapid formation and slow decomposition of very stable carbonates on the perovskite surface as reported by Milt et al. (1996). 

In SSITKA (steady-state isotopic transient kinetic analysis) developed and actively applied by Happel, Biloen and Goodwin, it is common to consider the catalyst surface to be composed of a system of interconnected pools, also termed compartments, where each pool represents a homogeneous or well-mixed subsystem within the reaction pathway. 

Steady-state isotopic transient kinetic analysis (SSITKA) shows that the deactivation of the methanation reaction after water treatment is due to a decrease in the number of active sites, while the intrinsic site activity apparently remains unchanged. 

The transient kinetic analysis of the isotopic exchange H/D is a direct and useful method to investigate the transformation of the catalytic surfaces under different reaction conditions. These experiments prove that there is a strong variation among the OH population over the oxides in the hydrogen stream zis a function of the temperature and of the nature of the oxidic support of Ni catalysts.
