Abstract:
A general expression for primary catalyst characterization using TAP pulse response data has been obtained for porous and non-porous catalysts, and for one- and two-step irreversible catalytic reactions. Using this expression or the corresponding nomogram, the apparent kinetic parameter can be obtained.
