Abstract

Investigations have been made of the reliability of the calorimetric bead system for studying the kinetics of catalytic reactions. Measurements of the rate of dissipation of energy from a catalytic reactor in both unreactive and reactive gaseous atmospheres show that the change in temperature of the reactor during an individual experiment accurately reflects the overall rate of the chemical changes taking place at the surface of the reactor. The applicability of the bead system has also been tested directly with reference to the oxidation of methane over palladium. The rate measurements are consistent with independent analyses of the reaction products.
