Abstract
Isothermal self-sustained kinetic oscillations in CO oxidation over silica-supported Pt at near-atmospheric pressure were studied by combined in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The use of a specially designed reactor and careful choice of the physical properties of the catalyst and reaction conditions made it possible to eliminate diffusion limitations, to determine the maximum CO oxidation rate per Pt site in the purely kinetic regime and to clarify the mechanism of the oscillations. Specifically, our results indicate that during the high reactive periods the reaction mainly occurs on the oxide surface.
