Abstract

Carbon monoxide dissociative adsorption was studied over silica-supported platinum, rhodium and Pt-Rh alloy catalysts, by Reversed Flow-Gas Chromatography. Using appropriate mathematical analysis physicochemical quantities such as fractional catalytic conversions of CO to CO2, as well as rate constants for the adsorption, desorption and surface reaction, describing the dissociative adsorption of CO, were determined. From the variation of the above parameters against the nature of the studied catalysts (Rh content) useful conclusions concerning the mechanism of CO dissociative adsorption were extracted.
