Abstract
A high-resolution magnetic sector mass spectrometer has been developed and used for transient kinetic measurements on reactions that are important for automotive exhaust gas catalysis. This instrument allows separation of the isobaric masses of CO and N2 as well as CO2 and N2O, which are separately monitored in time at a sampling rate of 48 Hz. The time resolution is sufficient to determine individual kinetic rate parameters for reactions under transient conditions. A description of the experimental set-up as well as the software used is given. The results are illustrated by the catalytic reduction of NO by CO. To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first application of a magnetic sector mass spectrometer for kinetic research under dynamic operation conditions.
