Kinetics of the Carbon Monoxide Oxidation Reaction Under Microwave Heating
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
915 MHz microwave heating has been used to drive the CO oxidation reaction over Pd/Al2O3 without significantly affecting the reaction kinetics. As compared to an identical conventionally heated system, the activation energy, pre-exponential factor, and reaction order with respect to CO were unchanged. Temperature was measured using a thermocouple extrapolation technique. Microwave-induced thermal gradients were found to play a significant role in kinetic observations.
