Activation energies in catalytic oxidation of benzene

The existence of a linear correlation between the apparent activation energy of benzene disappearance and the primary selectivity was demonstrated for a series of vanadia based catalysts. Analysis of this correlation leads to the conclusion that the activation energies of reaction 1 as well as activation energies of reaction 2 in benzene oxidation scheme do not differ significantly over a series of these catalysts.
