Abstract: | Many and varied kinetic laws apply for the extensive oxidation of small amounts of organic compounds on platinum catalysts. Kinetic models for mixture oxidation are sometimes predicted on a principle for simple interaction between individual reactions. The transient response preceding the stationary state has been examined for various such reactions, which gives information for the kinetic models and also shows that the mechanisms are various. These models can be used in industrial catalytic purification.Zelinskii Organic Chemistry Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow.
