Abstract: | The present study concerns an experimental microkinetic approach of the photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) into acetone on a pure anatase TiO2 solid according to a procedure previously developed. Mainly, the kinetic parameters of each surface elementary step of a plausible kinetic model of the PCO of IPA are experimentally determined: natures and amounts of the adsorbed species and rate constants (preexponential factors and activation energies). These kinetic parameters are used to evaluate a priori the catalytic activity (turnover frequency, TOF, in s(-1)) of the solid that is compared to the experimental value. The kinetics parameters are obtained by using experiments in the transient regime with either a FTIR or a mass spectrometer as a detector. The microkinetic study shows that only strongly adsorbed IPA species (two species denoted nd-IPA(sads) and d-IPA(sads) due to non- and dissociative chemisorption of IPA respectively) are involved in the PCO of IPA. A strong competitive chemisorption between IPA(sads) and a strongly adsorbed acetone species controls the high selectivity in acetone of the PCO at a high coverage of the surface by IPA(sads). The apparent rate constant (1.4 10(-3) s(-1)) of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood elementary step between IPA(sads) and the active oxygen containing species generated by the UV irradiation provides the TOF of the PCO for IPA/O2 gas mixtures. The kinetic parameters of the elementary steps determined by the experimental microkinetic approach allow us to provide a reasonable simulation of the experimental data (coverages of the adsorbed species and partial pressures of the gases of interest) recorded during a static PCO of IPA(sads) species. |
