Kinetics of no decomposition over Cu/ZSM-5 catalyst

The kinetics of catalytic decomposition of NO over Cu/ZSM-5 catalyst has been studied in an integral flow reactor at atmospheric pressure. Kinetic analysis is based on the assumption that the surface reaction represents the rate-determining step. On the basis of theoretical considerations of different interactions between reactants and catalyst, and experimental evidences, three different mechanistic kinetic models were chosen. Also a power-law model was tested. The best agreement has been achieved with the model
