Ethylene to Ethane Catalyst Kinetics

Description

Ethylene hydrogenation is a catalyst kinetics experiment that converts ethylene (C2H4) into ethane (C2H6). It is often used as a model reduction reaction for testing new metal catalysts. In this study, supported nickel is used. It is not the most active catalyst for this reaction, but it works well enough for the reaction to...

Transcript

I catalizzatori sono materiali che vengono aggiunti ai sistemi di reazione per aumentare la velocità di reazione. Poiché i catalizzatori non vengono consumati nella reazione, vengono utilizzati in molti processi su scala industriale. I catalizzatori aumentano la velocità di reazione fornendo un percorso meccanicistico alternativo con un'energia ...
