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

Catalisadores são materiais adicionados aos sistemas de reação para aumentar a taxa de reação. Como os catalisadores não são consumidos na reação, eles são utilizados em muitos processos em escala industrial. Os catalisadores aumentam a taxa de reação, fornecendo uma via mecanicista alternativa com uma energia de ativação mais baixa, que é a ene...
