摘要
The NO/O-2/H-2 reaction under strongly oxidising conditions has been studied over a 5% Pt/SiO2 catalyst using Steady-State Isotopic Transient Kinetic Analysis (SSITKA). The N-14-containing reactants and products were monitored following a (NO)-N-14/O-2/ H-2 --> (NO)-N-15/O-2/H-2 switch. N2O was found to be the isotopically first product and N-2 the isotopically second. It was found that there was a constant desorption of NO from the catalyst surface under steady-state conditions. Recently introduced transformations (IDIMP, TRIMP, and the semilogarithmic plot of the ce function versus time) of the product profiles, which concentrate on the isotopic distribution of the product molecules following the (NO)-N-14 --> (NO)-N-15 switch, are used to analyse the mechanism of N-2 formation from this reaction. These show that N-2 formation is predominantly through an "impact" route in which gaseous or physisorbed NO reacts with a reduced N species on the catalyst in a modified Eley-Rideal mechanism. A second, less active, mode of N-2 formation is through the interaction of two equivalent species on the surface, each of which gives one N atom to the N-2 molecule. The presence of O-2 results in a change in the relative contribution of each type of N-2 production. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
