Lecture 14

1.1

Gas-Solid Interaction

1. N2 + 3H2 > 2N H3
2. catalytic cracking
catalytic rxn vs un-catalysed rxn open rxn O3 > O2 + O
O + O3 > 2O2
2O3 > 3O2
E + CoH < > E CoH
E CoH + S > E CoH S
E CoH S > E Co SH
1

E Co SH > E Co + SH
E Co > E + Co

1.2

selectivity and specificity

A + B > (C )C - desired
A + B > (D )D
A + B > (E )E
Pi = i /i

Lecture 15

H2 + Br2 < > 2HBr

Catalytic rxns are generally cyclic.
E-factor(Sheldon) > Efficiency.
E=

Kgwater
Kgproduct

E - as low as possible (environmentally sustainable)

2.1

Bronsted-Evans-Polanski Principle

Ea = Ea0 + H
AB + C > A + BC

2.2

Sobatier Principle

The rate is affected by Had and Hdes

Rate increases with increase in E, but after an optimal point, the rate decreases.

Lecture 16

3.1

Langmuir - Hinshdwood Principle

if Aad + Bad > Cad is the rds of any rxn sequence, then rate law is KA B
A
Rate of adsorption of A = Kad
PA (1 A B )
A
Rate of desorption of A = Kdes (A )

A
KA = KaA
d
KA PA (1 A B ) = A
from here -

A =

KA PA

1+KA PA +KB PB

Lecture 17

O2 + b > 2O
COg > CO
CO + O > CO2
rate = KCO O
CO =

Hydrogenation and Isomerism of olefins is of great industrial use.

In this process the oxidation of activated Methylene group is a difficult task.
