_over_Pt-SnAl_2O_3_catalyst
In this mechanism, both propene and hydrogen adsorption are considered but
dehydrogenation is assumed to proceed step by step.
If the first C–H bond cleavage of propane (II1) is the rate-determining step, the rate
expression is as follows:
By assuming negligible surface coverage of C3H7 as the only dominating surface species,
rate expression can be simplified to (M2-1)
