KINETICS OF THE HYDROGENATBON OF MESITYL OXIDE:

ANALYSIS OF THE REACTION MECHANISM BY NONLINEAR LEAST SQUARES METHOD

抄録

A systematic approach to determining the kinetics of multiple reactions catalyzed by solid catalyst is demonstrated for the hydrogenation of mesityl oxide. First, obviously inadequate models were eliminated by a check of the initial rates, and secondly the precise parameters were evaluated by a nonlinear least squares method. It was found that this reaction is a consecutive reaction consisting of two steps in both of which reaction occurs between the dissociated hydrogen atoms adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst and the adsorbed molecules of the organic substances.
