With simultaneous isomerization and cracking of the five hexane isomers on a bifunctional Pt/Al2 O3‐catalyst as a model reaction, which has been shown to follow pseudo mass action kinetics, it is demonstrated how the microcatalytic pulse technique can be applied for the kinetic analysis of complex linear reaction networks. From the experimental data relative rate constants for the individual reaction steps have been obtained by use of the Wei‐Prater‐method. The results are compared with results from continuous operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
