Competitive conversion of methylcyclohexane andn-octane. Variation of hydrogen partial pressure

Abstract

The presence of added hydrogen does not significantly alter the relative conversion of methylcyclohexane and n-octane. The results for conversion at a total pressure of 0.1 mPa are consistent with a mechanism where chemisorption is irreversible and rate limiting even where the hydrogen partial pressure is 0.094 mPa.
