K. Koch et al., A NEW METHOD OF ANALYZING TEMPERATURE-PROGRAMMED DESORPTION (TPD) PROFILES USING AN EXTENDED INTEGRAL-EQUATION, Journal of catalysis, 172(1), 1997, pp. 187-193
A new method of analysing temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) prof
iles is suggested, Taking into account desorption curves of different
heating rates it is shown that the desorption energy distribution func
tion can be calculated by using an extended integral equation without
any limiting assumptions about the distribution function and the preex
ponential factor. The method is demonstrated with simulated data and t
ested for TPD of different molecules on zeolites. (C) 1997 Academic Pr
