Am. Vidales et al., CORRELATED SITE-BOND PERCOLATION MODEL - APPLICATION TO CATALYTIC DEACTIVATION AND DESORPTION FROM POROUS SOLIDS, Langmuir, 11(4), 1995, pp. 1178-1183
A model for percolative correlated networks of sites and bonds is used
in the calculation of catalytic deactivation and the adsorption-desor
ption hysteresis in porous materials. This model takes into account th
e important characteristics of porous materials such as correlations b
etween voids and throats (sites and bonds). Experimental data on catal
ytic deactivation by coke formation and nitrogen sorption on alumina s
ustrates are analyzed and compared with model predictions.
