A. Baranski et al., A NEW EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH TO KINETIC-STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF GASEOUSPRODUCT ON GAS-SOLID REACTIONS, Solid state ionics, 101, 1997, pp. 677-680
A method is proposed to study the effect of a gaseous product on the r
ate of gas-solid reactions. Application of a continuously stirred tank
reactor (CSTR) is the most essential feature of the method. Under con
stant flow and temperature, the concentration of the gaseous product i
s self-controlled by the reaction rate. The method has been verified b
y the studies of the retarding effect of water vapour on the reduction
of promoted magnetite - widely used as the industrial catalyst for am
monia synthesis.
