Gc. Wang et al., MICROKINETIC ANALYSIS OF WATER-GAS SHIFT REACTION OVER CU(110), CU(111) SURFACES AND MONTE-CARLO SIMULATION OF ITS MECHANISM, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 19(5), 1998, pp. 779-782
The kinetic parameters of water gas shift reaction catalyzed by Cu(111
) and Cu(110) were calculated by means of BOC-MP empirical method, and
then its mechanism was simulated by Monte Carlo method. The different
apparent activation energies (in relativity) were found for Cu(111) a
nd Cu(110) surfaces (i.e. 1.61 and 1.0 kJ/mol, similar to the experime
nt data). This result indicates that the water gas shift reaction is a
structure sensitive reaction.
