Popis: Catalytic oxidation of ethylene was experimentally studied by wire microcalorimetry and mass spectrometry over the temperature range of 400–800 K at atmospheric pressure. The catalyst is a palladium oxide (PdO) surface on a polycrystalline palladium wire. For mixtures containing 0.3–0.6% C 2 H 4 and 3.75% O 2 in N 2 , the heat release rate as well as the mole fractions of gas-phase species were identified. Experimental observation revealed the temperature-dependent channels for the C 2 H 4 oxidation, with mixed H 2 release and H 2 O production below 580 K and complete oxidation to CO 2 and H 2 O above 600 K. Analysis of the global reaction kinetics shows that for 620 ⩽ T (K) ⩽ 740 K the surface catalytic reaction rate is the first order in ethylene concentration and has an activation energy of 48.2 ± 1.4 kJ/mol. A surface chemistry model is proposed and the dissociative adsorption rate constant of C 2 H 4 on PdO surface was determined by fitting the experimental data.
