CHE 66200 - Catalysis


Credit Hours: 3.00.  Analysis of the kinetics of heterogeneous catalytic reactions, including the application of collision and transition state theories to the estimation of rate constants and calculation of rates over energetically nonuniform surfaces. Discussion of the chemical and physical properties of solid surfaces that influence catalytic reactions, and illustration of concepts of catalytic behavior with specific examples from catalytic cracking, reforming, oxidation, and hydrodesulfurization. Offered in alternate years. Prerequisite: CHE 34800  . Typically offered Fall Spring.Credits: 3.00
