An interpretation of the kinetics of ethylene oxidation over silver based on separate studies of kinetics of the reaction steps
The kinetics of the separate reaction steps, corresponding to the stepwise redox mechanism of ethylene oxidation over silver, was studied. The results are used for the interpretation of the kinetics of overall catalytic reactions by taking into account an influence of the adsorption of oxygen on the surface properties of silver.
