4.
CO hydrogenation to form CH4:
→
CO+ 3H2 CH4 + H2O
occurs on a Ru/SiO2 catalyst and is used to remove traces of CO from H2 streams used in fuel cell
applications where ultra-high purity H2 is required (even ppm levels of CO can poison fuel cells).
This reaction occurs through the following steps:
(1)
(2)
CO+*
CO*
H2 + 2* 2 H*
CO*+* C*+0*
C* H* → CH*+*
CH* + H* →
CH2*+*
CH2* + H* → CH3*+*
CH3* + H* →
CH4 + 2*
O* + H* OH*+*
OH* + H* = H₂O + 2*
where Steps 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9 can all be considered quasi-equilibrated.
Derive a steady-state rate expression (turnover rate) in terms of gas-phase
pressures and rate and equilibrium constants. Assume that the MASI are * and CO*.
