Kinetics of heterogeneous catalytic reactions is indispensable part of the complex study of the properties and behavior of any catalytic system i.e. catalyst plus reaction media

Main tasks of kinetics of heterogeneous catalytic reactions
1. Kinetics and mechanism of important in theoretical aspect catalytic processes.
2. Development of the theory of kinetics.
3. Development of kinetic models of non-stationary catalytic processes.
4. Creation of kinetic models of industrially important reactions.

5. The kinetics of the processes, occurring during the preparation, deactivation and regeneration of the industrial catalysts.

The effective industrial catalysts are products, which possess very special complex of different properties
1. High catalytic activity;2. High selectivity;3. Proper pore structure;4. High resistance to deactivation;5. High resistance to catalytic poisons;6. Easy regeneration;7. Long life time;
9
8. Low operational and light-off temperature;9. High thermal stability;10. High thermal conductivity;11. High mechanical strength;12. High resistance to attrition;13. Low price.
10
Industrial catalysts are “performance chemicals”which should be offered on the market
together with information about:
1. Reaction kinetics and kinetic model; 2. Catalytic activity and selectivity; 3. Catalyst pre-treatment regimes; 4. Catalyst deactivation kinetics with respect to
different catalytic poisons; 5. Catalyst regeneration regimes;
11
6. Catalyst lifetime: stability, duration of operation, thermal stability; 7. Physical and mechanical properties: strength, abrasion ability, hardness, surface area; 8. Hydrodynamic characteristics of the catalyst grain and of the catalyst bed in the reactor 9. Safety transition regimes in cases of industrial accident; 10. Economy of the process.
12
The steady state regimes
The steady state proceeding of heterogeneous catalytic process is realized only in open systems.
The steady state regime means that all reaction parameters (concentrations of reagents and ISC, temperatures, partial and total pressure, regents flow rate) should have constant values which do not change with time. This however does not mean that the parameters should have the same value at different points of the reaction space.
13
F(cj, xk) is the function which allow us to express the concentrations of ISC via the concentrations of the reagents, j - number of reagents in the system, i - number of ISC formed on the catalyst surface.At steady state regime

Conditions of Frank-Kamenetzki
1). The rate of formation of the ith ISC from all possible reactions should be smaller than the rate of its consumption along all possible reactions.
2). The life-time of the ith ISC should nearly equal to the time necessary to reach steady state τo and smaller than the time of reaction τr

Kinetic models of non-stationary catalytic processesshould account for the following factors:
- The rates of the elementary chemical reactions,
- The rates of changing of reactant composition,
- The rates of changing of the activity of the catalyst
- Diffusion of the reacting species in the catalystpores, and etc.

Catalytic processes under non-steady state regime
║A║c - is stoichiometric matrix for reagents;
║A║x is stoichiometric matrix for intermediate surface compounds (ISC)
18
The reasons for the deviation from steady state regimes are numerous: presence of catalyst redox cycle, presence in the reaction mechanism a non-linear elementary steps, changes of the reaction mechanism due to changes of the degree of conversion, catalyst re-crystallisation, poisoning, deactivation,etc.
Most of these factors acts spontaneously and are part of the properties of the system catalyst-reaction media and as a result different phenomena are observed like multiple steady states, oscillating reactions, chaotic behaviour, heat explosion, etc

CONCLUSIONS
1. Detailed study of the kinetics is expensive and time consuming process and should be done on the catalysts that have already passed other chemical, physical, mechanical and physico-chemical tests.
2. Reliable and precise data can be obtained only if the laboratory catalytic reactors are properly selected and analytical methods used for are fast, precise, and reliable.
62
3. Interpretation of the results from kinetic studies should be done always taking into account the results obtained from the application of other characterization techniques - chemical, physical, morphological and mechanical. Very important in this sense is the opportunity to combine catalytic activity measurements with application “in situ” of some physical methods by which the additional information about the catalyst changes during the catalytic runs can be obtained.
63
4. Heat and mass transfer processes always accompany heterogeneous catalytic reactions. It is very important to properly evaluate the heat and mass transfer effect on a catalytic reaction.
64
It is essential that the analytical methods and equipment used to analyse reaction mixture compositions at the reactor inlet and outlet are precise, fast, and reliable.
65
The progress of chemical industry depends on its attitude toward chemical science and interest
in research work, while the good shape of science is determined by the fact how far it turns
its face to the demand and prospects for developments in industry.
