The Theory of the Interrogative Kinetics Approach

State-Defining

Experiment

To explicitly separate diffusional transport and reaction. To identify the primary kinetic characteristics that can be independently measured in a TAP experiment. To relate the primary kinetic characteristics to detailed reaction mechanisms and distinguish them.

State-Altering

Experiment

To create and kinetically characterize different uniform catalyst states using TAP multi-pulse experiments. To extract the catalyst state characteristics from data obtained in a multi-pulse experiment (particularly the number of active sites). To make assumptions about the reaction mechanism

Furane/Argon mixture (9/1) was pulsed over oxidized VPO catalyst at 400˚C. After catalyst had been completely reduced, it was left under vacuum conditions for 14

hrs. The, furane was pulsed again.
