Combustion of CO on catalytic steel surfaces

Abstract

In this work, the heterogeneous combustion of CO on steel surfaces has been investigated for surface temperatures of 450 – 700°C and CO mol fractions of approximately 4%. A steel tube of 9 mm I.D. has been used as the reaction surface. The reaction rate has been found experimentally as follows: rs=ρϕCO· 0,752 · 104 exp(− 8912/ts)
