Abstract
Temperature overshoots and undershoots were found for a Pd on alumina catalyst pellet in its course towards a new steady state after a change in concentration of one of the reactants ethylene or hydrogen. When cooling the pellet, after heat-up by reaction, with pure hydrogen a sudden temperature peak appears after a short time.
A mathematical model is introduced, which can explain the over- and undershoots by slow ad- or desorption on the active sites of the catalyst of one of the reactants.
