Abstract
The kinetics of the oxidation of 1-propanol, one of the major components of the gaseous waste products in the manufacture of synthetic fatty acids, were studied in the gas phase to establish a kinetic model for the reaction and to design an air purification reactor. AP-65 aluminum-platinum catalyst was used in a flow-circulation system. The oxidation of 1-propanol is seen as a heterogeneous reaction with three reaction pathways: 1) the formation of a hypothetical surface compound (C/sub 3/H/sub 7/OH)0 obtained by the reaction of 1-propanol with a surface layer of O/sub 2/ on the catalyst and then the parallel slow decomposition of this product to propionaldehyde; 2) the intense oxidation of 1-propanol leads to the formation of CO/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/O; and 3) with increasing temperature, the contributions of propionaldehyde to the formation of the intense oxidation products CO/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/O increases.
