Intrinsic kinetics of lean methane catalytic combustion over a Cu-Mn/cordierite catalyst

Intrinsic kinetic studies of the catalytic combustion of lean methane over a Cu-Mn/cordierite catalyst have been carried out in an integral reactor under the following conditions: p=0.1 MPa,t=600-700 ℃ and feed composition y(CH4)=0.1%-1%.The kinetic model parameters were estimated by means of the Simplex optimal method.Statistical tests and residual distribution results showed that the kinetic model derived is acceptable and reliable.
