Kinetics of isoamylene dehydrogenation on a membrane catalyst

The kinetics of isoamylene dehydrogenation was studied by a gradientless method on a palladium-nickel membrane catalyst. The experimental dependence of the dehydrogenation rate on isoamylene partial pressure and contact time is in satisfactory agreement with the assumption that the rate-controlling step of the process is the surface reaction of chemisorbed isoamylenes. © 1975 Akadémiai Kiadó.
