Heterogeneous Mechanism of C1-C4 on a Platinum Catalyst

We developed a H-2 and C-1-C-4 heterogeneous mechanism to describe their catalytic reaction on a platinum catalyst. To verify the mechanism we carried out simulations with methane, ethane, propane, and n-butane and compared the results to the reported experimental data. The ignition and combustion (ignition or combustion of CH4, C2H6 with or without adding H-2, C3H8 with or without adding H-2, C4H10 with adding H-2) was of interest. Good agreement was obtained and we found that H-2 improved the ignition of propane and n-butane, and the combustion of ethane. However, their kinetic processes are different. Therefore, the H-2 and C-1-C-4 heterogeneous mechanism determined in this work is reasonable with some certainty and could be used to describe the characteristics of ignition and combustion, which can be used to analyze the kinetic process.
