Pd/α-Al2O3 with different particle sizes were prepared by the incipient wetness method and characterized by BET
XRD
ICP-AES
CO chemisorption and TEM. The kinetic characteristics over these catalysts were explored following a fractional factorial designs of experiment and the experiment results were analyzed by microkinetic method. The size of three catalysts obtained was 1.6 nm
3.4 nm and 5.5 nm
respectively
as verified by TEM and CO chemisorption results. After stable performance of the catalyst
the exposed surface Pd number of catalysts measured from CO chemisorption agreed well with that of Pd(111) surface calculated from Hardeveld's model. The microkinetic analysis results showed that the microkinetic model can fit the kinetic experiment results quite well on all catalysts. C2H4* and C2H3* were the most abundant surface species independent of the reaction conditions. The rate determining step was the hydrogenation of vinyl group to form ethylene according to the relationship between microkinetic information and macrokinetic characteristics.
