Kinetic Analysis and Raman Surface Characterization in the CPO of Hydrocarbon Fuels

We analyze the main kinetic features of the Catalyitic Partial Oxidation of methane, propane, propylene and isooctane, focusing on reaction kinetics and carbon formation tendency. The formation of C-species as a function of temperature is followed by combining kinetic investigations in annular microreactor with Raman measurements of the catalyst surface.
