Title: Participation of quasifree oxygen atoms in the catalytic oxidation of ethylene

Journal Article · · Kinet. Catal. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5889293

A study using solid-state detectors and mass spectrometry has been made of the formation and emission of oxygen atoms from the surface of silver, as well as of the reactivity of these species in the oxidation of ethylene. A comparison of the formation of the quasifree oxygen atoms and the steady-state reaction of the oxidation of ethylene allows them to conclude that oxygen atoms play an important role in this reaction.
