Study of chemisorption and hydrogenation of 1-butene on platinum by temperature-programmed desorption

Journal Article · · J. Catal.; (United States)
The temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) chromatograms of 1-butene from platinum black comprised four peaks, A, B, C, and D, with peak maxima at about 265, 390, 580, and higher than 770 K, respectively. Peak A was identified to be 1-butene with a trace amount of n-butane. Peaks B and C were the mixtures of 1-butene and propylene. Peak D was methane. The methane and propylene were formed from chemisorbed 1-butene by decomposition as the temperature was raised during the subsequent TPD. The reactivities of various types of chemisorbed hydrogen previously detected by TPD were also investigated with regard to the hydrogenation of 1-butene. Two types of chemisorbed hydrogen, presumed to be present on the surface in the form of hydrogen atoms chemisorbed on top of platinum atoms and in the bridge form of molecular hydrogen, were found to react with 1-butene.
