The paper examines different test velocities as well as the se of ethylene and benzene as reductants. A team of chemists has been able to design a new class of material that can be used at catalysts. These catalysts are designed to handle particularly large molecules. The new material formed from zinc-oxide. This metal-organic framework material has many of the functional capabilities of zeolites which is a porous material used as catalysts in conversion of NO into N 2 .
Zinc oxide is used with the terephthalic acid, an organic compound, to form a molecular sieve.
This new material has a double bond linking the organic acid to zinc oxide which is exceptionally stable. According to Michael O'Keefe, this is the first metal-organic material which is stable. This molecular sieve can handle quite large molecules and retains its integrity at temperatures up to 300 degrees centigrade. 3 H 6 shows some agreement for the activation energy of C 3 H 6 oxidation reaction. The development of rate equation model includes prediction of concentration of different gases having different gas properties and reaction rates.
