Abstract

The paper presents results of kinetic studies on thermal methane combustion over honeycomb monoliths. An analysis of the previous experiments [1] has shown that equations proposed there and their kinetic parameters satisfactorily describe kinetics only for relatively low temperatures up to approx. 700°C. The present study corresponds to that related and supplements the previous data with new kinetic parameters obtained in higher temperatures in the reaction zone up to 900°C. A method of the reaction rate calculation for further simulation studies combining the kinetic parameters obtained in both ranges of low (LT) according to Gosiewski et al. [1] and high temperatures (HT) are also presented in the paper.
