Abstract

The kinetics of L-arabinose selective oxidation over Au/Al 2O 3 catalysts was studied with simultaneous in situ catalyst electrical potential measurements. An oxidative dehydrogenation mechanism was proposed and a kinetic model taking into account the catalyst potential changes was developed. The kinetic model was implemented into the three-phase system and validated with the experimental observations. The agreement of the kinetic model to the experimental data, in line with the suggested reaction mechanism, was satisfactory.
