Abstract
The product distribution of isomers from the deuterium exchange of neopentane over palladium supported on silica-alumina particles is influenced by the competition among three rate processes: desorption, diffusion, and surface exchange. The theory based on a single-step surface mechanism is presented and given quantitative treatment, suitable for large conversions. The experimental results show a very wide variety of product distributions over the same catalyst, and can be quantitatively correlated by the theory.Keywords
