Simplified data processing for the simultaneous determination of catalysts by catalytic kinetics

Abstract

An approximate equation for data processing is proposed for the simultaneous determination of catalysts by catalytic kinetics. On applying the equation to the reaction between two reactants catalysed by two catalysts, the calculation is simplified to that of only one reactant, simplifying the experiment and data processing. The equation was used to treat the simultaneous determination of ruthenium and osmium with Ce(IV)As(III) as the indicator reaction, with the results in good agreement with those using the exact equation. © 1993.
