This work focused on the kinetic modelling of heterogeneously catalysed chemical reactions making use of experimental data produced by temperature-programmed methods. These methods are traditionally applied in the characterisation of gas–solid interactions. However, as is demonstrated in this thesis, the results of temperature-programmed methods are also suitable for deriving kinetic models, which describe the rates of reactions. The derived kinetic models are valuable for the design and optimisation of chemical reactors, for the study of reaction mechanisms and for catalyst development. The methodology of kinetic modelling based on data from temperature-programmed experiments was developed through two case studies. The first study dealt w...
