Studies of the CO oxidation kinetic regularities on Cu–Co–Fe oxide catalysts, bulk and deposited on the carbon nanotubes

The effect of catalysts of the carbon nanotubes synthesis and of the technology of a Cu–Co–Fe active oxide mass deposition on the kinetic regularities of the CO oxidation reaction has been studied. It has been shown that the experimental data on both catalysts, bulk Cu–Co–Fe and deposited onto carbon nanotubes, agree with the Eley–Readil kinetic scheme. Based on the suggested mechanism, the effective reaction rate constants have been calculated by various methods. It has been shown that the use of Cu–Co–Fe catalysts deposited on carbon nanotubes offers considerable promise.
