Abstract

Kinetic measurements of gas-solid reactions performed on powders, are usually interpreted according to single-particle analysis (SPA) models. The use of SPA functions is not a priori justified, since deviations from that functional dependence may occur in the powder, owing to three factors: (i) particle size distributions, (ii) particle shape variations and (iii) time distributions for the beginning of the reaction on each one of the particles composing the powder. The effects of these factors are quantitatively analysed and their interference in the SPA procedure is estimated. It is concluded that under certain circumstances the SPA can yield the correct reaction mechanism and even enables a reasonable estimate of the corresponding intrinsic kinetic parameters. This analysis is relevant generally to gas-solid kinetics, with particular emphasis on hydriding reactions.
