Fotokatalis
Reaction at Solid Surface
Catalyst

Homogeneous Vs Heterogeneous
Homogeneous

▰ Catalyst is in same phase as reactants/feed


▰ Mostly liquid
▰ Acetic acid manufacture by methanol
carbonylation (Rh or Ir catalyst)
▰ Butyraldehyde production by the
hydroformylation of propylene (Rh catalyst)
Advantages
▰ Better utilisation of the metal: all of the catalytic metal is
equally available to the reactants – lower catalyst loading
required.
▰ Exploitation of different metal oxidation states and ligands –
offering a wide range of activity and selectivity in a complex
molecule.
▰ Elimination of in-pore diffusion allowing kinetic rather than
mass transfer control of reaction rates – easier to scale up.
▰ Easy exotherm removal – no localised overheating, hence
longer catalyst lifetime.
Disadvantages

▰ Fundamental difficulty with homogeneous catalysis is the


separation issue.
▰ metal recycling is usually required.
▰ To be reused a catalyst has to be rendered soluble again –
further processing required – complex and expensive process
▰ In some cases (eg PET catalysis) the catalyst is so active the
loadings are too low to make metal recovery economically
viable.
Heterogeneous

▰ Catalyst is in different phase with


reactants/feed
▰ Mostly solid
▰ Ammonia production from hydrogen and
nitrogen (Fe catalyst)
▰ Gasoline reforming to increase the octane
number (zeolite Y)

Generalised Mechanisms
Langmuir-Hinshelwood
mechanism: presupposes that both
reactants adsorb on the surface.
Hence, the rate law is 2nd order in
the extent of surface coverage.
A+B→P
Rate = kθA θB

Generalised Mechanisms
The Eley-Rideal Mechanism:
presupposes that a gas phase
molecule reacts with another
molecule already adsorbed on the
surface.
