Nonisothermal Analysis of the Intrinsic kinetics of the Hydrogen Reduction of Copper Sulfate
김선규 Sun Kyu Kim
Abstract
The intrinsic kinetics parameters for the hydrogen reduction of copper sulfate have been determined from experimental data obtained under linearly increasing temperature. Various different mathematical procedures have been applied to the analysis of the data. The kinetics of this reaction can be described by an overall first-order expression in terms of the amount of unreacted copper sulfate with an activation energy of 75.4kJ/㏖. In comparison to the isothermal method, the nonisothermal technique is shown to be quite convenient and require fewer experimental runs for the determination of intrinsic kinetics.
