SO2 Oxidation Over Pt Catalyst Analysis

An experiment was conducted to study the oxidation of SO2 over a platinum catalyst at 480°C in a fixed bed reactor at atmospheric pressure. The experiment measured the reaction rate at different mass velocities and concentrations of SO2, SO3, and O2. A plot of reaction rate versus mass velocity showed the relationship between these variables. The catalyst pellets and experimental conditions are also described.
