Kinetics of the vapor-phase decomposition of MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) over H3PW12O40/SiO2
A kinetic study on the vapor-phase MTBE decomposition over H3PW12O40/SiO2 was carried out. Possible kinetic mechanisms are proposed and discussed. Rate expressions were ultimately developed after several verification processes.
