The Role of Ultraviolet Radiation in Promoting the Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide.

Abstract

The photoenhancement of the oxidation of carbon monoxide over palladium has been studied at low and high pressures in the temperature range 300 to 443 K. At a total pressure of 20 torr there is a marked photoenhancement of the rate while at pressures below 0.0001 torr no enhancement was detectable. A correlation of these data and infrared spectroscopic data is established which suggests that a weakly bound state of CO is intimately involved in the photoenhancement process.
