Catalytic Dehydrogenation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the decomposition of several aromatic, tar compounds over a Pt (111) surface. Density functional theory is used for the modeling. Atomic adsorption energies are found and used to find reaction energies in agreement with other works. A favorable reaction pathway for the dehydrogenation reaction of benzene to dehydrobenzyne is calculated, as well as the dehydrogenation reaction pathway for naphthalene.
