The Article describes the kinetic approach to ethanol and ethyl acetate combustion using a Mn-Cu catalyst. Catalytic combustion is an established process for removing volatile organic compounds. Acetaldehyde is an intermediate product of ethanol oxidation. The kinetic mechanism of this model is expressed in terms of a nonlinear equation in planar coordinates. Approximate analytical solutions for the concentrations of ethanol, ethyl acetate, and acetaldehyde are derived using asymptotic methods. Analytical results are verified to be accurate through a direct comparison with numerical simulation. This paper aims to provide a kinetic evaluation of the combustion of ethanol over a Mn-Cu catalyst. The study was conducted to estimate the appropriate kinetic parameters and formulate reasonable reaction rate expressions.Refference:
