3. Experiment

Experimental kinetics includes an initial phase aimed at defining the experimental protocol, i.e. the experimental set-up itself and the set of rules governing the conduct of experiments.

The second phase concerns initial experimentation, the aim of which is to precisely define the chemical system to be studied and the corresponding fields of study, and to ensure that the reaction is well controlled from various points of view: identification of kinetic factors and reproducibility of experiments, material balance, material and heat transfer phenomena.

It is then possible to move on to the third phase, systematic experimentation, which aims to establish quantitative kinetic relationships between reaction characteristics (conversions, selectivities, speeds) and operating conditions (concentrations and temperature).
