Summary Kinetic parameters for the ring opening of cyclohexane over modified ZSM-5 zeolites can be measured simultaneously under non-steady state conditions using reversed-flow gas chromatography. At relatively low temperatures, the main product detected and measured was propene. The mathematical relations used for the calculation of adsorption-desorption rate constants, surface reaction rate constants and adsorption equilibrium constants for the reactant cyclohexane are different from previously studied catalytic reactions, owing to the different experimental arrangement for feeding the catalytic bed. The diffusion bands obtained experimentally for reactant or product are described by the sum of two or three exponential functions of time, respectively. From the exponential coefficients of time and the pre-exponential factors, all determined by simple PC programs, the above kinetic parameters are calculated.
