Abstract

Previous theoretical studies have shown that the range of operation of poisons and promoters on metallic catalysts is short, typically < 5 A. This result is generalised and an estimate is given of the range of operation of a large group of common promoters and poisons. A simple formula is derived which can be used to estimate the minimum weight of poison or promoter which will be effective on a supported metal catalyst.
