- ! Catalyst is a program to find the catalyst for a given reaction.
- Written by Jim Owen, Bartlesville, OK. !
-
- goal (catalyst)
-
- if reaction = hydrogenation
- & feed = olefin
- & desired product = paraffin
- then catalyst = Pt/Al203.
-
- if reaction = hydrogenation
- & feed = acetylene
- & desired product = olefin
- then catalyst = Pd/Al203.
-
- if reaction = hydrogenation
- & feed = aromatic
- & desired product = cycloparaffin
- then catalyst = Ni/ or Pt/Al203.
-
- if reaction = hydrogenation
- & feed = aniline
- & desired product = cyclohexylamine
- then catalyst = Ni/ or Ru/Al203.
-
- if reaction = hydrogenation
- & feed = nitrobenzene
- & desired product = aniline
- then catalyst = Cu/Al203.
-
- if reaction = dehydrogenation
- & feed = paraffin
- & desired product = olefin
- then catalyst = Cr203/Al203.
-
- if reaction = dehydrogenation
- & feed = olefin
- & desired product = conjuga diolefin
- then catalyst = FeKCrOx.
-
- prompt (reaction) = What is the reaction?
- prompt (feed) = What is the feed?
- prompt (desired product) = What is the desired product?
