Abstract

The mechanism of N2O decomposition over an 18O-labeled Fe-ZSM-5 catalyst was studied. The isotope distribution of the O2 produced during N2O decomposition was statistical. This shows that O2 was formed from a pool of equilibrated surface oxygen atoms. The size of the pool was 1.0 O/Fe, i.e. most or all of the iron clusters took part in the reaction. The reactivity of the oxygen atoms in the pool was low. They did not exchange with 18O2 to a significant extent.
