Res. Inst. Catalysis, Hokkaido Univ., Vol. 19, No.2, p. 85 to 98 (1971) MECHANISM OF OXIDATION OF SULFUR DIOXIDE CATALYZED BY PLATINUM By Makihiko MASUDA *) and Koshiro MIYAHARA *) (Received April 13, 1970; revised manuscript received February 15, 1971) Abstract It was found that the analysis made by KANEKO and ODANAKAl,2) with regard to the mechanism of the reaction, 2S0 +0 =2S0 , catalyzed by platinum was not consistent in 2 2 3 their application of the theory of the stoichiometric number 3-5J. Their experimental results were reexamined by considering the forward and the backward unidirectional rates of the oxygen transfers among O , S02 and S03 It was concluded that the sequence of steps, 2 02~20(a), S02~S02(a) and S02(a)+0(a)~·S03, assumed by KANEKO and ODANAKA is effective in a consistent interpretation of their experimental results, however, it results in conclusions that the first one of the above steps is the slowest and the last one nearly in equilibrium, running contrary to the conclusion of KANEKO and ODANAKA that the last s
