The development of an ‘on-line’ computer for use with a combined gas chromatographymass spectroscopy (g.c.-m.s.) technique in the study of heterogeneous catalysis is described and discussed with reference to the reactions of ethylene and deuterium on oxides. Emphasis has been placed on the selectivities shown by a number of catalysts for the exchange and addition reactions. Magnesium oxide effects the exchange of ethylene without production of ethane even at 671 K; y-alumina also exhibits a high selectivity for exchange. In contrast, on chromium oxide (Cr20 3) at 197 K and zinc oxide at 273 K, ethylene undergoes rapid deuteration with no observable exchange of the olefin. For the range of catalysts studied the ratio of rate constants for the exchange and addition reactions decreases in the order: MgO > Al 2 O 3 > TiO 2 ~ Fe 2 O 3 > Co 3 O 4 > ZrO 2 > ZnO ~ Cr 2 O 3 . An explanation for the marked differences in catalytic behaviour within this group of oxides is provided.
