In a pulse reactor, a
carrier gas
, which may be inert
or possibly one of the reactants, flows over the catalyst
and small amounts of the other reactant or reactants are injected into the carrier gas
at intervals. A pulse reactor is useful for exploratory work but kinetic results apply to a transient rather than to the steady state conditions of the catalyst
.
