The complete oxidation of methanol vapour over platinum has been studied using a micro-calorimetric technique. The results indicate two parallel reaction mechanisms, one which is inhibited by oxygen and one which is not. The derived activation energies indicate that the uninhibited reaction involves the rupture of an oxygen-metal bond in the rate-determining step.
