Catalytic transformation of propene (C 3 H 6 ) with nitric oxide (NO) over nickel oxide alumina catalyst (2NiO, Al 2 O 3 ) has been investigated using a continuous stirred tank reactor at temperatures varying from 270 to 400°C, under atmospheric pressure. The main products found were acrylonitrile (C 3 H 3 N) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). The rate of formation of C 3 H 3 N and the rate of disappearance of C 3 H 6 were both correlated by the same model based on a redox mechanism: r i = k i o k i r P NO P HC /( k i o P NO + k i r P HC ) The constants in the rate equation were expressed as a function of temperature.
