In part I of this study, experimental data were presented for the hydrogenation of 4-phenyl-2-butanone with a 4% Pt/TiO2 catalyst where the reaction rate and selectivity (ketone vs. aromatic ring) varied with solvent. In this paper, a rigorous kinetic model is presented utilising these data, incorporating statistical analysis methods to strengthen the foundations of mechanistically sound kinetic models. A fundamental kinetic model for the system is presented and a 2-site model was determined to be most appropriate, describing aromatic hydrogenation (postulated to be over a platinum site) and ketone hydrogenation (at the platinum titania interface). Solvent choice has little impact on the ketone hydrogenation rate constant but strongly impacts aromatic hydrogenation due to solvent-catalyst interaction. Reaction selectivity is also correlated to a fitted product adsorption constant parameter. This kinetic analysis method is the first of its kind demonstrating the role of solvents in influencing reactant adsorption and reaction selectivity.
