In this paper a kinetic study on 2% Pd over CexZr1-xO2 catalyst is presented. The catalyst was prepared by solution combustion synthesis, fully characterized and tested for CH4 catalytic combustion. A kinetic study was carried out in a continuous recycle reactor, operated in differential conditions. Twelve different possible rate equations belonging to Eley-Rideal, Langmuir-Hinshelwood, and Mars van Krevelen models were fitted to the experimental data. The best fitting belonged to a Mars van Krevelen mechanism, considering the concentration of the molecular O2 adsorbed on a single active site, which successively dissociated creating an active site with atomic O2. The obtained kinetic parameters were inside the range reported in literature for similar catalysts (Eact,1 = 23.8 kJ mol―1; Eact,2 = 31.9 kJ mol 1; E*act,1 = 5.4 kJ mol―1). For comparison, to better assess the catalytic role of Pd in the CH4 combustion, also the kinetic parameters of the sole carrier, CexZr1-xO2, were calculated. The best rate equation for the carrier was based on a different Mars van Krevelen mechanism, a simpler one, involving the surface reaction between adsorbed molecular oxygen and methane from the gas phase (Eact,1 = 79.6 kJ mol―1, Eact,2 = 1 14.6 kJ mol―1).
