Realizing the need for e®ective kinetic models that could be used over wide op-erating regimes, oxidation and storage kinetics for a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) were developed in this work. As a first step towards kinetics development, a simple catalyst formulation including only Platinum was chosen. Kinetics were generated by assuming that propylene was representative all the hydrocarbons (HCs) in the exhaust. A systematic methodology was formulated which consisted of (1) careful choice of concentration/temperature domain (2) measurement of reactor conversions of aged catalyst samples at chosen test points using a high space velocity integral reactor (3) developing a simplified 1D reactor model (4) defining an objective func- tion which is critically sensitive to the differences between model predictions and experiments at all conversions (5) generating proper initial guesses and finally (6) modifying Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate expressions to arrive at the final rate forms. This methodology can be used to generate steady state global kinetics in general.
