Kinetic models of heterogeneous catalytic reactions (review)

A complex approach for obtaining comprehensively substantiated kinetic models in heterogeneous catalysis is proposed. The kinetic models of catalytic conversions of different classes of organic compounds, estabished for the first time by this method, are described. Some theoretical premises and the consequences of this study are examined.Review of data from research awarded the Academy of Sciences of the USSR D. I.
