Modeling of surface CO oxidation using modified adsorption rules

Lattice models based on modified adsorption and interaction rules are suggested for heterogeneous CO oxidation. The advantage of these models over the conventional model is that they disavow the false prediction that the catalytic surface will be poisoned by oxygen at low CO concentrations in the reaction mixture. In the general case, the way the reaction rate and CO and O coverages vary with CO concentration is sensitive to the choice of adsorption rules.Translated from Kinetika i Kataliz, Vol. 46, No. 1, 2005, pp. 104–107.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Abramova, Baranov, Dulov.
