Classical kinetics of catalytic reactions

The present paper deals with a “reactivity approach” to complex catalytic reactions. It utilizes data obtained with a reactor and demonstrates the very important role of both rate constants and concentrations of adsorbed species, on catalytic cycle, activity, and selectivity. It develops a link between global kinetics and closed sequence of elementary steps. It emphasizes the aspects of “assisted” catalytic reactions, kinetic “coupling” of catalytic cycles, and selectivity.
