Abstract
We investigate numerically a phenomenological mathematical model of unimolecular reactions proceeding on inhomogeneous planar surfaces in the two-dimensional space case taking into account: the bulk diffusion of the reactant from the bounded vessel toward the adsorbent and the product bulk one from the adsorbent into the same vessel, the adsorption and desorption of reactant particles, long-range surface diffusion of the adsorbate, and a slow product desorption from the adsorbent. Simulations were performed using the finite difference technique. The influence of the long-range surface diffusion and product desorption rate on the kinetics of processes catalysed by inhomogeneous surfaces with different arrangements of reactive and nonreactive adsorption sites are studied.
