Abstract
Absorption kinetics and first-order reaction models on fractal lattice s are studied. Adsorption kinetics in macro/microporous fractal solids showing fractal scaling properties and a complex topological pore-net work structure are developed by considering the coupling of two fracta l graphs. For first-order reactions on fractal substrata, the exact de termination of the behavior of the effectiveness factor vs the Thiele modulus is obtained. A model for analyzing the spatial concentration d istribution in a fractal catalyst is proposed. Copyright (C) 1996 Else vier Science Ltd
