Resumen
Some mechanisms of the reduction reaction of NO by CO on rhodium are analyzed and discussed, solving the kinetics equations and using Monte Carlo simulations, in terms of its ability to interpret the recent experiments of Zaera et al., who used a molecular beam method to study experimentally the kinetics of the reaction. Critical use is also made of the information on rate constants available for this system in the literature. Uniform catalytic surfaces and the statistical incipient percolation cluster (IPC) fractal are considered in the simulations.
