Several mechanisms are commonly observed in catalytic processes, including: - Langmuir-Hinshelwood Mechanism: Both reactants adsorb on the catalyst surface, react to form a product, which then desorbs. - Eley-Rideal Mechanism: One reactant adsorbs on the catalyst surface, while the other reacts with it directly from the gas phase. - Mars-van Krevelen Mechanism: Involves the catalyst itself undergoing a temporary change in oxidation state, which is later restored.
