What are the Kinetic Models in Catalytic Reactions?
Various kinetic models are used to describe catalytic reactions, ranging from simple linear models to more complex mechanistic models. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood model is commonly used in heterogeneous catalysis, where it assumes that the reaction occurs on the catalyst surface and involves adsorption of reactants, surface reaction, and desorption of products. For enzyme-catalyzed reactions, the Michaelis-Menten model is widely used.
