Several factors influence desorption kinetics, including:
1. Temperature: Higher temperatures generally increase the desorption rate as the thermal energy helps to overcome the binding energy of the adsorbate on the catalyst surface. 2. Surface Properties: The nature of the catalyst surface, including its surface energy and the presence of specific active sites, can significantly affect desorption kinetics. 3. Adsorbate Properties: The chemical nature and molecular size of the adsorbate also play a role. Stronger adsorbate-catalyst interactions usually result in slower desorption rates. 4. Pressure: The partial pressure of the adsorbate in the surrounding environment can influence the desorption rate, with lower pressures generally favoring desorption.
