REVIEW

Milan Králik*
A short history of the relationships among adsorption, chemisorption, and catalysis with solid
catalysts is reviewed. A special focus is on the development of quality and descriptions accuracy
using computers, both for the modeling of elementary physical phenomena and adsorption, as well
as for the solution of more complex problems like quantum chemical approach to chemisorption,
kinetics over solid catalysts, and reactor systems. Modern approaches to the characterization of solid
catalysts from the adsorption–desorption data based mainly on n-layer adsorption and non-linear
three parameter BET isotherm regarding the volume of micropores as one of the parameters are
demonstrated. Instrumentation techniques like infrared spectroscopy or NMR techniques for the
analysis of the strength of component chemisorption are mentioned. As for the kinetics, a vague
capability of the Langmuir–Hinshelwood–Hougen–Watson models to describe a reaction system
in more complicated cases, e.g. bimolecular surface reactions, is discussed. In this context, the
simplest model with a minimum number of parameters is advised. To estimate the most realistic
values, intrinsic reaction kinetic and mass transport phenomena are taken into account. Usefulness
of quantum mechanistic models for better understanding of the catalytic phenomena and more
efficient design of catalysts are outlined.
