The fast reaction limit of a volume-surface reaction-diffusion system is rigorously investigated. We show that as the reaction rate constant goes to infinity, the original system converges to a heat equation with dynamical boundary condition. As a consequence, a dynamical boundary condition can be interpreted as a fast reaction limit of a volume-surface reaction-diffusion system.

steam reforming is one of the most important processes for producing hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels such as lpg and has attracted much attention due to its high efficiency and economy. in this study, the lpg steam reforming reaction was investigated on nickel catalysts supported on four various zeolites (h-y, na-y, hzsm5 and ferrierite). the catalytic tests were performed in a tubular fixed be...

Here, we describe a method for directly transferring very small amounts of reaction products from one surface to another. The approach is illustrated using a T4 DNA polymerase reaction to extend primers hybridized to a surface-confined DNA template. Following the extension reaction, the resulting oligonucleotide is transferred to a product surface. The important results are that (1) the spatial...

The selective oxidation of propylene to acrolein was investigated over a well-defined supported V2O5/Nb2O5 catalyst, containing a surface vanadia monolayer, with combined operando Raman/IR/MS, temperature programmed surface reaction (TPSR) spectroscopy and isotopically labeled reactants (O2 and C3D6). The dissociative chemisorption of propylene on the catalyst forms the surface allyl (H2CdCHCH2...

Gamete recognition in the mouse is mediated by galactosyltransferase (GalTase) on the sperm surface, which binds to its appropriate glycoside substrate in the egg zona pellucida (Lopez, L. C., E. M. Bayna, D. Litoff, N. L. Shaper, J. H. Shaper, and B. D. Shur, 1985, J. Cell Biol., 101:1501-1510). GalTase has been localized by indirect immunofluorescence to the dorsal surface of the anterior spe...

The heterogeneous reaction SO2 + H2O2 → H2SO4 on ice at 228 K has been studied in a low temperature coated-wall flow tube. With H2O2 in excess of SO2, the loss of SO2 on an ice surface is time dependent with the reaction most efficient on a freshly exposed surface. The deactivation of the surface arises because the protons formed in the reaction inhibit the dissociation of adsorbed SO2. This lo...

a series of fe3o4 supported on mesoporous fdu-12 silica systems were prepared by the hydrothermal conditions. the surface properties of the functionalized catalyst were analyzed by a series of characterization techniques like ftir, xrd, n2 adsorption–desorption and tem. xrd and adsorption–desorption analysis shows that the mesostructure of fdu silica remains intact after fe3o4 modifications, wh...
