The coupled heat and mass transfer by mixed convection boundary layer flow of a micropolar fluid over a continuously moving isothermal vertical surface immersed in a thermally and solutally stratified medium have been investigated in the presence of chemical reaction effect. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of non-similar equations and solved numerically by the Keller box method. Comparison with previously published work are performed and the results are found to be in excellent agreement. A representative set of numerical results for the skin-friction coefficient as well as the Nusselt number and the Sherwood number is presented graphically for various parametric conditions and discussed.
