Abstract
The influence of the spacing between active metal particles placed on the supported metal catalyst on the kinetics of the catalytic reaction with spillover was investigated. The 2A+B2â2AB reaction, modelling the CO oxidation on Pd/Al2O3 catalyst, was studied using Dynamic Monte Carlo simulations. It was shown that there exists an optimal spacing, that provides the maximum reaction rate. It was postulated that this optimum is a consequence of both competition and cooperative effects occurring between metal particles.
