A realistic desorption model

By analyzing energy barriers for product desorption under ammonia synthesis, CO hydrogenation, and NO reduction by CO, we can refine the models further. For these three processes, the reaction conditions are very different. The ammonia synthesis process is weakly exothermic, whereas the CO hydrogenation reaction has 

From the analysis of the ammonia synthesis, CO hydrogenation and NO reduction by CO in [56] we deduce that the barrier for generalized desorption is on the order of 

5 (as for the universal BEP-relation for stepped surfaces with a slope of 0.87), then the desorption confinement will be enhanced.
