The Two Term Kinetics

The bimolecular Rideal-Eley kinetics (16.4) do not say much about the possible source of oxygen, which may be either suprafacial (from the surface) or intrafacial (from the lattice). The equation that should be employed in order to distinguish such cases contains two terms a first for the reaction at low temperatures and a second for the high-temperature reaction  

In conclusion, the combination of various kinetic models to approach or describe the oxidation of methane on perovskites provides valuable insights into this catalytic process and the possible design of novel and effective oxidation catalysts.
