title: Determination of chemical kinetic properties of heterogeneous catalysts.
abstract: The importance of cooperation of heterogeneous catalysis with surface science is stressed for simultaneous adsorptive and catalytic measurements. Inverse gas chromatography and reversed-flow gas chromatography offer a suitable research ground for such collaboration. After a short introduction, adsorption physicochemical quantities of heterogeneous catalysts with typical recent results, chemical kinetic properties and surface energy of catalysts are described, stressing the important aspect of time-resolved chromatography, due to the heterogeneity of the solid surface of catalysts. Adsorption energies, local monolayer capacities, local isotherms and energy distribution functions are extensively described. Also, lateral molecular interactions, surface diffusion and adsorption rates on heterogeneous catalysts are described.
