dc.description.abstract
In the book by Hornung, Chap. 6, the author proposes a homogenization strategy for
the e ective behavior of some chemical processes involving adsorption and reactions
arising in porous media. Rigorous proofs of the convergence results are given in the
case of linear adsorption rates and linear chemical reactions. The author leaves as an
open question the case of a nonlinear adsorption rate. Our goal in this paper is to study
two well-known examples of such nonlinear models, namely the so-called Freundlich and
Langmuir kinetics.
