Mass transfer and chemical reaction in channels in which the individual molecules cannot pass each other (single-file systems) are studied by Monte Carlo simulations. Applying a simple jump model for the elementary steps of diffusion, macroscopically observable phenomena like molecular adsorption and desorption, tracer exchange, and counterdiffusion are considered. In the case of chemical reaction, the simulation results are used for a generalization of the Thiele concept to single-file systems.
