This project determined the effect of adsorption compression on the rates of catalytic chemical reactions. It was shown that in regions of strong adsorption compression there is a dramatic increase in the rate of catalytic chemical reaction. Experiments focused on the conversion of NO to molecular nitrogen and oxygen. Data analysis techniques were developed to allow interpretation of experimental data and prediction of conditions for optimal reaction rates.
