Abstract
The rate-limiting stage of heterogeneous catalytic redox reactions with participation of strongly bound surface species, such as nitrates, carbonates and sulfites, is the interaction of these heteroatomic oxidants with the reducing agents. It appears to be mainly determined by their bonding strength with the surface, being independent of the nature of the central atom (carbon, sulfur, nitrogen) and the energy of its bond with oxygen.
