Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulation of Oxalic Acid Ozonationover Lanthanum-based Perovskitesas Catalysts

Kinetic Monte Carlo simulation was applied to investigation of kinetics and mechanism of oxalic acid degradation by direct and heterogeneous catalytic ozonation. La-containing perovskites including LaFeO3, LaNiO3, LaCoO3 and LaMnO3 was studied as catalyst for oxalic acid ozonation. The reaction kinetic mechanisms of each abovementioned catalytic systems has been achieved. The rate constants val...

A New Approach for Monte Carlo Simulation of RAFT Polymerization

In this work, based on experimental observations and exact theoretical predictions, the kinetic scheme of RAFT polymerization is extended to a wider range of reactions such as irreversible intermediate radical terminations and reversible transfer reactions. The reactions which have been labeled as kinetic scheme are the more probable existing reactions as the theoretical point of view. The ...

Modelling of surface chemistry on an inhomogeneous interstellar grain

Context. Many interstellar molecules are formed through grain surface reactions. These reactions are usually modelled using rate equations, while considering a homogeneous grain with only one type of binding site for each species. However, amorphicity and the irregular character of interstellar dust grains make inhomogeneous grain surfaces much more likely. Aims. The aim of this study is to inv...

A new modified-rate approach for gas-grain chemical simulations

Context. Understanding grain-surface processes is crucial to interpreting the chemistry in many regions of the interstellar medium. However, accurate surface chemistry models are computationally expensive and are difficult to integrate with gas-phase simulations. Aims. A new modified-rate method for solving grain-surface chemical systems is presented. The purpose of the method is to trade a sma...

Application of Monte Carlo Simulation in the Assessment of European Call Options

In this paper, the pricing of a European call option on the underlying asset is performed by using a Monte Carlo method, one of the powerful simulation methods, where the price development of the asset is simulated and value of the claim is computed in terms of an expected value. The proposed approach, applied in Monte Carlo simulation, is based on the Black-Scholes equation which generally def...
