Abstract:

We discuss, at the mean-field level, the asymptotic shape of the reaction fronts in the general nA + mB → Creaction-diffusion processes with initially separated reactants, thereby generalizing to arbitrary reaction-order kinetics the work done by Gálfi and Rácz for the case n = m =1. The obtained information allows us to calculate the asymptotic density of Cparticles deposited by the moving reaction front, a quantity that plays an important role in the theories of Liesegang patterns formation.
