Abstract

The problem of the synthesis of fractal structures in the form of dendrite and a Menger sponge as the statistical equivalents of natural adsorbents and catalysts during the identification of their models by real porometric data is defined. Differential equations of mass transfer by diffusion, adsorption, and chemical reaction, which include the fractal parameters of the mentioned models, are given.
