Abstract A model, based on a Langmuir‐Hinshelwood type mechanism, for the oxidation of carbon monoxide on a platinum catalyst is presented. This model is used to explain resonant behavior which has been observed during forced feed composition cycling of catalytic reactors. This model further predicts that catalytic reactions can display pathological behavior under certain conditions of feed cycling in agreement with experimental observations.
