In the table, each process considered has been given a number, which follows the symbol ‘R’ for reaction (see also Figure 1). A description name is given for each process, followed by both chemical reaction equation, a rate equation, and the parameter values used. Where substances occur on both sides of the arrow in a reaction equation, they are mere (catalytic) influences on the process, without themselves being consumed. This corresponds to the dotted arrows in Figure 1. = refers to a reversible reaction and to a ◊ reaction treated as irreversible.
