The reason can be a strong inhibition by a reactant or an increasing activation energy with coverage. Adsorption/desorption models based on those assumptions predict a considerable rate improvement for cyclic operation. This was demonstrated by exptl. study of the heterogeneous catalytic addn. of HOAc to C2H4.
