A substantiated mathematical model is proposed for describing the reaction-diffusion processes of a binary mixture of particles adsorbed on a catalyst surface.  It is shown that the proposed model generalizes the one-dimensional ZGB model for carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation reaction.  The kinetics of CO oxidation is investigated on the facets of platinum (Pt) crystal, which are stable with respect to reconstruction.
