This paper presents a critical review of the developments in the mathematical modeling of gas‐solid noncatalytic reactions with particular emphasis on recent trends in the subject. A number of models proposed for analyzing this class of reactions have been reviewed with a fairly detailed discussion of the methods of incorporating structural changes which occur in the solid with the progress of reaction. The present status on the modeling of various types of complex gas‐solid reactions is reviewed. Also the paper points out a number of areas in which future research may be needed. The review concludes with a critical discussion on the type of experimental data necessary for model verification and some comments on the choice of model for a given system.
