Abstract: 
  This paper concerns the homogenization of two nonlinear models for
  chemical reactive flows through the exterior of a domain containing
  periodically distributed reactive solid grains (or reactive obstacles).
  In the first model, the chemical reactions take place on the walls of
  the grains, while in the second one the fluid penetrates the grains
  and the reactions take place therein. The effective behavior of these
  reactive flows is described by a new elliptic boundary-value problem
  containing an extra zero-order term which captures the effect of the
  chemical reactions.
