Large-scale Monte Carlo simulations are used to explore the effect of quenched disorder on one dimensional, non-equilibrium kinetic Ising models with locally broken spin symmetry, at zero temperature (the symmetry is broken through spin-flip rates that differ for '+' and '-' spins). The model is found to exhibit a continuous phase transition to an absorbing state. The associated critical behavior is studied at zero branching rate of kinks, through analysis spreading of '+' and '-' spins and, of the kink density. Impurities exert a strong effect on the critical behavior only for a particular choice of parameters, corresponding to the strongly spin-anisotropic kinetic Ising model introduced by Majumdar et al. Typically, disorder effects become evident for impurity strengths such that diffusion is nearly blocked. In this regime, the critical behavior is similar to that arising, for example, in the one-dimensional diluted contact process, with Griffiths-like behavior for the kink density. We find variable cluster exponents, which obey a hyperscaling relation, and are similar to those reported by Cafiero et al. We also show that the isotropic two-component AB -> 0 model is insensitive to reaction-disorder, and that only logarithmic corrections arise, induced by strong disorder in the diffusion rate.
