Scientific paper

We examine the long-time behaviour of A+B \to 0 reaction-diffusion systems with initially separated species A and B. All of our analysis is carried out for arbitrary (positive) values of the diffusion constant D_A of particles A and initial concentrations a_0 and b_0 of A's and B's. We derive general formulae for the location of the reaction zone centre, the total reaction rate, and the concentration profile of species A outside the reaction zone. The general properties of the reaction zone are studied with a help of the scaling ansatz. Using the mean-field approximation we find the functional forms of `tails' of the reaction rate R and the dependence of the width of the reaction zone on the external parameters of the system. We also study the change in the kinetics of the system with D_B > 0 in the limit D_B \to 0. Our results are supported by numerical solutions of the mean-field reaction-diffusion equation.
