In this work the kinetics of synthesizing process of metallic iron nanopowder by hydrogen reduction from α-FeOOH hydroxide under isothermal conditions were studied. α-FeOOH nanopowder was prepared in advance by chemical deposition from aqueous solutions of iron nitrate Fe(NO3)3 (10 wt. %) and alkali NaOH (10 wt. %) at room temperature, pH = 11, under the condition of continuous stirring. The hydrogen reduction process of α-FeOOH nanopowder under isothermal conditions was carried out in a tube furnace in the temperature range from 390 to 470 °C. The study of the crystal structure and composition of the powders was performed by X-ray phase analysis. The specific surface area S of the samples was measured using BET method by low-temperature nitrogen adsorption. The average particle size D of powders was determined via the measured S value. The size characteristics and morphology of the particles were investigated by transmission and scanning electron microscopes. The calculation of the kinetic parameters of the hydrogen reduction process of α-FeOOH under isothermal conditions was carried out by the Gray-Weddington model and Arrhenius equation. It is shown that the rate constant of reduction at 470 °C is approximately 2.2 times higher than in the case at 390 °C. The effective activation energy of synthesizing process of iron nanopowder by hydrogen reduction from α-FeOOH was ~38 kJ/mol, which indicates a mixed reaction mode. In this case, the kinetics overall process is limited by both the kinetics of the chemical reaction and the kinetics of diffusion, respectively, an expedient way to accelerate the process by increasing the temperature or eliminate the diffusion layer of the reduction product by intensive mixing. It is show that Fe nanoparticles obtained by hydrogen reduction of its hydroxide at 410 °C, corresponding to the maximum specific rate of the reduction process, are mainly irregular in shape, evenly distributed, the size of which ranges from several dozens to 100 nm with an average value of 75 nm.

The aim of the current experiment was to optimize the creation process of single cell protein on plant-based substrate solution with the intention to improve end-product turn out by means of adding vitamin solution. Based on the results of the fermentation processes of yeast strains, it was concluded that the vitamin-supplementation produced its greatest effect on the dry matter production, primarily on the K. marxianus DSM 4908 strain, while it was less beneficent when it comes to the figures of wet cell mass. In addition, it can be assumed that vitamin supplementation increased the maximum specific rate of growth (μmax) and decreased the generation time (tg) significantly. In the case of the K. marxianus yeast strain on corn steep liquor treated with vitamin-supplementation, the highest (μmax) and the lowest (tg) data were observed [(0.226 h-1) and (4.4 h), respectively]. Based on the results it was found that K. marxianus DSM 4908 is expedient to be applied on corn steep liquor medium in order to determine its suitability to produce additive for feeding.

The kinetics of the reaction between has been studied under conditions of production of iodine at a known rate by the persulfate-iodide reaction and its consumption by S2O3-- . The effective concentration of iodine during the steady state is measured from its reduction potential at a bright platinum foil electrode. The reaction is of first order with respect to I3- and S2O3-- individually and hence of over all second order. The specific rate is 1.51 X 105 M -1 sec-1 and the frequency factor is 1.69 × 1012 M -1 sec-1 at 25 °C. The energy of activation for the reaction is 9.58 × 103 cal/mole and the entropy of activation is -2.55 cal/mole deg.

Abstract It has been shown that in kinetically first order gas phase reactions occuring under electric discharge, such as the decomposition of N2O, the application, at various initial pressures, of the same multiple of the respective starting potential ensures that the reaction occurs at the same specific rate.

Raman spectroscopy has been employed to follow the relatively slow rate of hydrolysis of acetonitrile, catalyzed by mercury(II). Raman lines at 2275 and 2305 cm−1 are characteristic of CH3CN bound to Hg2+, and are distinct from lines of bulk solvent. The intensities of these new lines decrease with time. From the intensities, concentrations of bound acetonitrile, [CH3CN]B were calculated for a time span of 400 min. The data fit a second order rate law: Rate = k[CH3CN]B[H2O]. The specific rate constant, k, obtained from four sets of data for the system Hg(ClO4)2–CH3CN–H2O equals 1.05 ± 0.06 × 10−4 mol−1 1 min−1 at 25 °C. The energy of activation is 18.9 kcal mol−1. In the proposed mechanism water molecules attack acetonitrile molecules which are bound to Hg2+ and form a mercury(II)–acetamide complex. Raman lines characteristic of this species are observed. This species slowly converts to mercury(II) ammine complexes and acetic acid. Anions which coordinate with Hg2+ more strongly than CH3CN, such as nitrate or acetate, slow or prevent the hydrolysis reaction.

The kinetics of the oxidation of molybdenyte, pyrite and sphalerite in solutions of nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium hypochlorite was studied by the rotating disk method. The influence of the molar concentration of reagent, pH of solution, temperature, disk rotation frequency, and duration of measurements on the specific rate of hydrochemical oxidation of sulpfides was determined. The kinetic models allowing to calculate the dissolution rate of sulphides when these parameters change simultaneously were obtained. The conditions of kinetically and diffusion-controlled processes were detected. The details of mechanism of the studied processes were revealed. The nature of intermediate solid products, the reasons and the conditions of their formation as well as the character of their influence on the kinetics of dissolution processes were determined. The probable schemes of interactions corresponding to the observable kinetic dependences were offered. The conditions of the effective and selective molybdenum leaching directly from ore without its concentration were found.
