The oxidation of butan-1-ol by ferricyanide ion in alkaline aqueous solution is catalysed by solutions of ruthenium trichloride hydrate. The kinetics of the reaction has been reinvestigated and the data are consistent with the rate law -d[FeIII]/dt = [Ru](2k1k2 [BuOH] [FeIII])/(2k1 [BuOH]+k2 [FeIII]) This rate law is interpreted by a mechanism involving oxidation of butanol by the catalyst (k1) followed by reoxidation of the catalyst by ferricyanide (k2). The non-linear dependence of the rate on the butanol concentration is ascribed to the rate-determining, butanol-independent reoxidation of the catalyst, rather than to the saturation of complex formation between butanol and the catalyst as previously claimed. Absolute values of the rate constants could not be determined, because some of the ruthenium precipitates from basic solution. With K3RuCl6 as the source of a homogeneous catalyst solution, estimates were obtained at 30�0�C of k1 = 191. mol-1 s-1 and k2 = 1�4 × 103 l. mol-1 s-1.

The adsorption of chromium (VI) ions from aqueous solution was studied using pure and carbonized fluted pumpkin waste biomass (FPWB). The kinetic data shows a pseudo-first-order mechanism with rate constants of 1.26 × 10-2 and 1.933 × 10-2 mg g-1 min-1 for the pure and carbonized FPWB, respectively. While the pseudo-second-order mechanism has rate constants of 0.93 × 10-1 and 1.33 × 10-1 mg g-1 min-1 for the pure and carbonized waste biomass respectively. The pseudo-second order kinetic model was found to be more suitable for describing the experimental data based on the correlation coefficient values (R2) of 0.9975 and 0.9994 obtained for pure waste biomass (PWB) and carbonized waste biomass (CWB), respectively. The results obtained from this study show that PWB and CWB have very high removal capacity for chromium (VI) from aqueous solution over a range of reaction conditions. Thus, fluted pumpkin waste biomass (Telfairia occidentalis Hook F) is a potential sorbent for the treatment of industrial effluents containing chromium (VI) contaminant.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jncs.v27i1.6436 J.

AbstractA series of amino-acid based ionic liquids (Bmim[AA]s) have been synthesized and evaluated as catalysts, in aqueous solution. The results of a kinetic study of the thiol-Michael reaction of L-Cysteine with trans-β-nitrostyrene demonstrated the advantages of using (Bmim[AA]s) as organocatalysts. The benefits include high rate constants; mild reaction conditions; and, a reusable catalyst, which leads to a simple and efficient method for these important kinds of reactions.


The radiolysis of dilute aqueous solutions containing ethylene and oxygen has been investigated. Pulse radiolysis was used to measure the rate constants for the addition of hydroxyl radicals to ethylene, the binary decomposition of the resulting hydroxyethyl radicals and their addition to ethylene and reaction with oxygen to yield peroxy radicals. The rate constants have also been determined for the mutual interaction of the peroxy radicals and their reaction with ferrous ions. The principal products of γ -irradiation were aldehydes and organic hydroperoxides. Hydrogen peroxide was found in yields close to the molecular yield from water. The polymer produced in the absence of oxygen was not formed, and glycollaldehyde, reported as a major product by previous workers, could not be detected. At constant composition of the gas mixtures, product yields were unaffected by total pressure in the range up to 40 atm, but were strongly dependent on the proportion of oxygen. Aldehyde yields were markedly greater at pH 1.2 than in neutral solution. The influence of ferrous ions an d of added hydrogen peroxide has been determined. The pulse radiolysis and γ -irradiation experiments complement one another and show that the radiation-induced oxidation of ethylene in aqueous solution involves the same primary reactions as occur in the absence of oxygen, followed by the formation and further reactions of peroxy radicals.

Some rate constants for the reduction of para-substituted benzenediazonium ions by the radicals eaq-, ·CH2OH, (CH3)2·COH and some semiquinone radical anions have been measured. The substituent group has no effect on the rates with eaq-, but as the reduction potential of the reducing radical becomes more positive, the substituent effect increases, electron-withdrawing groups enhancing the rates. No free halide is formed on reduction of p-BrC6H4N2+ or p-IC6H4N2+ by eaq- or ·CH2OH.
