Thymine in aqueous solution was decomposed with quantum yields of 0.3 and 0.4 under N2-saturated and aerated conditions by far-ultraviolet light (> 180 nm, far-uv), and quantum yields of 2 × 10−4 and 3 × 10−4 by near-ultraviolet light (> 220 nm, near-uv), respectively. The main photolytic products by far-uv were 5,6-dihydrothymine (DHT) (selectivity: S (DHT) = 0.2) and 5-hydroxymethyluracil (HMU) (S(HMU) = 0.1) under N2-saturated conditions, cis- and trans-5,6-Dihydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymine (TG), 6(5)-hydroperoxy-5(6)-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymine (HTP) (S(TG) + S (HTP) = 0.2), and N1 -formyl-N2-pyruvylurea (FPU) (S(FPU) = 0.4) were obtained under aerated conditions. These products were attributed to the reactions of thymine with the H and OH produced by photolysis of water.

Photomineralization of methane in air (10.0–1000 ppm (mass/volume) of C) at100%relative humidity (dioxygen as oxygen donor) was systematically studied at318±3 K in an annular laboratory-scale reactor by photocatalytic membranes immobilizing titanium dioxide as a function of substrate concentration, absorbed power per unit length of membrane, reactor geometry, and concentration of a proprietary vanadium alkoxide as photopromoter. Kinetics of both substrate disappearance, to yield intermediates, and total organic carbon (TOC) disappearance, to yield carbon dioxide, were followed. At a fixed value of irradiance (0.30 W⋅cm-1), the mineralization experiments in gaseous phase were repeated as a function of flow rate (4–400 m3⋅h−1). Moreover, at a standard flow rate of 300 m3⋅h−1, the ratio between the overall reaction volume and the length of the membrane was varied, substantially by varying the volume of reservoir, from and to which circulation of gaseous stream took place. Photomineralization of methane in aqueous solutions was also studied, in the same annular reactor and in the same conditions, but in a concentration range of 0.8–2.0 ppm of C, and by using stoichiometric hydrogen peroxide as an oxygen donor. A kinetic model was employed, from which, by a set of differential equations, four final optimised parameters,k1andK1,k2andK2, were calculated, which is able to fit the whole kinetic profile adequately. The influence of irradiance onk1andk2, as well as of flow rate onK1andK2, is rationalized. The influence of reactor geometry onkvalues is discussed in view of standardization procedures of photocatalytic experiments. Modeling of quantum yields, as a function of substrate concentration and irradiance, as well as of concentration of photopromoter, was carried out very satisfactorily. Kinetics of hydroxyl radicals reacting between themselves, leading to hydrogen peroxide, other than with substrate or intermediates leading to mineralization, were considered, and it is paralleled by a second competition kinetics involving superoxide radical anion.

The kinetics of oxidation of alkenes by thallic sulphate in aqueous solutions, involving the two reaction steps-the hydroxythallation and the dethallation - was studied, and the effect of salts on the kinetics was examined; this made it possible to specify more precisely the reaction mechanism and to suggest a qualitative model of the reaction coordinate. It was found that in homogeneous as well as in heterogeneous reaction conditions, the reaction can be accelerated appreciably by adding tetraalkylammonium salts. These salts not only operate as catalysts of the phase transfer, but also exert a significant kinetic effect, which can be explained with a simplification in terms of a stabilization of the transition state of the reaction.

Preparation of skeletal Co-Mo catalysts by controlled impregnation of aluminosilicate skeletons containing deposited gamma-alumina with aqueous solutions of active component precursors has been investigated. The activity of the laboratory catalysts in gas oil hydrodesulfurization has been determined. Kinetics of impregnation of skeletal supports, the effect of their type, and the dependence of catalyst activity on the content of cobalt and molybdenum sulfides are reported. HDS skeletal catalysts prepared were compared with the extruded types. It was found that skeletal HDS catalysts show the higher activity (related to the content of alumina and Co-Mo sulfides) than the extruded ones due to the less significant effect of internal diffusion. However, if the activity is related to the same volume of catalyst bed, the activity of skeletal catalysts is only one fourth of that of the extruded types.

The authors investigated periodic potential changes measured on oriented sections of Al single crystals during spontaneous dissolution in dilute aqueous solutions of KOH, with the aim to find optimum conditions for the formation of potential oscillations. It was found that this phenomenon is related with the kinetics of the reaction investigated, whose rate also changed periodically. The mechanism of the oscillations is discussed in view of the experimental findings.
