A mathematical treatment is presented for the dependence of enzyme activity loss on the numbers and reactivities of the groups essential for catalytic function, when enzyme protein modification is carried out by the use of concentrations of protein reactive groups well in excess of that of modifying agent. Experimentally obtained data on the modification of rhodanese (thiosulphate sulphurtransferase, EC 2.8.1.1) by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid are presented, and it is shown that, at pH9.00, the fractional concentration of rhodanese groups, or of rhodanese group reactivities, essential for enzyme catalytic function is 0.88; this value is found to decrease with decreasing pH of the reaction medium. The possibility that rhodanese inactivation by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid is brought about by modification of groups other than amino groups is ruled out by a comparison of the enzyme-inactivation and protein-modification stoichiometries, for putative reaction models for enzyme and modifying agent.

The effect of small additions of 1-octene, butyl ethyl ether and triethylamine on the polymerization kinetics of isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) in benzene initiated with butyllithium was investigated by employing the GLC analysis. The addition of 1-octane was reflected only in a shorter induction period of the reaction; the effect on the propagation rate was insignificant. With the increasing amount of butyl ethyl ether, the polymerization rate increases linearly, while the reaction order with respect to the concentration of triethylamine is variable and increases from 0.33 to 0.66 with the increasing concentration of the initiator. For a constant concentration of triethylamine, the reaction order with respect to the initial concentration of the initiator was found to vary considerably, reaching even negative values. A reaction scheme was suggested, taking into account the competition between two different solvates of alkyllithium.

Abstract The purpose behind this research was to determine the optimum formulation and investigate the cure kinetics of a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)-based epoxy resin cured by dicyandiamide and diuron for use in prepregs. First, all formulations were examined by the tensile test, and then, the specimens with higher mechanical properties were further investigated by viscometry and tack tests. The cure kinetics of the best formulation (based on tack test) in nonisothermal mode was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry at different heating rates. Kissinger and Ozawa method was used for determining the kinetic parameters of the curing process. The activation energy obtained by this method was 71.43 kJ/mol. The heating rate had no significant effect on the reaction order and the total reaction order was approximately constant ( m + n ≅ 2.1 $m+n\cong 2.1$ ). By comparing the experimental data and the theoretical data obtained by Kissinger and Ozawa method, a good agreement was seen between them. By increasing the degree of conversion, the viscosity decreased; as the degree of conversion increased, so did the slope of viscosity. The results of the tack test also indicated that the highest tack could be obtained with 25% progress of curing.

Hydrogen chloride (HCl) oxidation has been investigated on technical membrane electrode assemblies in a cyclone flow cell. Influence of Nafion loading, temperature and hydrogen chloride mole fraction in the gas phase has been studied. The apparent kinetic parameters like reaction order with respect to HCl, Tafel slope and activation energy have been determined from polarization data. The apparent kinetic parameters suggest that the recombination of adsorbed Cl intermediate is the rate determining step.

Gases of m-xylene is one of the popurlar toxic pollutants in the exhaust gases, it is emitted into the environment from factories and engines because the fuel in the engine does not burn completely. The best solution in order to remove this toxic gases of m-xylene to protect the environment is transforming them completely into CO2 and H2O by catalysts. Perovskite of LaMnO3 is one of the catalysts that was synthesized and studied the catalytic properties in total oxidation of m-xylene in our previous report. Obtained results showed that the LaMnO3 perovskite has good catalytic characterizations such as large surface area and the amount of α-oxygen adsorbed on the catalyst is large too. So, it exhibits a good catalytic activity in total oxidation of m-xylene at relatively low reaction temperature. In present work, the reaction order  and kinetics of this reaction are determined. The obtained results demonstrated that the reaction order value with respect to m-xylene is equal to about 1, to oxygene is proximately equal to 0 and the order of reaction is equal to about 1. Based on reaction order data, it was thought that the pathway of m-xylene oxidation by air oxygen  over LaMnO3 may be followed through which the Langmuir - Hinshelwood mechanism.
