The kinetics of the action of fumarase on L-malate and fumarate were investigated at constant ionic strength. This was done to evaluate reports that fumarase follows simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics. However, when pH, buffer concentration and ionic strength are all maintained at constant values, the Lineweaver-Burk plots exhibit pronounced downward curvature, characteristic of negative kinetic co-operativity.

The kinetics of oxidation of arsenic(III) by hexachloroiridate(IV) at lower acid concentrations and at constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm-3 have been investigated spectrophotometrically. A first-order reaction in [IrCl62-] and fractional order with respect to arsenic(III) have been observed. A kinetic evidence for the formation of an intermediate complex between the hydrolyzed arsenic(III) species and the oxidant was presented. The results showed that decreasing the [H+] is accompanied by an appreciable acceleration of the rate of oxidation. The activation parameters have been evaluated and a mechanism consistent with the kinetic results was suggested.

The aggregations of protoporphyrin IX and haematoporphyrin IX in aqueous solutions were studied by fluorimetric techniques. Porphyrin concentrations were limited to 0.001-0.1 microM and 0.01-1 microM for protoporphyrin and haematoporphyrin respectively, where dimerization is the dominant aggregation process. The dimerization equilibrium constants (at 25 degrees C, neutral pH, 50 mM-Tris/HCl buffer) were determined to be 3×10(7) M and 4×10(5) M for the proto and the haemato derivatives respectively. The fluorescence intensity of a given protoporphyrin solution (within the range indicated above) was markedly decreased by salts in the system, over the salt concentration range 0.1-7 mM at constant ionic strength, in the sequence CaCl2 greater than MgCl2 greater than KCl greater than NaCl. The direction of this effect, fluorescence quenching, suggests that these salts promote an increase in aggregation. The differences in the magnitudes of the effect, among different salt species sharing a common anion, at constant ionic strength, imply that the effect is cation-specific. In contrast, the fluorescence intensity of a given solution of haematoporphyrin (within the range indicated above) was unaffected by these salts, under similar concentrations, nor was it sensitive to the total buffer concentration, or to the type of buffer in the system.

The kinetics of ligand substitution reactions in triglycinatovanadium(III) by EDTA and NTA as multidentate ligands were investigated at a constant ionic strength of 2.5 mol dm-3 spectrophotometrically. The substitutions were second-order reactions, first order in both reactants. Their rate could be expressed in the form r = k [V(gly)3] [EDTA(NTA)] where k = 2.62 .10-2 and 6.96 .10-2 mol-1 dm3 s-1 at 25 °C for EDTA and NTA, respectively. The results obtained at different pH indicated that [H2edta]2- and [Hnta]2- ions were the most reactive species in the substitution. Kinetic parameters have been evaluated and a tentative mechanism of the reaction has been proposed.

The removal of heavy metals from wastewaters is a matter of paramount importance due to the fact that their high toxicity causes major environmental pollution problems. One of the most efficient, applicable and low cost methods for the removal of toxic metals from aqueous solutions is that of their adsorption on an inorganic adsorbent. In order to achieve high efficiency, it is important to understand the influence of the solution parameters on the extent of the adsorption, as well as the kinetics of the adsorption. In the present work, the adsorption of Cu(II) species onto TiO2 surface was studied. It was found that the adsorption is a rapid process and it is not affected by the value of ionic strength. In addition, it was found that by increasing the pH, the adsorbed amount of Cu2+ ions and the value of the adsorption constant increase, whereas the value of the lateral interaction energy decreases.
