The low-temperature reduction of the mixed system nickel oxide-magnesium oxide with hydrogen was studied thermogravimetrically in the region 260-470 °C. The two oxides form in the whole composition region solid solutions, some physicochemical parameters of which vary nonmonotonically with the sample composition. The kinetics and degree of reduction of nickel oxide are appreciably affected by the presence of the unreduced magnesium oxide, in higher concentrations lowering the reaction rate. The kinetics of the reduction can be quantitatively described by the equation 1-(1-α)1/3 = kt, valid in dependence on the composition in differently wide ranges of the degree of reduction α. The reaction rate can be varied, particularly for samples with low contents of magnesium oxide, by heat treatment in inert atmosphere at 700 °C, and for all samples by irradiation by gamma rays or fast neutrons. The reduction rate grows with the increasing content of magnesium oxide up to a constant value. The positive effect increases with the increasing gamma dose and, according to the kind of radiation, in the order γ, n. The variation of the reactivity of irradiated or thermally treated mixed oxides is due predominantly to the shift of the equilibrium of the lattice defects, formation and stabilization of new centres, which affect the rate of nucleation of the forming metal phase.

Reduction of NiO-Mn2O3 mixed oxides with hydrogen was studied thermogravimetrically at 350-440°C; in the entire composition region, 0-100% of one component, total reduction with the formation of a heterogenous Ni-MnO system was observed. The character of the kinetic curves of reduction of Mn2O3 is affected by the way of preparation and heat treatment of the samples before their reduction in inert atmosphere. In the mixed oxide, nickel accelerates the reduction of manganese sesquioxide, proceeding via Mn3O4 intermediate product. The mutual interaction of the two components appears in the pronounced dependence of the reaction rate on the composition, correlable with the analogous dependence of the apparent activation energy of reduction. The extent of the interaction, morphological changes, and some physicochemical parameters depend upon the degree of dispersion of the two oxides, which is also a function of the composition. A prior irridation of the samples by gamma radiation, dose 8 . 105 Gy, or fast neutrons, fluency 6.8 . 1015 n/m2 (Dn = 28.1 Gy), brings about a substantial increase in the content of the chemisorbed oxygen, particularly in the range of excess Mn2O3. The gamma irradiation results in an acceleration of the reduction of the mixed oxides; the extent of this positive effect is a nonmonotonic function of the composition and depends markedly on the temperature. The complex influence of fast neutrons appears as a negative effect (lowering of the reduction rate) resulting from the destruction of the existing centres (the polishing effect); in dependence on the composition the effect inverts into a positive one on the generated and stabilized new centres, which affect the rate of nucleation of the nickel metal phase.

Catalytic activity of nickel-molybdenum catalysts for methanation of carbon monoxide and hydrogen was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry. The activity of NiMoOx systems exceeds that of carrier-free nickel if x < 2, and is conditioned by the oxidation degree of molybdenum, changing in dependence on the composition in the region Mo-MoO2. The activity of the catalysts is adversely affected by irradiation by fast neutrons, dose 28.1 Gy, or by γ rays using doses in the region 0.8-52 kGy. The system is most susceptible to irradiation in the region of low concentrations of the minor component (about 1 mol.%). The dependence of changes in catalytic activity of γ-irradiated samples on the dose exhibits a maximum in the range of 2-5 kGy. The changes in catalytic activity are stimulated by the change of reactivity of the starting mixed oxides, leading to different kinetics of their reduction and modification of their adsorption properties. The irradiation of the catalysts results in lowered concentration of the active centres for the methanation reaction.

The kinetics of the reduction by hydrogen of two series of NiO-Fe2O3 mixed oxides of different composition was studied in the temperature range 320 - 410 °C using thermogravimetry. Both series were prepared from different precursors that were thermally decomposed at different temperatures. The oxidizing ability of the surface ( the content of chemisorbed oxygen) is the only parameter from all physico-chemical properties studied that changed significantly during the pre-irridation of the system by 60Co gamma radiation (dose 505 kGy), by fast neutrons from the 252Cf source (dose Dn = 110 Gy) and by accelerated electrons (3 MeV, dose 500 kGy). A positive radiation effect was observed in the first case while the irritation by neutrons and electrons resulted in a negative effect. The magnitude of the effect depends on the composition and genesis of the system and it decreases in the sequence γ, e-, n. The radiation induced changes in the reduction kinetics of mixed oxides change their magnitude and sign in dependence on the composition and genesis. Not only the increase by an order of magnitude of the rate of the initial phase of the reduction which was ascribed to the partial reduction of hematite to magnetite but also the acceleration of the second step (reduction of Fe3O4 to Fe) was observed after the exposure to photons or fast neutrons. The radiation changes induced by electrons are limited only to the surface of the irradiated solid and they affect only the first step of the reduction. The maximum positive effect was observed in the region of high excess of hematite and its magnitude decreases with the increasing content of nickel oxide. The radiation effects decrease with the increasing temperature of the reduction and at about 400 °C the effect of irradiation is completely annealed.

The article shows studies characterizing the quality of the squeeze: the mechanical composition of the squeeze is determined, the structural moisture of each component is determined, the sugar content in the formed process of sedimentation of the juice and its acidity are determined refractometrically. The kinetics of anthocyanins extraction was determined in two ways, the solids content in the extract was calculated, and the reaction rate constants of the extraction process and the efficiency coefficient of ultrasonic amplification of the extraction process speed were calculated.

Glyphosate (GP) is a widely used herbicide worldwide, yet accumulation of GP and its main byproduct, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), in soil and water has raised concerns about its potential effects to human health. Thermal treatment processes are one option for decontaminating material containing GP and AMPA, yet the thermal decomposition chemistry of these compounds remains poorly understood. Here, we have revealed the thermal decomposition mechanism of GP and AMPA by applying computational chemistry and reaction rate theory methods. <br>

Silica suspensions (pH = 6.8) and three different cationic polymers were used to study the kinetics of charge neutralization by polyelectrolyte adsorption. The experiments were performed in a continuous flow pipe reactor under steady state turbulent flow conditions. The charge neutralization was monitored by electrophoretic mobility (EPM) measurements of the suspended particles as a function of time after polyelectrolyte audition. The results show the dependency of the destabilization reaction rate on flow and polymer characteristics.

We investigated the effect of origin and some physico-chemical parameters on the kinetics of reduction with hydrogen of two series of mixed NiO-Fe2O3 oxides differing by their composition, the character of their precursors (mixed crystalline nitrates and coprecipitated hydroxides) and their decomposition temperature.This effect manifested itself by different magnitudes of specific surfaces of the mixed oxides and coherent regions of present phases as well as by different oxidizing abilities of the surface and differences in morphology and phase composition of corresponding samples in both series investigated. Nonlinear or nonmonotonous composition dependences of physico-chemical parameters investigated point to a mutual influence of individual components, which is also a function of the system origin and which modifies its reactivity during its reduction with hydrogen. The kinetics of the reduction was studied thermogravimetrically at 320-410 °C. The reduction of oxides of the hydroxide origin is catalytically accelerated by primarily reduced nickel, whereas in corresponding samples of the nitrate series, the total NiO is bound to the spinel phase and the reduction is delayed. Experimental IR spectra, the effect of preliminary annealing and DTA of the mixed oxides point to an inhibitory effect of water, which is constitutionally bound in trace admixtures of the goethite phase, on the kinetics of reduction of samples in the hydroxide series.

Kinetics of formation of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles from 24 substitution derivatives of O-benzoylbenzamidoxime have been studied in sulphuric acid and aqueous ethanol media. It has been found that this medium requires introduction of the Hammett H0 function instead of the pH scale beginning as low as from 0.1% solutions of mineral acids. Effects of the acid concentration, ionic strength, and temperature on the reaction rate and on the kinetic isotope effect have been followed. From these dependences and from polar effects of substituents it was concluded that along with the cyclization to 1,2,4-oxadiazoles there proceeds hydrolysis to benzamidoxime and benzoic acid. The reaction is thermodynamically controlled by the acid-base equilibrium of the O-benzylated benzamidoximes.

Kinetics of CO methanation on a commercial Ni/SiO2 catalyst was evaluated at atmospheric pressure, between 528 and 550 K and for hydrogen to carbon monoxide molar ratios ranging from 3 : 1 to 200 : 1. The effect of reaction products on the reaction rate was also examined. Below 550 K, only methane was selectively formed. Above this temperature, the formation of carbon dioxide was also observed. The experimental data could be described by two modified Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic models, based on hydrogenation of surface CO by molecularly or by dissociatively adsorbed hydrogen in the rate-determining step. Water reversibly lowered catalyst activity and its effect was more pronounced at higher temperature.
