A flow-type apparatus is described and results given for the investigation of the kinetics of the silver catalyzed oxidation of C2H4 by oxygen. Using N2 as diluent, the concentrations of both O2 and C2H4 were varied independently from 9.9 to 79.0% and 2.35 to 9.40% respectively, whilst maintaining a total pressure of 1 atmosphere. Flow rates were varied to give a range of contact times varying from 0.05 to 1 sec. Measurements were made at 234 °C and 274 °C and the data used to estimate initial reaction velocities for both EtO and CO2 formation as a function of O2 and C2H4 partial pressures. These rates were fitted successfully to equations deduced theoretically in Part IV of the present series.

The rates of single reactions have been measured at 250 °C in the complex reaction of ethanol dehydration to ethylene and to diethyl ether involving also hydrolysis of the ether, its disproportionation to ethanol and ethylene and its dehydration to ethylene. The found dependences of the initial reaction rates on partial pressures of the reactants were correlated by semiempirical Langmuir-Hinshelwood type rate equations.

Catalyzed Oxidation

A flow type apparatus was used for kinetic studies of the silver catalyzed oxidation of ethylene oxide (EtO) by oxygen at 274 °C. Using N2 as diluent the concentrations of O2 and ethylene oxide were varied independently from 9.9 to 79% and 2.35 to 9.4% respectively while a total pressure of 1 atmosphere was maintained. Flow rates were varied to give a range of contact times varying from 0.06 to 0.25 sec. It was shown that EtO is oxidized without previous dissociation into C2H4 and O2. The dependence of the initial rate of oxidation of EtO on reactant concentrations excludes isomerization of EtO (to acetalde hyde) as a main step in its oxidation, and a direct oxidation mechanism is suggested. The results of a few experiments to determine the extent of isomerization of EtO to acetaldehyde in the absence of oxygen are presented. No steady state could be achieved but the results may be used semiquantitatively to support the belief that isomerization is not the rate determining step in the oxidation of ethylene oxide.

SummaryVarious investigators have separated the coagulation products formed when fibrinogen is clotted with thrombin and identified fibrinopeptides A and B. Two other peaks are observed in the chromatogram of the products of coagulation, but these have mostly been dismissed by other workers. They have been identified by us as amino acids, smaller peptides and amorphous material (37). We have re-chromatographed these peaks and identified several amino acids. In a closed system of fibrinogen and thrombin, the only reaction products should be fibrin and peptide A and peptide B. This reasoning has come about because thrombin has been reported to be specific for the glycyl-arginyl peptide bond. It is suggested that thrombin also breaks other peptide linkages and the Peptide A and Peptide B are attacked by thrombin to yield proteolytic products. Thrombin is therefore probably not specific for the glycyl-arginyl bond but will react on other linkages as well.If the aforementioned is correct then the fibrinopeptides A and B would cause an inhibition with the coagulation mechanism itself. We have shown that an inhibition does occur. We suggest that there is an autoinhibition to the clotting mechanism that might be a control mechanism in the human body.The experiment was designed for coagulation to occur under controlled conditions of temperature and time. Purified reactants were used. We assembled an apparatus to record visually the speed of the initial reaction, the rate of the reaction, and the density of the final clot formed after a specific time.The figures we derived made available to us data whereby we could calculate and plot the information to show the mechanism and suggest that such an inhibition does exist and also further suggest that it might be competitive.In order to prove true competitive inhibition it is necessary to fulfill the criteria of the Lineweaver-Burk plot. This has been done. We have also satisfied other criteria of Dixon (29) and Bergman (31) that suggest true competitive inhibition.

The phosphorus (P) chemistry of biochar (BC)-amended soils is poorly understood. This statement is based on the lack of published research attempting a comprehensive characterization of biochar’s influence on P sorption. Therefore, this study addressed the kinetic limitations of these processes. This was accomplished using a fast pyrolysis biochar made from a mix of waste materials applied to a highly weathered Latossolo Vermelho distrofico (Oxisol) from São Paulo, Brazil. Standard method (batch method) was used. The sorption kinetic studies indicated that P sorption in both cases, soil (S) and soil-biochar (SBC), had a relatively fast initial reaction between 0 to 5 min. This may have happened because adding biochar to the soil decreased P sorption capacity compared to the mineral soil alone. Presumably, this is a result of: (i) Inorganic phosphorus desorbed from biochar was resorbed onto the mineral soil; (ii) charcoal particles physically covered P sorption locations on soil; or (iii) the pH increased when BC was added SBC and the soil surface became more negatively charged, thus increasing anion repulsion and decreasing P sorption.

The Osmium (VIII) catalyzed oxidation of acetone and ethylmethyl ketone by chloramine-T, in highly alkaline solutions showed first order dependence to chloramine-T and osmium (VIII). The order of the reactions with respect to alkali and ketone were found to be fractional, being ~-0.82 and 0.3 respectively. No effects of ionic strength were evident. The mechanism has been proposed on the basis of the formation of a complex between N-chlorotoluene-p-sulfonamide and osmium (VIII) in the slow step, which in turn oxidizes the enol anion of the reducing substrate in the fast step.During the study of the mechanism of oxidations by chloramine-T, the kinetics of the oxidation of α-hydroxy acids 1 in presence of osmium (VIII) as catalyst, glycerol2 in neutral and alkaline media, p-cresol3 in an acidic medium, hexacyanoferrate (II)4 in a feebly acidic medium (pH 6-7) and aliphatic aldehydes 5 in alkaline media have been investigated.Despite the high redox potential6 of the chloramine-T/toluene sulfonamide system (1.138 V at pH 12), the oxidation of acetone does not take place in absence of catalyst and that of ethylmethyl ketone proceeds only in highly alkaline solutions7 (NaOH>0.01 M). In the present note the kinetics of the osmium (VIII) catalyzed oxidation of acetone and ethylmethyl ketone have been recorded.

ABSTRACTThe evaporation of organic by-products released during drying of 1-mm thick silicon tetramethoxide gels was analyzed using gas chromatography. The evaporation kinetics of methanol depended on the drying rate achieved by flowing dry air over the gel. For drying at flow rates less than 50 cm 3/min, exponential kinetics were observed initially with a long time constant (about 100- to 400-min). For drying rates greater than 70 cm3/min, diffusional (t−1/2) kinetics were observed initially. Cracking of the gel during drying was used to indicate the degree of stress. At low drying rates, minor cracking was observed near the edges of the gel. At high flow rates, extensive cracking was observed in samples that exhibited early t−1/2 kinetics. Monitoring the kinetics of drying is essential to optimizing the drying conditions to minimize stress and cracking in gels.
