The oxidation of thioglycolic acid to dithiodiglycolic acid by potassium persulphate in aqueous solution in the absence of iron did not yield reproducible results, but satisfactory data were obtained when ferrous or ferric ions were added to the system. The catalyst cycle appears to be that ferrous ion is oxidized by persulphate to ferric ion, and the ferric ion is reduced back to ferrous ion by thioglycolic acid. In the absence of persulphate, the reaction of ferric ion with thioglycolic acid in acid solution (pH < 3) was second order in both ferric ion and thioglycolic acid concentrations and was markedly inhibited by hydrogen ion.

Bromide ion induced debromination of the anion of 4-bromo-4-methyl-2,5-cyclohexadienone-2-carboxylic acid (1) is catalyzed by cupric ions and ferric ions. Similarly, the enolization of the anion of the benzocyclohexadienone 3, which is formed during the bromination of 1-naphthol-2-carboxylic acid, is catalyzed by some metal ions. The origin of the catalysis in these reactions is strong metal ion binding to the incipient dianion products that are of the salicylate type. Evidence for this is that the efficiency of the metal (and hydrogen) ion catalysis parallels the stability of the analogous complexes with the salicylate dianion.

Sawdust of willow has been investigated as an adsorbent for the removal of Ni(II), and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution. Since willow tree is widely grown in almost all parts of Kashmir, it can be a common most easily available, sustainable, low cost adsorbent for the treatment of wastewaters in this part of the world where growing industrialization is affecting water quality like elsewhere in the world. Therefore, it is worthwhile to investigate the potential of sawdust of willow tree as an adsorbent for the removal of Ni(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution as a first step. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effect of some parameters such as contact time, initial concentration of metal ions, solution pH and temperature. Langmuir and Freundlich models were employed for the mechanistic analysis of experimental data obtained. Results reveal that in our system adsorption follows the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity of Ni(II) and Cd(II) were found to be 7.98 and 7.11 mg/g respectively at optimum conditions. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models were employed for kinetic analysis of adsorption process. The adsorption process follows pseudo-second-order kinetics. The efficacy of the adsorbent in the treatment of effluent from fertilizer factory has been investigated and the results have been found encouraging.

Batch experiments were conducted to study the adsorption of hazardous cadmium onto low-cost algae biomass in aqueous solution with respect to concentration of adsorbate, adsorbent dosage, contact time, solution pH and temperature. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms and the isotherm constants were determined. The activation energy of adsorption was also evaluated for the adsorption of cadmium onto Ulva lactuca biomass. Experimental data were tested in terms of biosorption kinetics using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The results showed that the biosorption processes of Cd(II) followed well pseudo-second-order kinetics. Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied to describe the biosorption isotherm of the metal ions by Ulva lactuca biomass. Langmuir model fitted the equilibrium data better than the Freundlich isotherm. The biosorption capacity of Ulva lactuca biomass for cadmium was found to be 3.02 mg/g at pH 5.60 min equilibrium time and 20 °C. The mean free energy which was calculated was 6.24 kJ/mol for Cd(II) biosorption, which shows that the adsorption is physical. The calculated thermodynamic parameters (ΔG0, ΔH0 and ΔS0) showed that the biosorption of Cd(II) onto Ulva lactuca biomass was feasible, spontaneous and exothermic under examined conditions. The results indicate that algae Ulva lactuca could be employed as a low-cost material for the removal of metal ions from aqueous solution.

The formation of a 1:1 π-complex between ethylene and ruthenium(II) in aqueous hydrochloric acid solution is described. The kinetics of the reaction were examined over a range of temperatures and of concentrations of ruthenium(II), ethylene, hydrogen ion, and chloride ion. The results suggest that complex formation proceeds through a stepwise (SN1) mechanism in which the initial step involves the dissociation of a chlororuthenate(II) complex.

In the present study, adsorption of copper (II) ions from aqueous solution by Activated Zizyphus Jujuba shell Nano Carbon was investigated under batch mode. The influence of solution pH, sorbent dose, copper concentration, contact time and temperature was studied. The copper adsorption was favored with maximum adsorption at pH 6.5. Sorption equilibrium time was observed in 60 min. The equilibrium adsorption data were correlated with Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Hurkins-Jura, Halsay, Radlich-Peterson, Jovanovic and BET isotherm models. The kinetics of the adsorption process was tested by pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second order, Elovich and Intra-particle diffusion models. It was shown that adsorption of copper could be described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. Thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs free energy (ΔG0), the enthalpy (ΔH0) and the entropy change of sorption (ΔS0) have also been evaluated and it has been found that the adsorption process was spontaneous, feasible and endothermic in nature. The results indicated that Activated Zizyphus Jujuba shell Nano Carbon can be used as an effective and low-cost adsorbent to remove copper (II) from aqueous solution.

This study investigates the biosorption of Ni2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ from aqueous solution by modified Newbouldia Leavis seed pod. The modification was done by acid treating air-dried activated Newbouldia Leavis seed pod by dissolving it in excess 1.0 M Mercapto acetic acid (HSCH2COOH) solution, stirred for 30 minutes and left to stand for 24 hours at 30 oC, filtered off using WhatmanNo. 41 filter paper and were air dried. The effects of solution pH and contact time were evaluated. The results showed that maximum Cd2+ and Ni2+ adsorption of 7.9872 mg/g and 7.9809 mg/g respectively occurred at pH of 6.0 while that of Pb2+ was 8.0000 mg/g, at a pH of 4.0. The optimum time for maximum adsorption of the three heavy metal ions were 110 min. The kinetic data revealed that the sorption process could best be described by the pseudo – second order kinetic model. The R2 values for the pseudo – second order kinetic plots were unity and were higher than first order reversible model and pseudo – first order plots. Moreover, the values of qcal and qexp obtained for pseudo – second order plots were very close indicating that the biosorption process followed the pseudo-second order kinetics. However, the transport mechanism for the process involved both intra-particle and liquid film diffusion.

SUMMARYThe wool-severing properties of 2·8% aqueous solution of calcium thioglycollate were increased by 76% by dissolving the depilatory agent in a KCl-NaOH buffer of pH 12·5. The optimum Ca-thioglycollate concentration for defleecing was 3·6%. One ml of this solution defleeced an area of 12·1 cma.A comparison of five buffers and water as solvents for 3·6% Ca-thioglycollate indicated that the area of skin defleeced was directly related to solution pH and the stubble remaining appeared to be inversely related to solution pH. A KCl-NaOH buffer of pH 12·0 provided the optimum relationship between area defleeced (10·2 cm2/ml applied) and stubble (ca. 2 mm wool) remaining.Single site applications of 0·1–1·0 ml of defleecing agent at skin level were compared and it was shown that the application of 0·1 ml aliquots would require 320 ml solution to defleece an average-sized sheep.Preliminary evaluation of 6% formaldehyde buffered to pH 6 and a carbowax-citric acid solution of pH 2 showed that protection of fibres against dissolution by Cathioglycollate solutions can be sustained for 21 days. Pre-treatment with these compounds could therefore produce a protected band of wool immediately above the proposed site of wool dissolution.The practical implications of these findings are discussed with regard to a wool harvesting programme.

Ferrous ion co-catalyst enhancement of dilute-acid (DA) pretreatment of biomass is a promising technology for increasing the release of sugars from recalcitrant lignocellulosic biomass. However, due to the reductive status of ferrous ion and its susceptibility to oxidation with exposure to atmosphere, its effective application presumably requires anaerobic aqueous conditions created by nitrogen gas-purging, which adds extra costs. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of oxidative iron ion, (i.e., ferric ion) as a co-catalyst in DA pretreatment of biomass, using an anaerobic chamber to strictly control exposure to oxygen during setup and post-pretreatment analyses. Remarkably, the ferric ions were found to be as efficient as ferrous ions in enhancing sugar release during DA pretreatment of biomass, which may be attributed to the observation that a major portion of the initial ferric ions were converted to ferrous during pretreatment. Furthermore, the detection of hydrogen peroxide in the liquors after DA/Fe ion pretreatment suggests that Fenton reaction chemistry was likely involved in DA/Fe ion pretreatments of biomass, contributing to the observed ferric and ferrous interchanges during pretreatment. These results help define the extent and specification requirements for applying iron ions as co-catalysts in DA pretreatments of biomass.
