Attempts were made to study the kinetics of the reaction of atomic H with (CF3)2CO vapour (HFA). Atomic H was generated from H2 by mercury photosensitization in the presence of C2H4 and HFA but the system was complicated by the loss of C2H5 radicals by addition to HFA and the kinetic results were intractable. When atomic H was generated from C3H8, the kinetics again were obscured by some unidentified reaction(s) which became more important at higher [HFA]/[C3H8]. An estimate of the rate constant for the addition of H to HFA obtained at low [HFA]/[C3H8] yielded k9 = 8.5 × 105 l mol−1 s−1. Trifluoroacetaldehyde was identified with some reliability but many of the other heavier products formed in the H2 + HFA reaction could not be identified. Quenching cross-sections were determined for C2H4, C3H8, C4H10, and HFA relative to that for N2O.

A system for the measurement of rate constants for elementary reactions of hydrogen atoms in the temperature region of 1000 K is described. The concentration of hydrogen atoms is controlled by the equilibrium constant for dissociation of hydrogen molecules. The kinetics of the rate of conversion of ethane to ethylene in this system has been studied over the temperature range 876–1016 K. The results show that the rate-controlling step is[Formula: see text]and the value obtained for the rate constant is[Formula: see text](R = 1.987 cal mol−1 deg−1). This value is compared with values obtained from other methods over the temperature range 300–1400 K. Combination with a recent measurement of the rate constant for the reverse reaction yields an experimental value for the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

A system for the measurement of the rate constant for the elementary reaction[Formula: see text]in the temperature range 1111–1200 K is described and is based on the thermal production of an equilibrium concentration of hydrogen atoms. In a mixture of hydrogen with about 10 ppm ethylene this reaction is the rate-controlling step in the hydrogenation of ethylene. The product ethane undergoes rapid secondary dissociation and the final product is methane. The values obtained in the present work, which are represented by the following expression,[Formula: see text](R = 1.987 cal mol−1 deg−1) are compared to those obtained at lower temperature (820–350 K) and to those calculated from measurements of the reverse reaction.

Kinetics have been studied of gradual replacement of 4-methoxyphenylazo groups in 2,6-dioxo-5(3)-(4-methoxyphenylazo)-3(5)-(4-methoxyphenylhydrazono)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-4-carboxylic acid (IIIa) by 4-nitrophenylazo groups using the reaction with 4-nitrobenzenediazonium cation (IIc) in acetate and phosphate buffers. The rate constant of replacement of the second methoxyphenylazo group is lower by a factor of ca 60. From the experimentally found pKa values of the corresponding azohydrazone compounds with methoxy, chloro, or nitro substituent at 4-position (IIIa - IIIf) it has been concluded that the 5(3)-(4-methoxyphenylazo)-3(5)-(4-nitrophenylhydrazono) derivative is formed in the first step.

Selenium (Se) is an essential and crucial micronutrient for humans and animals, but excessive Se brings negativity and toxicity. The adsorption and oxidation of Se(IV) on Mn-oxide surfaces are important processes for understanding the geochemical fate of Se and developing engineered remediation strategies. In this study, the characterization of simultaneous adsorption, oxidation, and desorption of Se(IV) on δ-MnO2 mineral was carried out using stirred-flow reactors. About 9.5% to 25.3% of Se(IV) was oxidized to Se(VI) in the stirred-flow system in a continuous and slow process, with the kinetic rate constant k of 0.032 h−1, which was significantly higher than the apparent rate constant of 0.0014 h−1 obtained by the quasi-level kinetic fit of the batch method. The oxidation reaction was driven by proton concentration, and its rate also depended on the Se(IV) influent concentration, flow rate, and δ-MnO2 dosage. During the reaction of Se(IV) and δ-MnO2, Mn(II) was produced and adsorbed strongly on Mn oxide surfaces, which was evidenced by the total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) results. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data indicated that the reaction of Se(VI) on δ-MnO2 produced Mn(III) as the main product. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of the interface chemical process of Se(IV) with δ-MnO2 in the environment.

AbstractThe physical properties and water absorption kinetics of three varieties of Mucuna beans (Mucuna pruriens, Mucuna rajada and Mucuna veracruz) were determined in this study. Physical properties including length, width, thickness, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, porosity, bulk density, area, volume and one thousand seed mass were calculated while hydration kinetics was studied by soaking Mucuna beans in water at 30 °C, 40 °C and 50 °C and measuring water uptake at 9 h interval. Peleg’s equation was used to model the hydration characteristics and Arrhenius equation was used to describe the effect of temperature on Peleg’s rate constant k1 and to obtain the activation energies for soaking. Significant variations were observed in almost all the physical properties of the different varieties, however, there were no significant differences (p < 0.05) in their thicknesses and bulk densities. The effectiveness of fit of Peleg’s model (R2) increased with increase in soaking temperature. Peleg’s rate constant k1 decreased with increase in soaking temperature while k2 increased with temperature increase. Activation energies of Mucuna pruriens, Mucuna rajada and Mucuna veracruz were 1613.24 kJ/mol, 747.95 kJ/mol and 2743.64 kJ/mol, respectively. This study provides useful information about the properties of three varieties of Mucuna beans that could be of importance to processors and engineers for process design and optimization.

The oxo-bridged complex ( py ) FePc - O - FePc ( py ) ( py = pyridine , Pc = phthalocyaninato dianion) reacts in dichloromethane with hydrogen sulphide giving elementary sulphur and the reduced ( py )2( FePc ) complex in the stoichiometric ratio 1:1. Under excess py and H2S , the reaction is first-order and the rate constant at a given py concentration is an increasing function of the reducing agent concentration, with asymptotic tendency to a limiting value. This latter depends on the pyridine concentration being higher the lower is the base concentration. When the reaction is carried out in pure pyridine, the rate constant is, instead, a strictly linear function of [ H2S ], with zero intercept. A reaction mechanism is proposed where the dichloromethane is directly involved in the axial coordination about the iron centers and H2S competes efficiently with both pyridine and solvent.

An idealized model for the kinetics of benzo[ a]pyrene (BaP) metabolism is established. As observed from experimental results, the BaP transfer from microcrystals to the cell membrane is definitely a first-order process. The rate constant of this process is signified as k1. We describe the surface–midplane exchange as reversible and use rate constants k2 and k3 to describe the inward and outward diffusions, respectively. The metabolism is identified as an irreversible reaction with a rate constant k4. If k2 and k3 are assumed to be fast and not rate determining, the effect of the metabolism rate, k4, on the number density of BaP in the midplane of the microsomal membrane, m3, can be estimated. If the metabolism rate is faster than or comparable to the distribution rates, k2 and k3, the BaP concentration in the membrane midplane, m3, will quickly be dissipated. But if k4 is extremely small, m3 will reach a plateau. Under conditions when k2 and k3 also play significant roles in determining the overall rate, more complicated patterns of m3 are expected.
