Nitroform is the major radiation induced species observed after the pulse radiolysis of acidic oxygen saturated solutions of tetranitromethane (TNM) and formic acid. It is formed in three stages, of which a major component at pH < 3 is first order with t1/2 = 49 s, independent of [TNM] and pH. Evidence is provided for the reactions[Formula: see text]in which k14 = 0.014 ± 0.002 s−1. The data support similar conclusions reached previously in rapid mixingexperiments (1) from which it was concluded that k3 = 4 × 109 dm3 mol−1 s−1.Analysis of the fastest component of nitroform production over the pH range 1–4 shows that the COOH radical reduces TNM to nitroform with a rate constant about four times greater than that for its reaction with oxygen to produce HO2.

Oxidation of Ni2+,aq, by S2O82- to nickel(IV) in the presence of molybdate ion, as in the analogous manganese system, involves the formation of the soluble heteropolymolybdate anion [MMogO32]2- (M = Ni, Mn ). The nickel(IV) product crystallized as (NH4)6 [NiMogO32].6H2O from the reaction mixture in the rhombohedra1 space group R3, a 15.922(1), c 12.406(1) � ; the structure was determined by X-ray diffraction methods, and refined to a residual of 0.025 for 1741 independent 'observed' reflections. The kinetics of the oxidation were examined at 80 C over the pH range 3.0-5.2; a linear dependence on [S2O82-] and a non-linear dependence on l/[H+] were observed. The influence of variation of the Ni/Mo ratio between 1:10 and 1:25 on the observed rate constant was very small at pH 4.5, a result supporting the view that the precursor exists as the known [NiMo6O24H6]4- or a close analogue in solution. The pH dependence of the observed rate constant at a fixed oxidant concentration (0.025 mol dm-3) fits dequately to the expression kobs = kH [H+]/(Ka+[H+]) where kH = 0.0013 dm3 mol-1 s-1 and Ka = 4-0x10-5. The first-order dependence on peroxodisulfate subsequently yields a second-order rate constant of 0.042 dm3 mol-1 s-1. Under analogous conditions, oxidation of manganese(II) occurs eightfold more slowly than oxidation of nickel(II), whereas oxidation of manganese(II) by peroxomonosulfuric acid is 16-fold faster than oxidation by peroxodisulfate under similar conditions.

In this research, treatment of diatomaceous earth, Sangiran, Central Java using hydrogen chloride (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) on kinetics of Cd(II) adsorption in aqueous solution has been carried out. The work was conducted by mixing an amount of grounded diatomaceous earth (200 mesh in size) with HCl or H2SO4 solution in various concentrations for two hours at temperature range of 100 - 150oC. The mixture was then filtered and washed with water until the filtrate pH is approximately 7 and then the residue was dried for four hours at a temperature of 70oC. The product was used as an adsorbent to adsorb Cd(II) in aqueous solution with various concentrations. The Cd(II) adsorbed was determined by analyzing the rest of Cd(II) in the solution using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The effect of treatment was evaluated from kinetic parameter of adsorption rate constant calculated based on the simple kinetic model. Results showed  that before equilibrium condition reached, adsorpstion of Cd(II) occurred through two steps, i.e. a step tends to follow a reaction of irreversible first order  (step I) followed by reaction of reversible first order (step II). Treatment with acids, either hydrogen chloride or sulfuric acid, decreased adsorption rate constant for the step I from 15.2/min to a range of 6.4 - 9.4/min.  However, increasing concentration of acid (in a range of concentration investigated) did not give significant and constant change of adsorption rate constant. For step II process,  adsorption involved physical interaction with the sufficient low adsorption energy (in a range of 311.3 - 1001 J/mol).     Keywords: adsorption, cdmium, diatomaceous earth, kinetics.

The One

The one electron oxidant •Br2− reacts with 5-methyl-1-thia-5-azacyclooctane (4) in aqueous solution at high pH with an overall rate constant of ~2 × 108 M s−1. The radical intermediate produced has a broad maximum at 500 nm with ε = 2400 M−1 cm−1 and at pH 10 decays with a first order rate constant of 2.3 ± 0.3 × 104 s−1, first half-life of 30 ± 5 μs. Its characteristics do not correspond to those of the [Formula: see text] species reported by Asmus and co-workers. The species appears to be the same as the cation radical reported earlier in the one electron oxidation of 4 in acetonitrile. This species is considered to have an [Formula: see text] type structure, which provides transannular stabilization.

Radiation Induced

The radiolysis of dilute aqueous solutions containing ethylene and oxygen has been investigated. Pulse radiolysis was used to measure the rate constants for the addition of hydroxyl radicals to ethylene, the binary decomposition of the resulting hydroxyethyl radicals and their addition to ethylene and reaction with oxygen to yield peroxy radicals. The rate constants have also been determined for the mutual interaction of the peroxy radicals and their reaction with ferrous ions. The principal products of γ -irradiation were aldehydes and organic hydroperoxides. Hydrogen peroxide was found in yields close to the molecular yield from water. The polymer produced in the absence of oxygen was not formed, and glycollaldehyde, reported as a major product by previous workers, could not be detected. At constant composition of the gas mixtures, product yields were unaffected by total pressure in the range up to 40 atm, but were strongly dependent on the proportion of oxygen. Aldehyde yields were markedly greater at pH 1.2 than in neutral solution. The influence of ferrous ions an d of added hydrogen peroxide has been determined. The pulse radiolysis and γ -irradiation experiments complement one another and show that the radiation-induced oxidation of ethylene in aqueous solution involves the same primary reactions as occur in the absence of oxygen, followed by the formation and further reactions of peroxy radicals.

To study the reaction of the solvated electron with 5-bromouracil an aqueous solution has been examined by conductometric pulse radiolysis at pH values between 4.68 and 8.74. Alcohol was added to scavenge the hydrogen atom and the hydroxyl radical. G(Br—) = (2.64 ± 0.08)/100 eV was found to be independent of the pH. The mobility of the bromouracil mono-anion was measured to be (2.7 ± 0.2) 10-4 cm2 V-1 s-1 at 20°C, and the rate constant of reaction (3b) was determined to be k(H+ BrUr-) = (2.3 ± 0.2) 1010 I mole-1 s-1*.

Homogeneous Decomposition

By use of reaction vessels with specially treated surfaces the homogeneous decomposition of formic acid has been studied kinetically in the range 436 to 532°C. Neither of the two simultaneous reactions ( a ) HCOOH = CO 2 + H 2 , ( b ) HCOOH = CO + H 2 O, is retarded by the usual inhibitors of chain processes. Each appears to be molecular. Reaction ( a ) is of the first order in the range 3 to 650 mm, the first-order rate constant being given by k CO 2 = 10 4⋅8 exp (–30600/ RT )s -1 . It is suggested tentatively that the abnormal kinetic parameters might be explained by regarding the reaction as a decarboxylation of (H + ) (HCOO¯) ion pairs present in minute concentration. Reaction ( b ) shows a pressure dependence most simply explained by a superposition of a predominant second-order component with a small first-order component. The most satisfactory interpretation of the second-order reaction is that it represents the unimolecular decomposition of dimer molecules, known to be present in formic-acid vapour. On this basis the rate constant is given by k CO dimer = 10 13⋅58 exp (–42600/ RT )s -1 , the kinetic parameters thus being in the normal range. The various alternative interpretations are discussed.

The radiation-induced oxidation of 2-propanol to acetone by N2O in alkaline aqueous solution proceeds via a free radical chain mechanism independent of pH above 12.5. The results are explained by abstraction of H from 2-propanol by O− at both the α and β positions (85% α attack). Chain propagation is by reaction of the α radical anion, (CH3)2ĊO−, with N2O with a rate constant of (3.8 ± 0.4) × 104 M−1 s−1 and by reaction of the β radical, ĊH2(CH3)CHOH, with 2-propanol to give the α radical with a rate constant of 430 ± 30 M−1 s−1.The conclusions are supported by the demonstration of kinetic isotope effects for selectively deuterated alcohols.

Mechanism Of The Reaction

Dimethyl acetylphosphonate (DAP) is rapidly cleaved in water to acetate and dimethylphosphonic acid. The half time for reaction at pH 7, 25 °C is estimated to be 3 s. The reaction is first order in hydroxide ion concentration and first order in DAP concentration. Rates of reaction were measured over the pH range 3.8 to 6.5 at 25 °C, 6.5 and 7.0 at 5 °C, 4.5 to 6.5 at 35 °C, and 4.5 to 6.0 at 45 °C. The average observed second-order rate constant at 25 °C is 2.4 × 106M−1 s−1. DAP is converted rapidly to a hydrated carbonyl adduct. The mechanism for the formation of the observed products is proposed to be analogous to cleavage reactions of other carbonyl hydrates, proceeding from a monoanion conjugate in this case. The estimated rate constant for the unimolecular cleavage of the carbonyl hydrate anion is 2 × 103 s−1. The rapid hydrolysis of DAP results from energetically favourable formation of a hydrate due to the electronic effect of the phosphonate diester. This effect also promoles ionization of the hydrate. The ionized hydrate readily expels the phosphonate diester to achieve the overall rapid hydrolysis.

The formation of I ̅ 2 and (CNS) ̅ 2 has been observed in aqueous solution of KI and KCNS respectively following irradiation with nanosecond pulses of 3 MeV electrons. In both cases it is necessary to invoke the intermediate and consecutive formation of two species which do not absorb light at the monitoring wavelength. The following mechanism is invoked for the formation of X ̅ 2 (where X ̅ = I ̅ or CNS ̅ ): OH + X ̅ → HOX ̅ , (5 a ) HOX ̅ → OH ̅ + X , (5 b ) X ̅ + X ̅ ⇌ X ̅ 2 (6) For the iodide solutions the rate constants were evaluated as k 5 a = k 6 = (1.21 + 0.08) x 10 10 1 mol -1 s -1 and k 5 b = (1.2 ± 1.0) x 10 8 s -1 . In the case of the thiocyanate solutions k 5 a = k 6 = (1.08 ± 0.10) x 10 10 1 mol -1 s -1 and HOCNS ̅ is estimated to have a lifetime of about 5 ns. The radiation induced oxidation of N, N , N', N' -tetramethyl- p -phenylenediamine (TMPD) to Wurster’s Blue cation (TMPD + ) has been observed by nanosecond pulse radiolysis of solutions of TMPD in methanol. It is concluded that the oxidation of TMPD is by methoxy radicals and the rate constants k CH 2 O. +TMPD and k CH 2 O.+CH 3 OH are evaluated to be (6·10 ± 0·05) x 10 9 1 mol -1 s -1 and 2·63 + 0·10 x 10 5 1 mol -1 s -1 respectively. Thus the half-life of methoxy radicals in pure methanol is 106 ns. The formation of I ̅ 2 was observed in methanolic solutions of KI. The oxidizing species is thought to be the m ethoxy radical and the mechanism of formation of I ̅ 2 is by the reactions CH 3 O + I ̅ → CH 3 O ̅ + I ̅ , I + I ̅ ⇌ I ̅ 2 . The rate constant of reaction (1) and the forward rate of the equilibrium (2) are estimated to be (3·7 ± 0.3) x 10 9 1 mol -1 s -1 an d (2·6 ± 0·4) x 10 10 1 mol -1 s -1 respectively. Observations on the transient u.v. absorption band of pulse irradiated methanol suggest that the spectra of CH 3 O and CH 2 OH are very similar for λ = 250 to 320 nm.

The decarboxylation of pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid in aqueous buffers at 50° and ionic strength 1.0 has been found to be first order with respect to substrate at a fixed pH. As the pH is decreased, the rate constant increases slightly in the pH range 3–1, then rises rapidly from pH 1 to 10 M HCl. The 13C-carboxyl kinetic isotope effect is 2.8% in 4 M HClO4 and negligible at pH ~ 3. These observations can be accounted for by a mechanism, previously proposed for the decarboxylation of anthranilic acid, in which the species undergoing decarboxylation is the carboxylate ion protonated at the 2-position of the pyrrole ring. This intermediate can be formed both by ring-protonation of the carboxylate anion and by ionization of the ring-protonated acid. At low acidities ring-protonation is rate determining, but at higher acidities the rate of protonation exceeds that of decarboxylation.
