Kinetics of reduction of p-nitrotoluene by hydrazine in presence of Raney nickel catalyst have been studied spectrophotometrically. It has been found that the reaction is first order with respect to both hydrazine and nitrotoluene. The influence of solvent, salt, and the amount of catalyst on the reaction rate has been investigated. The rate constant was found to depend on the dielectric constant, the ionic strength, and on the catalyst concentration. The activation energy was estimated to be 103.92 kJ mol−1 in 73.58% ethanol in water. This value decreases considerably when the polarity of the solvent increases and when other salts are added. In pure water the value is 32.25 kJ mol−1.

The kinetics of TBBPA degradation by ozonation in semi-batch reactor was studied. The reaction rate constants of TBBPA with O3 and •OH were measured by means of direct ozone attack and competition kinetics, and the values of which were 6.10 l/(mol•s), 4.8×109 l/(mol•s), respectively. Results of kinetic studies showed that TBBPA degradation by ozonation under the different conditions tested followed the pseudo-first-order. The values of apparent rate constant of TBBPA degradation increased with the increase of ozone dosage and pH, but decreased with the increase of initial TBBPA concentration.

The kinetics of the reduction of nitrogen oxide by carbon monoxide on CuO/Al2O3 catalyst (8.36 mass % CuO) were determined at temperatures between 413 and 473 K. The reaction was found to be first order in NO and zero order in CO. The observed kinetics are consistent with a rate equation derived from a mechanism proposed on the basis of IR spectroscopic measurements.

Kinetic data are reported for the decarboxylation of β-resorcylic acid in resorcinol and catechol for the first time. The reaction is first order. The observation supports the view that the decomposition proceeds through an intermediate complex mechanism. The parameters of the absolute reaction rate equation are calculated.

Kinetic studies on soil potassium release can contribute to a better understanding of K availability to plants. This study was conducted to evaluate K release rates from the whole soil, clay, silt, and sand fractions of B-horizon samples of a basalt-derived Oxisol and a sienite-derived Ultisol, both representative soils from coffee regions of Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Potassium was extracted from each fraction after eight different shaking time periods (0-665 h) with either 0.001 mol L-1 citrate or oxalate at a 1:10 solid:solution ratio. First-order, Elovich, zero-order, and parabolic diffusion equations were used to parameterize the time dependence of K release. For the Oxisol, the first-order equation fitted best to the experimental data of K release, with similar rates for all fractions and independent of the presence of citrate or oxalate in the extractant solution. For all studied Ultisol fractions, in which K release rates increased when extractions were performed with citrate solution, the Elovich model described K release kinetics most adequately. The highest potassium release rate of the Ultisol silt fraction was probably due to the transference of "non-exchangeable" K to the extractant solution, whereas in the Oxisol exchangeable potassium represented the main K source in all studied fractions.

In order to evaluate the feasibility of tritium recovery from tritiated water by thermochemical decomposition using ZrNi5, the kinetics of reaction between ZrNi5 and water vapor was studied by thermogravimetric method in the temperature range from 673K to 823K. The result shows that reaction rate increased significantly with the increasing of temperature and H2O concentration; the reaction mechanism for ZrNi5 can be described by the first-order chemical reaction, and the reaction is first order for H2O concentration. The reaction activation energy of ZrNi5 is 55.8kJ/mol calculated from the Arrhenius equation.

The alcoholysis of 1,2,2-trimethylpropyl-methylfluorophosphonate (soman) was examined with a series of alkoxides and in corresponding alcohols: methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 2-methoxyethanol and 2-ethoxyethanol. Soman reacts with the used alkoxides in a second order reaction, first order in each reactant. The kinetics of the reaction between 1,2,2-trimethylpropyl-methylfluorophosphonate and ethanol in the presence of diethylenetriamine was also examined. A third order reaction rate constant was calculated, first order in each reactant. The activation energy, frequency factor and activation entropy were determined on the basis of the kinetic data.

First order rate constants of the reaction of a series of SH-, imidazole- and imidazole/SH-compounds with FDNB as well as their pH- and temperature dependence were determined. Some of the tested imidazole/SH-compounds exhibit a higher nucleophilic reactivity as is expected on the basis of their pKSH-values. This enhanced reactivity is caused by an activation of the SH-groups by a neighbouring imidazole residue. The pH-independent rate constants were calculated using the Lindley equation.The kinetics of DNP-transfer from DNP-imidazole to SH-compounds were investigated. The pH-dependence of the reaction displays a maximum curve. Donor in this reaction is the DNP-imidazolecation and acceptor the thiolate anion.The reaction rate of FDNB with imidazole derivatives is two to three orders of magnitude slower than with SH-compounds.No inter- or intra-molecular transfer of the DNP-residue from sulfure to imidazole takes place.

The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of n-butane has been investigated at pressures from 5 to 60 cm. and temperatures from 513 to 572 °C. The initial first order rate constants at high pressures are given by[Formula: see text]The results are in good agreement with the work of Frey and Hepp, but differ greatly from that of Paul and Marek. The reaction rate falls off strongly with diminishing pressure; this is rather surprising for a molecule as complex as butane. The first order constants in a given run fall rapidly as the reaction progresses. The last two facts suggest that chain processes may be involved.A large number of analyses of the products of reaction have been made at various pressures, temperatures, and stages of the reaction, the method being that of low-temperature fractional distillation. The products are virtually independent of temperature and pressure over the range investigated. The initial products, obtained by extrapolation to zero decomposition, are:—H2, 2.9; CH4, 33.9; C3H6, 33.9; C2H4, 15.2; C2H6, 14.1%. The mechanism of the reaction is discussed, and the results are compared with those of the other paraffin decompositions.

The principal reaction of methyl-bis-β-chloroethylamine in methanol is dimerization, which results in one chlorine from each molecule becoming ionic, but this is accompanied by slight alcoholysis. The rate-controlling step is believed to be the first order formation of an ethylenimonium ion which reacts rapidly with one of its kind to form dimer. The rate expression as calculated from initial rate constants is k (initial) = 4.0 × 1013e−19600/RThr.−1.

A nickel phosphide hydrodeoxygenation catalyst (Ni2P-O/MCM-41) was prepared using a new synthetic method. The as-prepared catalyst was evaluated in the hydrodeoxygenation of benzofuran, and the effects of reaction temperature, pressure, and the H2/liquid ratio were investigated. A pseudo first-order model was employed to describe the reaction kinetics of benzofuran hydrodeoxygenation over the Ni2P-O/MCM-41 catalyst. The reaction rate constants ( k1– k5) at different temperatures were determined according to this model. At 533 K, the conversion of 2-ethylphenol in to ethylbenzene began to increase dramatically, and the yield of O-free product, ethylcyclohexane, started to increase rapidly. At 573 K, 3.0 MPa, and a H2/liquid ratio of 500 (V/V), the conversion of benzofuran over Ni2P-O/MCM-41 reached 93%, and the combined yield of O-free products was 91%. Contact time analysis indicated that demethylation was not favored over the Ni2P-O/MCM-41 catalyst.
