The first-order degradation kinetics of epidoxorubicin were investigated as a function of pH, temperature, and buffers concentrations. The degradation was followed by HPLC. Buffer catalysis was observed in acetate and phosphate buffers. The pH-rate profiles were obtained at 333, 343, 353, and 363 K. The pH-rate expression was kpH=k1×aH+×f1+k2×f1+k3×f2+(k4×f2+k5×f3)×aOH-, where k1, k4, and k5 are the second-order rate constants (mol−1 L s−1) for hydrogen ion activity and for hydroxyl ion activity, respectively, and k2 and k3 are the first-order constants (s−1) for spontaneous reaction under the influence of water. Epidoxorubicin demonstrates the greatest stability in the pH range 3–5. The electrostatic molecular potential orbitals HOMO-LUMO were also defined in order to determine the cause of the reactivity of particular epidoxorubicin molecule domains in solutions with various pH values.

The kinetics of oxidation of methyl orange by vanadium(V) {V(V)} has been investigated in the pH range 2.3-3.79. In this pH range V(V) exists both in the form of decavanadates and VO2+. The kinetic results are distinctly different from the results obtained for the same reaction in highly acidic solution (pH < 1) where V(V) exists only in the form of VO2+. The reaction obeys first order kinetics with respect to methyl orange but the rate has very little dependence on total vanadium concentration. The reaction is accelerated by H+ ion but the dependence of rate on [H+] is less than that corresponding to first order dependence. The equilibrium between decavanadates and VO2+ explains the different kinetic pattern observed in this pH range. The reaction is markedly accelerated by Triton X-100 micelles. The rate-[surfactant] profile shows a limiting behavior indicative of a unimolecular pathway in the micellar pseudophase.

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.

The stain of Fusarium sp. HJ01 used in 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) degradation was isolated in our laboratory. The effects of pH, temperature, 4-CP concentration, carbon source on 4-CP degradation rate were studied. It was concluded that Fusarium sp. HJ01 could grow with 4-CP as the sole carbon and energy source. 4-CP concentration of 100mg/L in the pH range of 4~10 and temperature range of 25°C~35°C could be degraded completely. The capacity of 4-CP degradation was effectively enhanced by the addiction of sucrose. The kinetics of 4-CP degradation could well accord with the Haldane model for 4-CP as the sole carbon source and with first order equation for added other sucrose.

Estudou-se a cinética de degradação da mistura dos isômeros alfa e beta Endosulfan em diferentes condições de trabalho. Os compostos foram adicionados em água ultrapura, água do rio, água de rio filtrada e água ultrapura com sais (salinidade similar à agua do rio utilizada). As condições de degradação escolhidas foram: escuridão e duas temperaturas (14+1 ºC e 26+1 ºC). As amostragens foram programadas de modo a se obter dados periódicos mais freqüentes no início da experiência e posteriormente mais espaçados até o seu final (230 dias). As amostras foram submetidas à microextração e analisadas por cromatografia em fase gasosa com detector de Ni63 e coluna Megabore DB-5. A degradação foi descrita de acordo com a cinética de primeira ordem, determinando-se os tempos de meia vida (t1/2) e as energias de ativação (Ea). Os dados obtidos evidenciaram que a temperatura é o fator preponderante, sendo possível deduzir que o alfaendosulfan, exceto para água ultrapura (AU), é mais influenciado pela temperatura do que o beta-endosulfan. O segundo efeito mais importante refere-se ao tipo de água utilizada como matriz, devido à influência da salinidade. PERSISTANCE OF ENDOSULFAN IN STATIC AQUEOUS MEDIUM Abstract Degradation kinetics of a mixture of alpha- and beta-Endosulfan isomers was studied under different conditions. The compounds were spiked in ultrapure water, river water, filtered water and ultrapure water with salts (similar salinity condition to that of the river water used). The degradation conditions chosen were: darkness, two temperatures (14+1 ºC e 26+1 ºC). Samplings were programmed in order to obtain more frequent periodical data in the beginning of the experience and after more spaced until its end (230 days). The samples were submitted to microextraction and then analyzed by gas chromatography through a Ni63 detector equipped with a Megabore DB-5 column. Degradation was described using first-order kinetics to determine half-life times (t1/2) and activation energies (Ea). The data obtained evidenced that temperature is the predominant factor, it can possibly be inferred that alfa-endosulfan is much more influenced than beta-endosulfan except for ultrapure water (UW). The second important effect is the water type used as matrix, due to the influence of salinity.

The method of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is established to determine the content of antibacterial agent — ciprofloxacin (CF) in the degradation solution of ciprofloxacin-polyurethane (CFPU) and investigate the in vitro degradation kinetics by plotting and fitting the cumulative release curves to inspect the effects of different medium and different concentrations on drug release. The results showed that the HPLC method is accurate, reliable and simple. The drug-release of CFPU was bioresponsive and could be accorded with first order kinetics. It was observed that CF was released from CFPU by a combination of diffusion and erosion mechanism, mainly in the manner of diffusion in the absence of infection while erosion mechanism in the presence of infection.

The kinetics of disproportionation and ferricyanide ion oxidation of the 10-methylacridinium cation have been measured spectrophotometrically over the pH range 9–14 in.20% CH3CN – 80% H2O (v/v) and ionic strength 1.0 at 25 °C. Disproportionation is kinetically second-order in total acridine species. The pH–rate profile is consistent with the rate-determining reaction of one acridinium cation with the pseudobase alkoxide anion derived from a second acridinium cation. Ferricyanide ion oxidation is kinetically first-order in each of ferricyanide ion and total acridine species. The pH–rate profile requires three distinct pathways for the ferricyanide ion oxidation of the 10-methylacridinium cation. For pH < 9.7, rate-determining attack of ferricyanide ion on the neutral pseudobase predominates, while for pH > 12.8 the predominant oxidation pathway involves reaction of ferricyanide ion with the pseudobase alkoxide ion. Between pH 9.7 and 12.8, the major oxidation pathway involves initial disproportionation of the acridinium cation followed by ferricyanide ion oxidation of the 9,10-dihydro-10-methylacridine product. This latter route accounts for a maximum of 69% of the total ferricyanide ion oxidation at pH 11.1.

The kinetics of the oxidative degradation of an azo dye Metanil Yellow (MY) was investigated in aqueous solution using dirhodium(II) caprolactamate, Rh2(cap)4, as a catalyst in the presence of H2O2 as oxidizing agent. The reaction process was followed by UV/Vis spectrophotometer. The decolorization and degradation kinetics were investigated and both followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic with respect to the [MY]. The effects of various parameters such as H2O2 and dye concentrations, the amount of catalyst and temperature have been studied. The studies show that Rh2(cap)4 is a very effective catalyst for the formation of hydroxyl radicals HO• which oxidized and degraded about 92% of MY into CO2 and H2O after 24 h as measured by total carbon analyzer.

The reaction was studied via pseudo-first-order kinetics using a UV-1800 Shimadzu spectrophotometer with a thermostated cell compartment and interfaced with a computer. The reaction showed first order with respect to malachite green and sugar and hydroxyl ion concentrations. However, the reaction was independent of ionic strength and showed no dependence on the salt effect, indicating an inner sphere mechanism for the reaction. There was no polymerization of the reaction mixture with acrylonitrile, indicating the absence of radicals in the course of the reaction. Michaelis-Menten plot indicated the presence of a reaction intermediate in the rate-determining step. The activation parameters of the reaction have been calculated and products were elucidated by FTIR spectroscopy. The stoichiometry of the reaction is 1:1. A mechanism consistent with the above facts has been suggested.

The degradation of dye crystal violet (CV) by Fenton oxidation process was investigated. The UV–Vis spectrogram has shown that CV can be degraded effectively by Fenton oxidation process. Different system variables namely initial H2O2 concentration, initial Fe2 +  concentration and reaction temperature, which have effect on the degradation of CV by Fenton oxidation process, have been studied systematically. The degradation kinetics of CV was also elucidated based on the experimental data. The degradation of CV obeys the first-order reaction kinetics. The kinetic model can be described as k = 1.5 exp(−(7.5)/(RT))[H2O2]00.8718[Fe2+]00.5062. According to the IR spectrogram, it is concluded that the benzene ring of crystal violet has been destroyed by Fenton oxidation. The result will be useful in treating dyeing wastewater containing CV by Fenton oxidation process.
