This study utilises a UV/TiO2 system to decolorise C.I. Reactive Black 5 (RB5). The effects of TiO2 dosage, pH, RB5 concentration and light power on the decolorisation efficiency using the UV/TiO2 system were determined. IO4− was employed as an oxidant to increase the photodegradation efficiency of UV/TiO2. The decolorisation rate constants (k) of RB5 in the UV/TiO2 system are consistent with pseudo-first-order kinetics. The k values of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 g/l TiO2 were 0.53, 0.52, 0.69 and 0.68 h−1, respectively. The rate constant increases with decreasing pH from 10 to 4. The decolorisation rate approximates linear relationship with RB5 concentration, as given by k=1.05[1/RB5]0.98; it varies nonlinearly with light power, as given by k=0.178[power]0.63. The experimental results reveal that the rate of decolorisation obtained using UV/TiO2/IO4− exceeds that obtained using UV/TiO2.

This study applies photo-Fenton and photo-Fenton-like systems to decolorize C.I. Reactive Red 2 (RR2). The oxidants were H2O2 and Na2S2O8; Fe2+, Fe3+, and Co2+ were used to activate these two oxidants. The effects of oxidant concentration (0.3–2 mmol/L) and temperature (25–55 °C) on decolorization efficiency of the photo-Fenton and photo-Fenton-like systems were determined. The decolorization rate constants (k) of RR2 in the tested systems are consistent with pseudo-first-order kinetics. The rate constant increased as oxidant concentration and temperature increased. Activation energies of RR2 decolorization in the UV/H2O2/Fe2+, UV/H2O2/Fe3+, UV/Na2S2O8/Fe2+ and UV/Na2S2O8/Fe3+ systems were 32.20, 39.54, 35.54, and 51.75 kJ/mol, respectively.

Abstract Degradation of naproxen (NAP) by persulfate (PS) activated with zero-valent iron (ZVI) was investigated in our study. The NAP in aqueous solution was degraded effectively by the ZVI/PS system and the degradation exhibited a pseudo-first-order kinetics pattern. Both sulfate radical (SO4•−) and hydroxyl radical (HO•) participate in the NAP degradation. The second-order rate constants for NAP reacting with SO4•− and HO• were (5.64 ± 0.73) × 109 M−1 s−1 and (9.05 ± 0.51) × 109 M−1 s−1, respectively. Influence of key parameters (initial pH, PS dosage, ZVI dosage, and NAP dosage) on NAP degradation were evaluated systematically. Based on the detected intermediates, the pathways of NAP degradation in ZVI/PS system was proposed. It was found that the presence of ammonia accelerated the corrosion of ZVI and thus promoted the release of Fe2+, which induced the increased generation of sulfate radicals from PS and promoted the degradation of NAP. Compared to its counterpart without ammonia, the degradation rates of NAP by ZVI/PS were increased to 3.6–17.5 folds and 1.2–2.2 folds under pH 7 and pH 9, respectively.

Abstract The Jaffé reaction for creatinine assay appears to follow pseudo-first-order kinetics; first-order rate constants are different for different samples. Rate constants for 10 different serum samples varied from a low value of 0.0040 +/- 0.0003 s-1 to 0.0084 +/- 0.0008 s-1. We describe an approach for determining first-order rate constants from kinetic data and discuss the effects of the above observations on the mathematical formulations required for reliable kinetic determinations of creatinine.

Removal Efficiencies

The removal efficiencies of sulfamerazine (SMR) and sulfamethoxypyridazine (SMP) in aqueous solutions were studied using advanced oxidation technologies. The results show similar removal kinetics for two sulfa pharmaceuticals and that complete removal of all is achieved within 90 min of ozonation at the concentration of O3 (1 mgL-1) without controlling the pH. The rate constants were calculated as 0.0143 and 0.0113 min-1 for SMR and SMP, respectively. The catalysts exhibited a superior removal efficiency of SMP to those of SMR with a TiO2 concentration of 2.0 gL-1. The disappearance of these two sulfa pharmaceuticals follows a pseudo-first-order kinetics according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) model. The rate constants were calculated as 5 × 10-3 and 6 × 10-4 min-1 for SMR and SMP, respectively. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), such as O3 and UV/TiO2 processes should be an effective treatment for removing these sulfa pharmaceuticals.

<p>The effect of different operational parameters in UV/TiO2 process, such as initial dye concentration (20-50 mg l-1), light intensity (8-45 W m-2), pH (2.83-10.22), hydrogen peroxide concentration (100-500 mg l-1), temperature (21-45 ˚C) and photocatalyst concentration (150-900 mg l-1) were investigated on the decolorization of Acid Yellow 23 as a model compound from monoazo textile dyes. The apparent first-order rate constants (kap) were evaluated which confirms pseudo first-order kinetics. kap increased with the enhancement of pH, light intensity and temperature. A desired concentration found for hydrogen peroxide (400 mg l-1) and photocatalyst concentration (750 mg l-1). The SnO2 photocatalyst was not as effective as TiO2 but had the same desired concentration (750 mg l-1). Then TiO2+SnO2 suspensions (375+375 mg l-1) as photocatalysts were employed for decolorization at different solution thicknesses. The results showed that the coupled particles were not much different from single TiO2 system at the solution thickness of 4.5 cm in a batch reactor. But the coupled system was more effective when the solution thickness was reduced to 2.5 cm. Over 90% of decolorization occurs at the solution thickness of 1.1 cm after 30 min of irradiation while 90% decolorization takes place at the solution thickness of 4.5 cm after 100 min of irradiation.</p>

Background: Prodrugs principle is widely used to improve the pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties of some active drugs. Much effort was made to develop metronidazole prodrugs to enhance antibacterial activity and or to improve pharmacokinetic properties of the molecule or to lower the adverse effects of metronidazole. Objective: In this work, the pharmacokinetic properties of some of monoterpenes and eugenol pro metronidazole molecules that were developed earlier were evaluated in-vitro. The kinetic hydrolysis rate constants and half-life time estimation of the new metronidazole derivatives were calculated using the validated RP-HPLC method. Method: Chromatographic analysis was done using Zorbbax Eclipse eXtra Dense Bonding (XDB)-C18 column of dimensions (250 mm, 4.6 mm, 5 μm), at ambient column temperature. The mobile phase was a mixture of sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer of pH 4.5 and methanol in gradient elution, at 1ml/min flow rate. The method was fully validated according to the International Council for Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. The hydrolysis process carried out in an acidic buffer pH 1.2 and in an alkaline buffer pH 7.4 in a thermostatic bath at 37ºC. Results: The results followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. All metronidazole prodrugs were stable in the acidic pH, while they were hydrolysed in the alkaline buffer within a few hours (6-8 hr). The rate constant and half-life values were calculated, and their values were found to be 0.082- 0.117 hr-1 and 5.9- 8.5 hr., respectively. Conclusion: The developed method was accurate, sensitive, and selective for the prodrugs. For most of the prodrugs, the hydrolysis followed pseudo-first-order kinetics; the method might be utilised to conduct an in-vivo study for the metronidazole derivatives with monoterpenes and eugenol.

Abstract We describe a simple, highly reproducible kinetic technique for precisely measuring temperature in spectrophotometric systems having reaction cells that are inaccessible to conventional temperature probes. The method is based on the temperature dependence of pseudo-first-order rate constants for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-o-tolyl-D-glucosylamine. Temperatures of reaction cuvette contents are measured with a precision of +/- 0.05 degrees C (1 SD).

Background: Thiomersal (TM), a complex between 2-mercaptobenzoic acid (2-MBA) and ethylmercury (C2H5Hg+), is an antimicrobial preservative used in immunological, ophthalmic, cosmetic products, and vaccines. Objective: TM has been treated by UV/TiO2 photocatalysis in the presence or absence of oxygen at acidic pH. C2H5Hg+, 2-MBA, and 2-sulfobenzoic acid (2-SBA) were found as products. A 2-SBA photocatalytic treatment was undertaken to study sulfur evolution. Methods: Photocatalytic runs were performed using a UVA lamp (λmax = 352 nm), open to the air or under N2. A suspension of the corresponding TM or 2-SBA salt and TiO2 was prepared, and pH was adjusted. Suspensions were stirred in the dark for 30 min and then irradiated. TM, 2-MBA, 2-SBA, and C2H5Hg+ were quantified by HPLC, sulfur by TXRF, and the deposits on the photocatalyst were analyzed by chemical reactions. The mineralization degree was followed by TOC. Sulfate was determined using BaCl2 at 580 nm. Results: Photocatalytic destruction of TM and total C2H5Hg+ was complete under N2 and air, but TM degradation was much faster in air. The evolution of TM and the products followed a pseudo-first-order kinetics. Conclusion: TiO2-photocatalytic degradation is a suitable technique for the treatment of TM and its degradation products. In contrast to other organomercurial compounds, TM degradation is faster in the presence of O2, indicating that the oxidative mechanism is the preferred pathway. A significant TM mineralization (> 60%, NPOC and total S) was obtained. TM was more easily degraded than 2-SBA. Sulfate was the final product.
