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.

Aqueous solutions of lincomycin were irradiated with UV light in homogeneous and heterogeneous systems. Lincomycin disappeared in both systems but the presence ofTiO2noticeably accelerated the degradation of the antibiotic in comparison with direct photolysis. The rate of decomposition was dependent on the concentration of lincomycin and followed a pseudo-first-order kinetics. Photolysis involved only the oxidation of lincomycin without mineralization. Differently, the treatment withTiO2and UV light resulted in a complete mineralization of the antibiotic. The degradation pathways involved S- and N-demethylation and propyldealkylation. The mineralization of the molecule led to the formation of sulfate, ammonium, and nitrate ions.

The effects of cyclodextrins (CDs) on the rate of nucleophilic attack on 1- and 2-naphthyl acetates (1-NA and 2-NA) in aqueous solution have been investigated. Analysis of the variation of the pseudo-first-order rate constants with [nucleophile] and [CD] affords rate constants for reaction of the nucleophiles with free ester (kN) and with ester bound to the CD (kcN). The reaction of 1-NA and 2-NA with the trifluoroethoxide anion is slowed down by β-CD as the ratios kcN/kN are 0.11 and 0.30, respectively. For reaction with the anion of 2-mercaptoethanol in the presence of α-CD, β-CD, "hydroxypropyl-β-CD" (hp-β-CD) and γ-CD, the reactivity ratios kcN/kN vary between 0.04 and 2.4, ranging from strong retardation to modest catalysis; the retardations arise with β-CD and hp-β-CD, which bind the esters strongly. By contrast, the attack of primary alkylamines is generally accelerated, and in many cases substantially so. For the aminolysis of 1-NA in the presence of β-CD, values of kcN/kN range from 7 to 460, assuming that free amine reacts with CD-bound ester. Alternatively, if the CD-catalyzed reaction involves free ester reacting with CD-bound amine, with rate constant kNc, the ratios kNc/kN vary from 43 to 140. Either way, there is appreciable catalysis of the aminolysis of 1-NA by β-CD. For the aminolysis of 2-NA, the effects are less dramatic: the ratios kcN/kN range from 0.19 to 17, and values of kNc/kN vary from 17 to 110. The reaction of 1-NA with n-hexylamine is also catalyzed by γ-CD. The variations of kinetic parameters with alkylamine chain length suggest that the CD-catalyzed aminolysis basically takes place by the attack of CD-bound amine on the free ester. However, there must be some stabilizing interactions between the aryl group of the ester and the CD during the reaction, since the transition state stabilization is different for 1-NA and 2-NA, as well for other esters.Key words: aminolysis, catalysis, cyclodextrin, ester cleavage, kinetics.

Reactive Red 2

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.

Refractory Organic Pollutants

Tetracyclines (TCs) are widely used antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine and as growth promoters in the world. Sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes have been of great interest due to the high oxidizing potential of sulfate radical to degrade refractory organic pollutants in aqueous solution. In this study, the degradation of antibiotic TC in aqueous solution by silver-activated persulfate (Na2S2O8) in the presence of ultrasound irradiation under various conditions has been investigated. The effects of several parameters such as Ag2SO4, Na2S2O8 concentration, temperature, ultrasonic (US) power, initial TC concentration and initial pH on the degradation of TC were investigated. More than 83% of TC removal was achieved within 120 min under optimal conditions. The optimum operational conditions were found to be as follows: Ag2SO4 dosage 3.5 mmol/L, Na2S2O8 concentration 70 mmol/L, reaction temperature 25 °C, US power 120 W, initial TC concentration 50 mg/L, pH 3.0 and contact time 120 min. The degradation of TC in the persulfate/Ag+/US process followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics.

This paper investigated the effects of selected common chemical species in natural waters (HCO3−, NO3− and humic acids (HA)) on the photodegradation of amoxicillin (AMO) under simulated irradiation using a 300 W xenon lamp. Quenching experiments were carried out to explore the mechanisms of AMO photodegradation. The results indicated that AMO photodegradation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. Increasing AMO concentration from 100 to 1,000 μg L−1 led to the decrease in the photodegradation rate constant from 0.2411 to 0.1912 min−1. The presence of NO3− and HA obviously inhibited the photodegradation rate of AMO because they can compete for photons with AMO. Bicarbonate, as a hydroxyl radical (·OH) scavenger, also adversely affected AMO photodegradation. Quenching experiments in pure water suggested that AMO could undergo self-sensitized photooxidation via ·OH and singlet oxygen (1O2), accounting for AMO removal of 34.86 and 8.26%, respectively. In HA solutions, the indirect photodegradation of AMO was mostly attributed to the produced ·OH (22.37%), 1O2 (24.12%) and 3HA* (20.80%), whereas the contribution of direct photodegradation was to some extent decreased.

Solid super acid (S2O82-/FexOy-CuOx) was prepared and used as a heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst to decompose H2O2for the degradation of refractory dye Orange IV in water. The factors that affected the degradation of Orange IV were discussed in this heterogeneous Fenton-like system. The catalytic activity of S2O82-/FexOy-CuOxwas evaluated by the degradation of Orange IV and the decomposition of H2O2. The results show that the catalyst S2O82-/FexOy-CuOxhas a good catalytic activity. The reaction follows pseudo-first-order kinetics; the reaction rate constant has a good relationship with the concentration of H2O2. The degradation rate of Orange IV and the decomposition rate of H2O2increase with the increase of temperature and the dosage of catalyst whereas it decreases with the increase of the initial concentration of Orange IV and the initial pH.

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.

Pseudo-first-order rate constants for the decarboxylation of pyrimidine-2-carboxylic acid have been determined at 65 °C in aqueous solution over the acidity range pH = 2 to H0 = −9.5. Rate constants increase rapidly from pH = 2 to H0 = −3, then remain constant. This behaviour can be accounted for by a Hammick-type mechanism in which monoprotonated pyrimidine-2-carboxylic acid loses carbon dioxide to form an ylide (stabilized by the adjacent positively charged nitrogens) which rapidly converts to pyrimidine.

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.
