Abstract In previous publications on thiuram vulcanization we confined ourselves to the presentation and discussion of our extensive experimental work. We had investigated quantitatively the conversion of thiuram disulfides and were in a position to describe the kinetics of thiuram vulcanization. Such investigations are, of course, of particular value to technology for information about the rate and temperature dependence of vulcanization reactions. Our experiments were therefore not primarily designed to determine the details of reaction mechanism, which we had hitherto treated with restraint, and experience shows that the study of reaction kinetics does not always provide the key to a complete solution. All the same, it now seems reasonable to pick out some of the results we have obtained, and so consider the question of a reaction mechanism for thiuram vulcanization. We should, however, like to state, that although the present treatment concerns matters which may include some pertinent points, it does not necessarily represent a final interpretation. It is to be stressed, that any postulated reaction mechanism must explain what we regard as a stoichiometrical, i.e., concentration and temperature independent conversion of thiuram disulfide to zinc dithiocarbamate. The following experimental results thus formed the basis of our considerations:

<p><i>Operando</i> spectroelectrochemical analysis is used to determine the water oxidation reaction kinetics for hematite photoanodes prepared using four different synthetic procedures. Whilst these photoanodes exhibit very different current / voltage performance, their underlying water oxidation kinetics are found to be almost invariant. Lower photoanode performance was found to correlate with the observation of optical signals indicative of charge accumulation in mid-gap oxygen vacancy states, indicating these states do not contribute directly to water oxidation.</p>

The course of the conversion of methanol with water vapour was followed on a low-temperature Cu-Zn-Cr-Al catalyst at pressures of 0.2 and 0.6 MPa. The kinetic data were evaluated together with those obtained at 0.1 MPa and the following equation for the reaction kinetics at the given conditions was derived: r = [p(CH3OH)p(H2O)]0.5[p(H2)]-1.3.
