There are two strains of bacteria viz. Thiobacillus thiooxidansand Thiobacillus ferrooxidanswidely mentioned to play an important role in the leaching process of low-grade ores. Another strain used in this study is a thermophile and is designated Caldariella .These microorganisms are acidophilic chemosynthetic aerobic autotrophs and are capable of oxidizing many metal sulfides and elemental sulfur to sulfates and Fe2+ to Fe3+. The necessity of physical contact or attachment by bacteria to mineral surfaces during oxidation reaction has not been fairly established so far. Temple and Koehler reported that during oxidation of marcasite T. thiooxidanswere found concentrated on mineral surface. Schaeffer, et al. demonstrated that physical contact or attachment is essential for oxidation of sulfur.

Over time, performance of tubular backpulse pressure filters in kraft mills deteriorates, even with regular acid washing. Unscheduled filter replacement due to filter plugging results in significant costs and may result in mill downtime. We identified acid-insoluble filter-plugging materials by scanning electron microscope/energy-dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis in both polypropylene and Gore-Tex™ membrane filter socks. The major filter-plugging components were calcium sulfate (gypsum), calcium phosphate (hydroxylapatite), aluminosilicate clays, metal sulfides, and carbon. We carried out detailed sample analysis of both the standard acid-washing procedure and a modified procedure. Filter plugging by gypsum and metal sulfides appeared to occur because of the acid-washing procedure. Gypsum formation on the filter resulted from significant hydrolysis of sulfamic acid solution at temperatures greater than 130°F. Modification of the acid-washing procedure greatly reduced the amount of gypsum and addition of a surfactant to the acid reduced wash time and mobilized some of the carbon from the filter. With surfactant, acid washing was 95% complete after 40 min.

Reaction Profile

Carbon-Fluorine (C-F) bonds are considered the most inert organic functionality and their selective transformation under mild conditions remains challenging. Herein, we report a highly active Pt-Pd nanoalloy as a robust catalyst for the transformation of C-F bonds into C-H bonds at low temperature, a reaction that often required harsh conditions. The alloying of Pt with Pd is crucial to activate C-F bond. The reaction profile kinetics revealed that the major source of hydrogen in the defluorinated product is the alcoholic proton of 2-propanol, and the rate-determining step is the reduction of the metal upon transfer of the <i>beta</i>-H from 2-propanol. DFT calculations elucidated that the key step is the selective oxidative addition of the O-H bond of 2-propanol to a Pd center prior to C-F bond activation at a Pt site, which crucially reduces the activation energy of the C-F bond. Therefore, both Pt and Pd work independently but synergistically to promote the overall reaction

We report detailed mechanistic investigations of an iron-based catalyst system, which allows the α-C-H oxidation of a wide variety of amines, including acyclic tertiary aliphatic amines, to afford dealkylated or amide products. In contrast to other catalysts that affect α-C-H oxidations of tertiary amines, the system under investigation employs exclusively peroxy esters as oxidants. More common oxidants (e.g. tBuOOH) previously reported to affect amine oxidations via free radical pathways do not provide amine α-C-H oxidation products in combination with the herein described catalyst system. Motivated by this difference in reactivity to more common free radical systems, the investigations described herein employ initial rate kinetics, kinetic profiling, Eyring studies, kinetic isotope effect studies, Hammett studies, ligand coordination studies, and EPR studies to shed light on the Fe catalyst system. The obtained data suggest that the catalytic mechanism proceeds through C-H abstraction at a coordinated substrate molecule. This rate-determining step occurs either at an Fe(IV) oxo pathway or a 2-electron pathway at a Fe(II) intermediate with bound oxidant. We further show via kinetic profiling and EPR studies that catalyst activation follows a radical pathway, which is initiated by hydrolysis of PhCO3 tBu to tBuOOH in the reaction mixture. Overall, the obtained mechanistic data support a non-classical, Fe catalyzed pathway that requires substrate binding, thus inducing selectivity for α-C-H functionalization.<br>

Aim & Scope: The synthesis of highly substituted piperidine from the one-pot reaction between aromatic aldehydes, anilines and β-ketoesters in the presence of tartaric acid as a catalyst has been investigated in both methanol and ethanol media at ambient temperature. Different conditions of temperature and solvent were employed for calculating the thermodynamic parameters and obtaining an experimental approach to the kinetics and mechanism. Experiments were carried out under different temperature and solvent conditions. Material and Methods: Products were characterized by comparison of physical data with authentic samples and spectroscopic data (IR and NMR). Rate constants are presented as an average of several kinetic runs (at least 6-10) and are reproducible within ± 3%. The overall rate of reaction is followed by monitoring the absorbance changes of the products versus time on a Varian (Model Cary Bio- 300) UV-vis spectrophotometer with a 10 mm light-path cell. Results: The best result was achieved in the presence of 0.075 g (0.1 M) of catalyst and 5 mL methanol at ambient temperature. When the reaction was carried out under solvent-free conditions, the product was obtained in a moderate yield (25%). Methanol was optimized as a desirable solvent in the synthesis of piperidine, nevertheless, ethanol in a kinetic investigation had none effect on the enhancement of the reaction rate than methanol. Based on the spectral data, the overall order of the reaction followed the second order kinetics. The results showed that the first step of the reaction mechanism is a rate determining step. Conclusion: The use of tartaric acid has many advantages such as mild reaction conditions, simple and readily available precursors and inexpensive catalyst. The proposed mechanism was confirmed by experimental results and a steady state approximation.

Dihydropyridine Derivatives

Aims and Objective: The main objective of the kinetic investigation of the reaction among ethyl acetoacetate 1, ammoniumacetat 2, dimedone 3 and diverse substitutions of benzaldehyde 4-X, (X= H, NO2, CN, CF3, Cl, CH (CH3)2, CH3, OCH3, OCH3, and OH) for the generation of 4-substituted 1, 4-dihydropyridine derivatives (product 5) was the recognition of the most realistic reaction mechanism. The layout of the reaction mechanism studied kinetically by means of the UV-visible spectrophotometry approach. Materials and Methods: Among the various mechanisms, only mechanism1 (path1) involving 12 steps was recognized as a dominant mechanism (path1). Herein, the reaction between reactants 1 and 2 (kobs= 814.04 M-1 .min-1 ) and also compound 3 and 4-H (kobs= 151.18 M-1 .min-1 ) were the logical possibilities for the first and second fast steps (step1 and step2, respectively). Amongst the remaining steps, only step9 of the dominant mechanism (path1) had substituent groups (X) near the reaction centre that could be directly resonated with it. Results and Discussion: Para electron-withdrawing or donating groups on the compound 4-X increases the rate of the reaction 4 times more or decreases 8.7 times less than the benzaldehyde alone. So, this step is sensitive for monitoring any small or huge changes in the reaction rate. For this reason, step9 is the rate-determining step of the reaction mechanism (path1). Conclusion: The recent result is the agreement with the Hammett description with an excellent dual substituent factor (r = 0.990) and positive value of reaction constant (ρ = +0.9502) which confirmed both the resonance and inductive effects “altogether” contributed on the reaction centre of step9 in the dominant mechanism (path1).
