Thermogravimetric experiments on prereduction of single pellet and multiple pellets were conducted in Muffle furnace at 1500oC. Reduction smelting of Chromite in Fe-C melt in TG setup indicates CR is reduced faster than CG and CB. The reduction mechanism takes the path of first order reaction kinetics. Only 50% Cr metallization could be obtained at 1550oC from the reduction smelting experiments.

The reactivity of the phytochrome chromophore and related tetrapyrroles towards ozone and tetranitromethane was investigated. Both oxidizing reagents cause bleaching of the main absorp­tion band of the pigment. The rate constants for this bleaching were determined under conditions of pseudo first order reaction kinetics. The rate constants for the reaction with ozone are similar for native phytochrome and for freely accessible tetrapyrroles (biliverdin, small chromopeptides from phytochrome) indicating that accessibility is not the limiting factor for the reaction with ozone. Under a variety of conditions, the Pfr chromophore reacts by about 10% faster than the Pr chromophore. This may reflect the true difference in reactivity. The rate constants for the reaction with tetranitromethane are much larger for biliverdin, bilirubin and small chromopeptides from phytochrome than for native phytochrome. The limiting factor for this reaction in native phytochrome therefore is the accessibility of the chromophore by the reagent. Previous conclusions on the difference in exposure of the tetrapyrrole chromophore in Pr and Pfr are confirmed.

Photolytic and photocatalytic interactions of hypochlorite ion and humic acid are investigated under various conditions. Humic acid oxidation by aqueous chlorine under dark conditions are expressed in terms of first order reaction kinetics. Upon irradiation (300 nm < λ < 400 nm), photolysis of aqueous chlorine affect the removal efficiency of humic acid via oxidation. TiO2 sensitised photocatalytic oxidation conditions reveal an increase in the TOC removal rate of humic acid in the presence of aqueous chlorine. Under the specified conditions, increasing the photocatalyst loading up to 1.0 mg/mL markedly increase the TOC removal rate.

Torrefaction is a thermal treatment without air or oxygen in the temperature range of 473-573 K. The pyrolysis kinetics of three chemical components (cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin) and wood at low temperatures of relevance to torrefaction conditions have been reviewed. A series of thermogravimetric (TG) experiments have been carried out to study the intrinsic torrefaction kinetics of major chemical components and British Columbia (BC) softwoods. The weight loss during BC softwood torrefaction was found to be mainly associated with the decomposition of hemicelluloses, although there was also certain degree of decomposition of cellulose and lignin. The weight loss of the BC softwoods during torrefaction could be approximately estimated from the chemical composition of wood species and the weight loss data for torrefaction of pure cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, respectively. Based on the fitting of the TG curves of BC softwoods and three chemical components, two different torrefaciton models were proposed. The simple one-step (single-stage) kinetic model with the first order reaction can predict the reaction data reasonably well over the long residence time, with the final sample weight being strongly related to the torrefaction temperature. A two-component and one-step first order reaction kinetic model, on the other hand, gave improved agreement with data over short residence time, and can be used to guide the design and optimization of torrefaction reactors over the weight loss range of 0 to 40% at the temperature range of 533-573 K, which covers the typical range of industrially relevant operations.

A new photochromic diarylethene compound 1-(2-cyan-3-phenyl)-2-[5-(4-cyanobenzene) -2-methyl-3-thienyl] perfluorocyclopentene was synthesized. And their properties inculding photochromis, fluorescence in both hexane and solid films, reaction kinetics of cyclization and cycloreversion were studied. And its absorption maxima were observed at 539 nm in hexane and at 552 nm in PMMA films, respectively, upon irradiation with 313 nm UV light. The fluorescence intensity of diarylethene decreased upon irradiation with 313 nm UV light. Besides, the cyclization and cycloreversion processes of the compound were determined to be the zeroth and first order reaction by UV-Vis spectra, respectively.

Most of the organic compounds in primary effluent are polymers such as proteins and polysaccharides. However the bacteria present in activated sludge (AS) can only directly take up monomers such as amino acids and glucose which are produced from polymers by hydrolysis. Therefore, it is assumed that the hydrolysis of polymers to monomers by the bacteria is the rate-determining step in polymer removal. In this study, AS was acclimated to dextrin or peptone, and polymers (dextrin or peptone) and monomers (glucose or a mixture of free amino acids) were used as substrates for kinetic tests. The removal of monomers and polymers by the AS followed zero- and pseudo first-order reaction kinetics, respectively. The removal rate of monomers was higher than that of polymers, and the oxygen uptake rate of the AS during monomer removal was higher than that during polymer removal. One of the important differences between the polymers and monomers used in this study is whether glycosidic linkages or peptide bonds exist in the material. It was therefore verified that the hydrolysis of polymers to monomers by AS was the rate-determining step in polymer removal. The removal of polymers apparently followed first-order reaction kinetics at high F/M ratios, but nth-order reaction kinetics at low F/M ratios (n>1), which are commonly used in municipal sewage treatment.

An unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene 1-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(3-N,N-dimethylphenyl)-3-thienyperfluorocyclopentene (1a) was synthesized and its photochromism, fluorescent properties and reaction kinetics of cyclization and cycloreversion were studied in detail.

The fluorescence intensity of diarylethene decreased upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light. In addiation, reaction kinetics of the cyclization and cycloreversion processes of the compound were determined to be the zeroth and first order reaction by UV-Vis spectra, respectively.
