Gallic acid (GA) is a naturally occurring plant polyphenol compound. Experiments were conducted to study the kinetics and effects of pH, temperature, irradiation, and initial hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) concentration on Cr(VI) reduction by GA. Results indicated that Cr(VI) could be reduced to chromium oxide (Cr(III)) with GA in a wide range of pH values from 2.0 to 8.5. The reaction followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic model with respect to Cr(VI) and GA in acid conditions (pH 2.0–5.0). However, the reaction did not follow the pseudo-first-order kinetic model at pH 6.5 and 8.5. Removal efficiencies and reaction rate constants of Cr(VI) significantly increased with decreasing pH value and increasing temperature. The effect of irradiation on Cr(VI) reduction increased with increasing pH, and irradiation improved the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) by 11.29% at pH 6.5. At pH 2.0, nearly all molar ratios of GA required for the reduction of Cr(VI) were 1:2 (±0.1) under different initial Cr(VI) concentrations; however, the molar ratios of GA required for the reduction of Cr(VI) were 1:1.29, 1:1.43, and 1:1.69, respectively, when the initial Cr(VI) concentrations were 10, 25, and 50 mg/L at pH 5.5.

Chitosan/alginate polyelectrolyte complex membranes (Ch/Alg) additionally cross-linked with tripolyphosphate (TPP) and containing ascorbic acid (AA) were prepared. The dynamic swelling behaviour of Ch/Alg/TPP and ascorbic acid release from the membrane were characterised in different buffer solutions. It has been found that the pH of the buffer solution affects the swelling and release behaviour of AA. Ascorbic acid release, observed over a period of 360 min, exhibited a biphasic pattern, characterised by a fast initial burst release, followed by a slow, sustained release. Different mathematical models were used to study the kinetics and transport mechanism of AA from Ch/Alg/TPP hydrogels. Drug release data were fitted to the zero order kinetic model and first order kinetic model. To characterise the drug mechanism, the release data were fitted to the Higuchi and Korsmeyer-Peppas equations. The initial burst AA release followed zero order kinetics and was quasi-Fickian in nature. The second step of AA release followed first order kinetics.

Abstract In this study, the electro – Fenton (EF) method was applied to remove total organic carbon (TOC) from the pesticide production wastewater containing tricyclazole (TC). Statistical Taguchi method was used to optimize the treatment performance. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that the polynomial regression model fitted experimental data with R2 of 0.969. The optimal conditions for eliminating 75.4% TOC and 93.7% TC, were 0.2 mM of Fe2+, 990 mg/L of Na2SO4, 180 min of reaction time at pH 3 with 2.22 mA/cm2 of current density. The removal of TC present in the wastewater followed the first-order reaction kinetic model (R2 = 0.993); while that was the second-order kinetic model in the case of the TOC removal (R2 = 0.903). In addition, the experimental results and theory approaches (density functional theory and natural bond orbital calculations) also showed that the C-N bond breaking and nitrate ions cleavage ammonia. Acute toxicity of the pesticide wastewater after treatment (PWAT) on microcrustacean showed that the treated wastewater still exhibited high toxicity against D. magna, with LC50 values of 3.84%, 2.68%, 2.05%, and 1.78% at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and 96 h, respectively.

Hydrotalcite-like compounds containing Mg2+, Al3+ and Fe3+ with a constant M2+/M3+ ratio but varying Al3+/Fe3+ ratios have been prepared. The effects of iron contents on the structural and sorption of Pb2+ by Mg-Al-Fe HTlc samples were investigated. The maximum sorption amounts were about 88-201 mg/g for Mg-Al-Fe HTlc samples. The sorption isotherm and kinetic processes can be described with Freundlich isotherm and pseudo first order kinetic model, respectively. The sorption amounts and rate increase with the increase of iron contents in HTlc samples. The sorption mechanism of Pb2+ on Mg-Al-Fe HTlcs may be the surface-induced precipitation and chemical binding adsorption.

Degradation of trifluralin in four soils, each represented at four sites, under field conditions was determined quantitatively and described mathematically. A biexponential equation that resulted from integration of first-order and second-order differential rate equations described degradation data better than the first-order kinetic model for 15 of 25 soil-site combinations. Biexponential model regression coefficients indicated extent of degradation and that degradation is rapid at initially high trifluralin concentrations but slows as concentration decreases. The first-order kinetic model initially underestimated but ultimately overestimated degradation of trifluralin, thereby inferring that a first-order half-life is inadequate for predicting trifluralin persistence.
