Water reduces the activation barrier of the rate-limiting step of phenol alkylation with propylene in H-BEA. This, in turn, increases the transition-state theory rate coefficient by two orders-of-magnitude, suggesting much faster alkylation.

Corn wet mill effluents are studied in terms of their characteristics relevant for biological treatment. They have a high COD of mainly soluble and biodegradable nature, with practically no soluble inert components. They generate a relatively high level of soluble residual metabolic products, which affects the choice of the appropriate biological treatment and favors aerobic activated sludge process. Experimental assessment of process kinetics yields typical values. Hydrolysis of the slowly biodegradable COD, the rate limiting step for the utilization of substrate, is characterized by an overall rate coefficient, which is within the range commonly associated for the hydrolysis of starch.

The standard formula for the rate coefficient given by transition state theory is not valid for exothermic ion-molecule reactions having no activation energy. A formula covering these is derived. For monatomic reactants Langevin’s formula is recovered. In the general case, account must be taken of the long-lived collision complex which arises because of the transfer of orbital energy into the rotational and vibrational modes of the reactants. The theory is applied to bimolecular reactions (most of which it gives to be rapid whether or not an electronic transition is involved), to termolecular association and to radiative association. The major conflict with experiment concerns N 2 + N 2 + + He---- >N 4 + + He which Bohme, Dunkin, Fehsenfeld & Ferguson (1968) have studied at a temperature of 80 K. According to their measurements, the apparent binary rate coefficient is a linear function of the helium pressure, if this is low, but above about a torr it reaches a saturation limit of only around one hundredth of the Langevin rate coefficient, the transition from the linear to the saturation region being quite sharp. Only the initial slope is in agreement with expectation.

SummaryOrnithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of polyamines, can be demonstrated in cultured, bovine, aortic endothelial cells (EC). Serum, serotonin and thrombin produce a rise in ODC activity. The serotonin-induced ODC activity is significantly blocked by imipramine (10-5 M) or Lilly 11 0140 (10-6M). Preincubation of EC with these blockers together almost completely depresses the 5-HT-stimulated ODC activity. These observations suggest a manner by which platelets may maintain EC structural and metabolic soundness.
