Hydroxyapatite nanowires with a high axial ratio have been synthesized in reverse micelle solutions that consist of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), n-pentanol, cyclohexane, and the reactant solution by solvothermal methods. This paper focusses on the kinetic studies of the solvothermal reaction and the linear growth of hydroxyapatite nanowires. When the reaction was carried out at low temperatures (65°C), the experimental results showed that the reaction rate was of zero order since the whole reaction was diffusion controlled with constant diffusion coefficients. In the middle to high temperature range (130–200°C), the kinetics were characterized by second order reaction kinetics. Since the controlling factor was activation energy and the apparent activation energy was large, the reaction rate was more sensitive to the temperature. Therefore, the exponent of the reaction rate constant increased by two when the temperature was increased from 130 to 200°C. By calculating the yields of products and the specific surface areas at different times, the linear and overall growth rate equations of the hydroxyapatite nanowires could be obtained. The experimental effective growth order of the crystals was 11. The larger growth order indicated that the crystal could grow more effectively in one direction because of the induction of the surfactant in the experiment system.

An active dye, Methyl Orange (MO) was employed as the target pollutant to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of TiO2/schorl composite and the kinetics and thermodynamics of this process was emphasized in this work. Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetic model was employed for the kinetic studies and the results revealed that the process of MO photocatalytic discoloration by TiO2/schorl composite followed one order reaction kinetic equation under different conditions. The reaction rate constant (k) increased with initial MO concentration decreasing. When the catalyst dosage or solution pH increased,kvalues increased and then decreased. The possible reasons for these phenomena were discussed. Finally, the thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH, ΔSwere obtained by the classical Van't Hoff equation.

The most common cause of diseases in swimming pools is the lack of sanitary control of water quality; water may contain microbiological and chemical contaminants. Among the people most at risk of infection are children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised people. The origin of the problem is a need to develop a system that can predict the formation of chlorine water disinfection by-products, such as trihalomethanes (THMs). THMs are volatile organic compounds from the group of alkyl halides, carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and bioaccumulating. Long-term exposure, even to low concentrations of THM in water and air, may result in damage to the liver, kidneys, thyroid gland, or nervous system. This article focuses on analysis of the kinetics of swimming pool water reaction in analytical device reproducing its circulation on a small scale. The designed and constructed analytical device is based on the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC driver of SIEMENS Company. The HMI KPT panel of SIEMENS Company enables monitoring the process and control individual elements of device. Value of the reaction rate constant of free chlorine decomposition gives us qualitative information about water quality, it is also strictly connected to the kinetics of the reaction. Based on the experiment results, the value of reaction rate constant was determined as a linear change of the natural logarithm of free chlorine concentration over time. The experimental value of activation energy based on the directional coefficient is equal to 76.0 [kJ×mol−1]. These results indicate that changing water temperature does not cause any changes in the reaction rate, while it still affects the value of the reaction rate constant. Using the analytical device, it is possible to constantly monitor the values of reaction rate constant and activation energy, which can be used to develop a new way to assess pool water quality.

ABSTRACTHydrogen desorption reactions of the mixtures of (i) lithium amide and lithium hydride (LiNH2/LiH), and (ii) magnesium amide and lithium hydride (Mg(NH2)2/4LiH) were studied. Titanium compounds and nano-particles including fullerene (C60), were doped to those hydrogen storage mixtures respectively. The hydrogen desorption reactions were monitored by means of temperature programmed desorption (TPD) technique under an Ar atmosphere. The reaction of LiNH2/LiH was accelerated by adding either 1 mol% of Ti species or 0.2 mol% of fullerene (C60), while those additives did not show significant acceleration effects on the reaction of Mg(NH2)2/4LiH. Kinetic studies revealed the enhanced hydrogen desorption reaction rate constant for TiCl3 doped LiNH2/LiH, k = 3.1 × 10−4 s−1 at 493 K, and the prolonged ball-milling further improved reaction rate, k = 1.1 × 10−3 s−1 at the same temperature. For the dehydrogenation reaction of TiCl3 doped LiNH2/LiH, the activation energies estimated by Kissinger plot (95 kJ mol−1) and Arrhenius plot (110 kJ mol−1) were in reasonable agreement each other. The LiNH2/LiH mixture without additive exhibited slower hydrogen desorption process and the kinetic traces deviated from single exponential behavior. The results indicated the Ti(III) additives change the hydrogen desorption reaction mechanism of LiNH2/LiH.

Equations are derived to describe the rate at which gas passes into a bed of adsorbent under conditions of constant volume and diminishing pressure. Of the processes which may be responsible for the observed rate of gas uptake, the following three are considered : (i) Knudsen flow within the bed, or within the granules of which it is composed, with simultaneous adsorption that is too fast to be a limiting factor ; (ii) chemisorption which is controlled by the rate of Knudsen flow ; (iii) unrestricted chemisorption.It is shown how the rate constants used in the equations are related to the overall reaction rate constant in a catalyst pore.


The increased demand for advanced techniques in anaerobic digestion over the last few years has led to the employment of various pre-treatment methods prior to anaerobic digestion to increase gas production. These pre-treatment methods alter the physical and chemical properties of sludge in order to make it more readily degradable by anaerobic digestion. Although the thermal pre-treatment presents high energy consumption, the main part of this energy to heat can be recovered from the biogas produced in the anaerobic process. In this research a mixture of primary and waste activated sludge was thermally pretreated at 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 oC in order to determine the reaction kinetics for the increase of soluble organic fraction (expressed as CODs and VFAs). Experimental results proved that the solubilization of sludge is a 1st order reaction with respect to both CODs and VFAs, KCODs (reaction rate constant of CODs solubilization) increased from 4.59*10-3 (min-1) to 7.55*10-3 (min-1) as the temperature increased from 100 to 200 oC, with a reaction activation energy of 7447.21 (J/mole) and frequency factor of 0.051 (min-1), While KVFAs (reaction rate constant of VFAs solubilization) increased from 5.33*10-3 (min-1) to 7.97*10-3 (min-1) for the same increase in temperature, with a reaction activation energy of 5947.22 (J/mole) and frequency factor of 0.0364 (min-1).

In this work, for the first time, a water-soluble natural biopolymer of chitosan ascorbate based on Bombyx mori chitosan and ascorbic acid was obtained and kinetic features of the process were determined. Samples of chitosan ascorbate were synthesized, the interaction of chitosan with ascorbic acid was studied by analytical titration. The synthesis was carried out in order to determine the activation energy of formation of the reaction of chitosan ascorbate, in the ratio of chitosan and ascorbic acid (4:1) components for 15 minutes with a reaction temperature ranging from 25°C to 65°C. The results of the kinetic studies show that in the interaction under the study the reaction order on ascorbic acid concentration exceeds the reaction order on chitosan concentration, while the reaction activation energy was determined, which equals to 13.38 kJ/mol. This result allows us to conclude that during the formation of chitosan ascorbate at 55 °C the highest equilibrium constant is established, and a further increase in temperature leads to a decrease in the yield and equilibrium constant. The results obtained indicate that with an increase in the concentration of ascorbic acid compared to the one of chitosan, the reaction rate increased almost twice. It was found that with an increase in the reaction time, the average rate of synthesis gradually decreases. This is due to the fact that with an increase in the duration of the reaction in the solution the concentration of unbound (free) ascorbic acid decreases, and as a result, the reaction rate decreases as well.

AbstractWet and dry oxidations of polycrystalline SixGe1-x, with various compositions have been studied at different temperatures. The growth rate of SiO2 is found to be enhanced by Ge, and the enhancement effect is more pronounced in H2O than in O2. A mathematical model, which assumes simultaneous oxidation of Si and Ge and reduction of GeO2 by free Si available at the growing-oxide/SixGe1-x interface, is found to give a quantitative description of the SiO2 growth during thermal oxidation of SixGe1-x. Kinetic parameters are extracted by comparing the model with experiments. The linear and parabolic rate constants for Si oxidation are determined on control Si (100) wafers and polycrystalline Si films. Simple expressions are used for the interdiffusion of Si and Ge in SixGe1-x. For wet oxidation, the activation energy for the reaction rate constant of Ge oxidation is found to be smaller than that of Si oxidation.

In order to study the kinetics and mechanism of the reaction, laboratory leaching was carried out with industrially produced gibbsite ?-Al(OH)3 in aqueous solutions containing an excess of sodium hydroxide. The results obtained reaction temperature, duration and base concentration varied. The basic kinetic parameters were determined from: the reaction rate constant k=8.72?107 exp (-74990/RT) and the process activation energy in the range Ea=72.5-96.81 kJ/mol.

ABSTRACTAn improved model of {311} defect evolution is developed based on the rate equations approach. A new expression for the reaction rate constant is presented that is based on the assumption that interstitials may react with the {311} defects along their whole surface. The energetics of {311} defects is treated by calculating the strain energy within the framework of the theory of dislocations in isotropic continua. Using the core energy of the atoms in the defects as the only fit parameter, we explain a wide range of experimental data. Furthermore, we apply the model to investigate closure assumptions used in moments models and propose a new two-moments model that uses the rate equations solver as a pre-processor.
