The kinetic studies of gold(iii) chloride complex ions recovery from acidic solution using activated carbon (AC) were carried out using spectrophotometry. AC samples were characterized in terms of surface area, porosity, and zeta potential. The surface functional groups were also identified. It was found that adsorption of AuCl4– onto AC was followed by reduction of the ions to the metallic form. The process obeyed the first order reaction model, but the reaction was controlled by diffusion. Arrhenius and Eyring–Polanyi equations were used for determination of the activation parameters. Distribution of gold across the AC pellets was also determined and discussed according to the porous material theory.

Kinetic studies on the recovery of platinum(iv) chloride complex ions from acidic solutions using commercially available activated carbon (AC) were carried out using spectrophotometric methods. The overall process obeyed first-order reaction model. The overall process is complex and consists of two steps: the first one is related to the reversible adsorption–desorption of PtIV complex and the second one is related to the reduction of PtIV complex on the AC surface. The first step of the overall process was limited by diffusion, whereas the second step ran under kinetic control. The activation energies of the individual reactions in both steps were determined and corresponded to 18.27, 7.85, and 31.2 kJ mol–1 for the adsorption, desorption, and reduction reactions, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results confirmed that the chemical reaction was related to the reduction of PtIV to PtII on the AC surface. The results show that the investigated AC can be applied for platinum recovery from highly diluted aqueous systems.

The condensation reaction of Meldrum’s acid with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of a catalyst has been investigated spectrophotometrically at 25-50 °C. The reaction follows overall second order kinetics, first order in each of the reactants. Electron-withdrawing groups accelerate and electron-releasing groups retard the rate of condensation. From the dependence of the rate constants on temperature, the activation parameters have been calculated and also the isokinetic temperature with a value of 403.5 K. Based on this reaction, determination of eight aromatic aldehydes in a concentration range of 1.49 - 91 μg/ml is proposed. On the other hand, determination of some aromatic aldehydes with Meldrum’s acid is performed in water at 75 °C for 2 h, without adding any catalyst.

The reactivity of the base induced cyclodimerization of 1-(6-arylpyridazin-3-yl)-3-oxidopyridinium chlorides in a pericyclic process have been investigated kinetically at λ 380 nm. The reaction was found to be second order with respect to the liberated betaine and zero order with respect to the base. On the other hand dedimerization (monomer formation) was found to be first order. It was shown that dimerization is favoured at low temperature, whereas dedimerization process is favoured at relatively high temperature (ca 70 °C). Solvent effects on the reaction rate have been found to follow the order ethanol > chloroform ≈ 1,2-dichloroethane. Complete dissociation was accomplished only in 1,2-dichloroethane at ca 70 °C. The thermodynamic activation parameters have been calculated by a standard method. Thus, ∆G# has been found to be independent on substituents and solvents. The high negative values of ∆S# supports the cyclic transition state which is in favour with the concerted mechanism. MO calculations using SCF-PPP approximation method indicated low HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the investigated betaines.

AbstractIn this paper, results of adsorption kinetic studies of Pd(II) chloride complex ions on activated carbon Organosrob 10 CO are presented. Spectorphotometrical method was applied to investigate the process. Kinetic model was proposed, and fundamental thermodynamic parameters were determined. Proposed kinetic model describes well observed phenomenon in the studied range of concentration of Pd(II) chloride complex ions as well, as concentration of activated carbon.

Kinetic studies of the acidic hydrolysis of diazepam and nitrazepam were carried out in the presence of micelles of sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds). The hydrolysis of diazepam was shown to occur with biphasic kinetics. This is consistent with initial hydrolysis of the azomethine bond followed by very slow hydrolysis of the amide bond as found for hydrolysis in aqueous solution. Nitrazepam, however, was found to decompose with monophasic kinetics consistent with initial amide hydrolysis. Reactions involving the hydrolysis of the azomethine bond were shown to be independent of acid concentration and subject to inhibition by micelles of sds. Reactions involving amide hydrolysis were shown to be first order in acid concentration and subject to micellar catalysis. The mechanistic change for the hydrolysis of nitrazepam on transfer from water (initial azomethine cleavage) to micelles of sds (initial amide cleavage), was presumably the result of the inhibition of azomethine hydrolysis and the catalysis of amide hydrolysis by the micelles.

Pseudo first-order rate constants are determined for the oxidation of a series of secondary alcohols and their monodeutero analogues by ammonium chromate in aqueous acidic solution at several temperatures; the relative rates and activation parameters are consistent with a cyclic, symmetrical transition state.

Kinetics and mechanism of micellar catalyzed N-bromosuccinimide oxidation of dextrose in H2SO4 medium was investigated under pseudo-first-order condition temperature of 40°C. The results of the reactions studied over a wide range of experimental conditions show that NBS shows a first order dependence, fractional order, on dextrose and negative fractional order dependence on sulfuric acid. The determined stoichiometric ratio was 1 : 1 (dextrose : N-bromosuccinimide). The variation of Hg(OAC)2 and succinimide (reaction product) has insignificant effect on reaction rate. Effects of surfactants, added acrylonitrile, added salts, and solvent composition variation have been studied. The Arrhenius activation energy and other thermodynamic activation parameters are evaluated. The rate law has been derived on the basis of obtained data. A plausible mechanism has been proposed from the results of kinetic studies, reaction stoichiometry, and product analysis. The role of anionic and nonionic micelle was best explained by the Berezin’s model.
