Gypsum dissolution as a function of time was measured in solutions having a sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of 7.5, 14 and 27 (mmol(+) kg-1)1/2 and an electrical conductivity (EC) of 1 5 and 3.1 dS m-1. The amount of gypsum dissolved increased with increases in the SAR and EC values of the different equilibrating solutions. The rate of gypsum dissolution was higher initially but declined with increasing time of equilibration. Of the total amount of gypsum dissolved in 40 h, about 60-70% dissolution occurred during the first 5 min. Comparisons of coefficients of determination (r2) and standard errors of estimate indicated that, in addition to the most widely used linear form of the first-order model, other models such as the power function, empirical (modified from first-order) and the Elovich equation, can also be used to describe the kinetics of gypsum dissolution in aqueous solutions varying in SAR and EC.

This study presents the synthesis, characterization and toluene sensing properties of copper(II), indium(III) acetate, mono-lutetium(III) acetate and tin(IV) phthalocyanines substituted with 2,6-dimethoxyphenol bioactive groups at the peripheral and non-peripheral positions. The effects of the substituent’s position on the toluene vapor detection capabilities of these compounds were investigated. Adsorption data were analyzed by using first-order and Elovich equations in order to investigate the adsorption kinetics. It was found that the kinetics of the toluene adsorption strongly depends on the position of the substituent groups. Our results showed that the Elovich equation fits the experimental data well for non-peripherally substituted Pc based sensors, while the pseudo first-order model best describes the adsorption data for peripheral substituted Pc based sensors.

The immobilization and stabilization of Aspergillus oryzae ?-galactosidase on Duolite??A568 was achieved using a combination of physical adsorption, incubation step in buffer at pH 9.0 and cross-linking with glutaraldehyde and in this sequence promoted a 44% increase in enzymatic activity as compared with the biocatalyst obtained after a two-step immobilization process (adsorption and cross-linking). The stability of the biocatalyst obtained by three-step immobilization process (adsorption, incubation in buffer at pH 9.0 and cross-linking) was higher than that obtained by two-steps (adsorption and cross-linking) and for free enzyme in relation to pH, storage and reusability. The immobilized biocatalyst was characterized with respect to thermal stability in the range 55-65 ?C. The kinetics of thermal deactivation was well described by the first-order model, which resulted in the immobilized biocatalyst activation energy of thermal deactivation of 71.03 kcal/mol and 5.48 h half-life at 55.0 ?C.

Kinetics of scandium recovery by TVEX containing tributyl phosphate was studied from the clarified leaching solution of salt chlorinator cake. To assess the contribution of each diffusion phase, experimental data were analyzed using a graphic method. To define the contribution of chemical interaction into the scandium extraction process, recovery kinetics was quantitatively described using pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order kinetic models and Elovich equation in linearized form. It was established that recovery kinetics was most accurately described with the pseudo-second-order model.

ABSTRACT Sporolactobacillus species have been occasionally isolated from spoiled foods and environmental sources. Thus, food processors should be aware of their potential presence and characteristics. In this study, the heat resistance and influence of the growth and recovery media on apparent heat resistance of Sporolactobacillus nakayamae spores were studied and described mathematically. For each medium, survivor curves and thermal death curves were generated for different treatment times (0 to 25 min) at different temperatures (70, 75, and 80°C) and Weibull and first-order models were compared. Thermal inactivation data for S. nakayamae spores varied widely depending on the media formulations used, with glucose yeast peptone consistently yielding the highest D-values for the three temperatures tested. For this same medium, the D-values ranged from 25.24 ± 1.57 to 3.45 ± 0.27 min for the first-order model and from 24.18 ± 0.62 to 3.50 ± 0.24 min for the Weibull model at 70 and 80°C, respectively. The z-values determined for S. nakayamae spores were 11.91 ± 0.29°C for the Weibull model and 11.58 ± 0.43°C for the first-order model. The calculated activation energy was 200.5 ± 7.3 kJ/mol for the first-order model and 192.8 ± 22.1 kJ/mol for the Weibull model. The Weibull model consistently produced the best fit for all the survival curves. This study provides novel and precise information on thermal inactivation kinetics of S. nakayamae spores that will enable reliable thermal process calculations for eliminating this spoilage bacterium.

A nickel phosphide hydrodeoxygenation catalyst (Ni2P-O/MCM-41) was prepared using a new synthetic method. The as-prepared catalyst was evaluated in the hydrodeoxygenation of benzofuran, and the effects of reaction temperature, pressure, and the H2/liquid ratio were investigated. A pseudo first-order model was employed to describe the reaction kinetics of benzofuran hydrodeoxygenation over the Ni2P-O/MCM-41 catalyst. The reaction rate constants ( k1– k5) at different temperatures were determined according to this model. At 533 K, the conversion of 2-ethylphenol in to ethylbenzene began to increase dramatically, and the yield of O-free product, ethylcyclohexane, started to increase rapidly. At 573 K, 3.0 MPa, and a H2/liquid ratio of 500 (V/V), the conversion of benzofuran over Ni2P-O/MCM-41 reached 93%, and the combined yield of O-free products was 91%. Contact time analysis indicated that demethylation was not favored over the Ni2P-O/MCM-41 catalyst.

Abstract The adsorption of methyl orange (MO) in aqueous solution was evaluated using a cationic polymer (Amberlite IRA 402) in batch experiments under different experimental variables such as amount of resin, concentration of MO, optimum interaction time and pH. The maximum adsorption capacity of the resin was 161.3 mg g−1 at pH 7.64 at 55 °C and using a contact time of 300 min, following the kinetics of the pseudo-first-order model in the adsorption process. The infinite solution volume model shows that the adsorption rate is controlled by the film diffusion process. In contrast, the chemical reaction is the decisive step of the adsorption rate when the unreacted core model is applied. A better fit to the Langmuir model was shown for equilibrium adsorption studies. From the thermodynamic study it was observed that the sorption capacity is facilitated when the temperature increases.

ABSTRACTHuman noroviruses (HNoV) and hepatitis A virus (HAV) have been implicated in outbreaks linked to the consumption of presliced ready-to-eat deli meats. The objectives of this research were to determine the thermal inactivation kinetics of HNoV surrogates (murine norovirus 1 [MNV-1] and feline calicivirus strain F9 [FCV-F9]) and HAV in turkey deli meat, compare first-order and Weibull models to describe the data, and calculate Arrhenius activation energy values for each model. TheD(decimal reduction time) values in the temperature range of 50 to 72°C calculated from the first-order model were 0.1 ± 0.0 to 9.9 ± 3.9 min for FCV-F9, 0.2 ± 0.0 to 21.0 ± 0.8 min for MNV-1, and 1.0 ± 0.1 to 42.0 ± 5.6 min for HAV. Using the Weibull model, thetD = 1(time to destroy 1 log) values for FCV-F9, MNV-1, and HAV at the same temperatures ranged from 0.1 ± 0.0 to 11.9 ± 5.1 min, from 0.3 ± 0.1 to 17.8 ± 1.8 min, and from 0.6 ± 0.3 to 25.9 ± 3.7 min, respectively. Thez(thermal resistance) values for FCV-F9, MNV-1, and HAV were 11.3 ± 2.1°C, 11.0 ± 1.6°C, and 13.4 ± 2.6°C, respectively, using the Weibull model. Thezvalues using the first-order model were 11.9 ± 1.0°C, 10.9 ± 1.3°C, and 12.8 ± 1.7°C for FCV-F9, MNV-1, and HAV, respectively. For the Weibull model, estimated activation energies for FCV-F9, MNV-1, and HAV were 214 ± 28, 242 ± 36, and 154 ± 19 kJ/mole, respectively, while the calculated activation energies for the first-order model were 181 ± 16, 196 ± 5, and 167 ± 9 kJ/mole, respectively. Precise information on the thermal inactivation of HNoV surrogates and HAV in turkey deli meat was generated. This provided calculations of parameters for more-reliable thermal processes to inactivate viruses in contaminated presliced ready-to-eat deli meats and thus to reduce the risk of foodborne illness outbreaks.
