Electroreduction of Ni(II) and Co(II) has been carried out in aqueous mixtures of formamide, acetamide and urea. Electrode kinetics in terms of theories of irreversible waves have been studied. After calculating the rate constants by DELAHAY1 and Kou-TECKY2 treatments separately their variation with electrode potential has been used to calculate the product ‘ana’. The rate constants and ‘ana’ calculated from two different approaches show remarkable agreement. `ana’ records a gradual decrease with increasing amide content of the aqueous mixture.

The rate constants for the reduction of V(III) and oxidation of V(II) were measured on a mercury electrode in water and water-dimethylsulphoxide mixtures. Their dependance on the concentration of DMSO differs from that in mixtures of water with an organic solvent of lower basicity. This can be attributed to the existence of different solvates of vanadium in solutions and to different values of the rate constant for these solvates on the electrode surface at different coverages with the organic component. The influence of DMSO both in the primary solvation sphere and in the electrode double layer on the electrode reaction rate is discussed.

The kinetics of oxidation of several nickel(II) tetraazamacrocycles by the peroxydisulphate anion have been studied in water and in binary aqueous mixtures. The reactions proceed via an ion-pairing pre-equilibrium, followed by metal ion-assisted peroxy-bond fissure within the ion-pair solvent shell. The derived rate law is[Formula: see text]Ion-pairing constants have been determined and have been found to be little influenced by steric factors, but do depend on solvent composition. Rate constants have been extracted using the rate expression and activation energies have been estimated from temperature dependences.

The kinetics of electroreduction of tetrathionate anion have been studied at a Hg electrode in aqueous solutions of Nal + NaF and KI + KF with an ionic strength of 0.25 M. The rate of reaction was observed to decrease as the iodide ion concentration was increased, and when the cation was changed from K+ to Na+ at constant electrode potential. Analysis of the double layer effects on the basis of the Frumkin model results in an overestimation of the repulsive effect of the adsorbed iodide anions. This result is interpreted on the basis of the discreteness-of-charge effect and the possible non-coincidence of the reaction plane and outer Helmholtz plane.

The electron transfer rate constants in the reduction of Ti4+ and oxidation of Ti3+ in water and in water DMF and water DMSO mixtures were determined by square-wave polarography and by analysis of the DC and pulse polarographic curves. The two reactions occur at different potentials due to the rapid consecutive transformation of the primary product of the electrode reaction. Thus the rate constants are no standard rate constants, and depend on the method employed. The effect of the organic co-solvent varies for both reactions as a consequence of dependence of the degree of electrode coverage on potential. Generally, the adsorbed organic substance exerts an accelerating catalytic effect.

Abrasive stripping voltammetry was applied to the chronoamperometric and voltammetric investigation of the kinetics of reductive dissolution of synthetic and natural iron(III) hydroxy-oxides. Conditions were found under which the dissolution process can be described by equations derived for and applied to the surface reaction of the particles. The rate constants obtained were employed to compare the electrochemical and chemical reductive dissolution and to quantitatively evaluate the effect of adsorbing ions, pH, and working electrode potential.

A two step operation is proposed for the biodegradation of low concentrations (< 10 mg/L) of BETX substances in an up flow submerged biotower configuration. Step 1 involves growth of a lush biofilm using benzoic acid in a batch mode. Step 2 involves a longer term biological transformation of BETX. Kinetics of biotransformations are modeled using first order assumptions, with rate constants being a function of benzoic acid dosages used in Step 1. A calibrated computer model is developed and presented to predict the degree of transformation and biomass level throughout the tower under a variety of inlet and design operational conditions.

The rate of hydrolysis of S2O82- ions in acidic medium to peroxomonosulphuric acid was measured at 20 and 30 °C. The composition of the starting solution corresponded to the anolyte flowing out from an electrolyser for production of this acid or its ammonium salt at various degrees of conversion and starting molar ratios of sulphuric acid to ammonium sulphate. The measured data served to calculate the rate constants at both temperatures on the basis of the earlier proposed mechanism of the hydrolysis, and their dependence on the ionic strength was studied.

The reaction between hexamethylenediisocyanate and 1-pentanol in toluene was studied by means of reversed-phase liquid chromatography. By employing this method, it was possible to determine all components of the reaction mixture including both products, i.e. N-(6-isocyanate hexyl)pentylcarbamate and N,N'-bis(pentyloxycarbonyl)hexamethylenediamine. Relations for the calculation of kinetic constants were derived assuming a competitive consecutive second-order reaction. It was demonstrated that the reaction involved in this case is indeed a second-order reaction, and the rate constants of the first and second consecutive reactions were determined.

The kinetics of liquid-phase isothermal esterification of POCl3 with 2-isopropylphenol and 4-isopropylphenol have been studied within the temperature intervals of 110 to 130 and 90 to 110 °C, respectively. The rate constants and activation energies of the individual steps of this three-step reaction have been calculated from the values measured. The reaction rates of the two isomers markedly differ: at 110 °C 4-isopropylphenol reacts faster by the factors of about 7 and 20 for k1 and k3, respectively. This finding can be utilized in preparation of mixed triaryl phosphates, since the alkylation mixture after reaction of phenol with propene contains an excess of 2-isopropylphenol over 4-isopropylphenol.
