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.

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.

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.

LaNi5 alloy is one of the promising materials for hydrogen storage. It has good activation property, fast reaction rate and moderate plateau pressure. However, some of its hydrogen storage properties will change after repeated hydriding/dehydriding cycles, which limits its practical application. Therefore, this paper investigated the cycling properties of LaNi5 alloy by volumetric method. The results showed that the reaction rate increased with cycling. The hydriding/dehydriding hydrogen content decreased with cycling. For hydriding reaction, the equilibrium pressure increased with cycling, while it decreased for dehydriding at 40°C and 60°C. After 100 cycles, the LaNi5 alloy has been severely pulverized and oxygenated. The oxidation products include LaNiO2, La2NiO4, La2NiO4.18 and LaNiO3. The JMA model was found to fit the kinetic data well, suggesting a nucleation and growth controlling mechanism. The intrinsic reaction rate constant ka increases from 21.87 s-1to 24.81 s-1, while the activation energy decreases from the initial value of 19459 to 19373 J/mol after 100 cycles.

The result of burning hydrogen which is environmentally friendly makes hydrogen as a very attractive fuel. Hydrogen storage is interesting research material. One alternative to hydrogen storage is a metal-hydride as NaBH4. In this paper, the catalyst for hydrogen production from storage, namely The result of burning hydrogen, which is environmentally friendly, makes hydrogen a desirable fuel. Hydrogen storage is exciting research material. One alternative to hydrogen storage is a metal-hydride as NaBH4. In this paper, the catalyst for hydrogen production from storage, namely NaBH4, was synthesized by electrochemical. Ni-B catalyst with hydroxyapatite as catalyst support was prepared by electrochemical. Ni-B/HA catalyst was synthesized at various current densities (namely 67, 133, and 200 mA/cm2) and various electrolysis times (namely 30, 60, and 90 minutes). The resulting catalysts were analyzed by XRD and used as the catalyst for hydrogen production from the hydrolysis reaction of NaBH4. The fastest hydrogen production was obtained using a catalyst generated at 133 mA/cm2 and an electrolysis time of 60 minutes. The reaction rate equation for the hydrolysis of NaBH4 has a first-order reaction to the concentration of NaBH4. The resulting reaction rate constant ranged from 233.33 mL/g/min to 861.11 mL/g/min. The relationship between reaction temperature and reaction rate constant can be expressed by the equation k = 2.2x106exp (5534/T).

The desorption behaviors of hydrogen from high entropy alloy TiZrVMoNb hydride surface have been investigated using the density functional theory. The (110) surface has been determined to be the most preferable surface for hydrogen desorption from TiZrVMoNb hydride. Due to the high lattice distortion and heterogeneous chemical environment in HEA hydride, hydrogen desorption from the HEA hydride surface is found to be complex. A comparison of molecular and atomic hydrogen desorption reveals that hydrogen prefers to desorb in atomic states from TiZrVMoNb hydride (110) surface rather than molecular states during the hydrogen desorption process. To combine as H2 molecules, the hydrogen atoms need to overcome attractive interaction from TiZrVMoNb hydride (110) surface. These results suggest that the hydrogen desorption on TiZrVMoNb hydride (110) surface is a chemical process. The presented results provide fundamental insights into the underlying mechanism for hydrogen desorption from HEA hydride surface and may open up more possibilities for designing HEAs with excellent hydrogen desorption ability.

An alternative method of determining exothermic reactor model parameters which include first order reaction rate constant is described in this paper. The method is based on known in reactor temperature development and is suitable for processes with changing quality of input substances. This method allows us to evaluate the reaction substances composition change and is also capable of the reaction rate constant (parameters of the Arrhenius equation) determination. Method can be used in exothermic batch or semi- batch reactors running processes based on the first order reaction. An example of such process is given here and the problem is shown on its mathematical model with the help of simulations.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the operational parameters of the UV intensity and TiO2 dosage for the removal of humic acid and heavy metals. It also evaluated the applicability of hollow fiber microfiltration for the separation of TiO2 particles in photocatalytic microfiltration systems. TiO2 powder P-25 Degussa and hollow fiber microfiltration with a 0.4 μm nominal pore size were used for experiments. Under the conditions of pH 7 and a TiO2 dosage 0.3 g/L, the reaction rate constant (k) for humic acid and heavy metals increased with an increase of the UV intensity in each process. For the UV/TiO2/MF process, the reaction rate constant (k) for humic acid and Cu, with the exception of Cr in a low range of UV intensity, was higher compared to that of UV/TiO2 due to the adsorption of the membrane surface. The reaction rate constant (k) increased as the TiO2 dosage increased in the range of 0.1~0.3 g/L. However it decreased for a concentration over 0.3 g/L of TiO2. For the UV/TiO2/MF process, TiO2 particles could be effectively separated from treated water via membrane rejection. The average removal efficiency for humic acid and heavy metals during the operational time was over 90 %. Therefore, photocatalysis with a membrane is believed to be a viable process for humic acid and heavy metals removal.
