The kinetics of calcium release from tablets obtained from modified eggshells in the form of calcium citrate and calcium carbonate was investigated. Calcium release showed the first-order kinetics. After 30 min of the experiment, 79.93% of calcium was released from tablets obtained from modified eggshells in the form of calcium citrate, reaching ~100% after 3 hours. For tablets produced with calcium carbonate, these values were 7 and 60%, respectively. The half-time of calcium release from tablets containing calcium citrate was t<sub>50% </sub>= 0.5 h and for tablets containing calcium carbonate it was t<sub>50% </sub>= 2.2 h, so calcium in the form of calcium citrate was released 4 times faster. These results can be connected with different solubility of calcium salts. The hardness of tablets with calcium carbonate was by 30 N lower than the hardness of tablets with calcium citrate. It is associated with particular physicochemical properties of calcium salt. Calcium citrate can exist in several states of hydration while calcium carbonate is anhydrous. These properties have an influence on the hardness of tablets.

The kinetics of oxidation of methyl orange by vanadium(V) {V(V)} has been investigated in the pH range 2.3-3.79. In this pH range V(V) exists both in the form of decavanadates and VO2+. The kinetic results are distinctly different from the results obtained for the same reaction in highly acidic solution (pH &lt; 1) where V(V) exists only in the form of VO2+. The reaction obeys first order kinetics with respect to methyl orange but the rate has very little dependence on total vanadium concentration. The reaction is accelerated by H+ ion but the dependence of rate on [H+] is less than that corresponding to first order dependence. The equilibrium between decavanadates and VO2+ explains the different kinetic pattern observed in this pH range. The reaction is markedly accelerated by Triton X-100 micelles. The rate-[surfactant] profile shows a limiting behavior indicative of a unimolecular pathway in the micellar pseudophase.

Biogas plants may support the transformation towards renewable-based and integrated energy systems by providing dispatchable co-generation as well as opportunities for biogas upgrading or power-to-X conversion. In this paper, a simulation model that comprises the main dynamics of the internal processes of a biogas plant is developed. Based on first-order kinetics of the anaerobic digestion process, the biogas production of an input feeding schedule of raw material can be estimated. The output of the plant in terms of electrical and thermal energy is validated against empirical data from a 3-MW biogas plant on the Danish island of Bornholm. The results show that the model provides an accurate representation of the processes within a biogas plant. The paper further provides insights on the functioning of the biogas plant on Bornholm as well as discusses upgrading potentials of biogas to biomethane at the plant from an energy perspective.

A comparative study of chemical stability of terfenadine (TER) and itsin vivometabolite fexofenadine (FEX) was performed. Both TER and FEX were subjected to high temperature at different pH and UV/VIS light at different pH and then quantitatively analyzed using new validated LC-UV methods. These methods were used to monitor the degradation processes and to determine the kinetics of degradation for both the compounds. As far as the effects of temperature and pH were concerned, FEX occurred more sensitive to degradation than TER. As far as the effects of UV/VIS light and pH were concerned, the both drugs were similarly sensitive to high doses of light. Using all stress conditions, the processes of degradation of TER and FEX followed the first-order kinetics. The results obtained for these two antihistaminic drugs could be helpful in developing their new derivatives with higher activity and stability at the same time.

We previously showed, during quasi-steady-state exposures, that the rate of inhaled NO2 uptake displays reaction-mediated characteristics (J. Appl. Physiol. 68: 594–603, 1990). In vitro kinetic studies of pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (ELF) demonstrated that NO2 interfacial transfer into ELF exhibits first-order kinetics with respect to NO2, attains [NO2]-dependent rate saturation, and is aqueous substrate dependent (J. Appl. Physiol. 71: 1502–1510, 1991). We have extended these observations by evaluating the kinetics of NO2 gas phase disappearance in isolated ventilating rat lungs. Transient exposures (2–3/lung at 25 degrees C) employed rebreathing (NO2-air) from a non-compliant continuously stirred closed chamber. We observed that 1) NO2 uptake rate is independent of exposure period, 2) NO2 gas phase disappearance exhibited first-order kinetics [initial rate (r*) saturation occurred when [NO2] > 11 ppm], 3) the mean effective rate constant (k*) for NO2 gas phase disappearance ([NO2] < or = 11 ppm, tidal volume = 2.3 ml, functional residual capacity = 4 ml, ventilation frequency = 50/min) was 83 +/- 5 ml/min, 4) with [NO2] < or = 11 ppm, k* and r* were proportional to tidal volume, and 5) NO2 fractional uptakes were constant across [NO2] (< or = 11 ppm) and tidal volumes but exceeded quasi-steady-state observations. Preliminary data indicate that this divergence may be related to the inspired PCO2. These results suggest that NO2 reactive uptake within rebreathing isolated lungs follows first-order kinetics and displays initial rate saturation, similar to isolated ELF.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In an effort to introduce N,N-dichloroarylsulphonamides of different oxidising strengths, four mono- and five di-substituted N,N-dichlorobenzenesulphonamides are prepared, characterised and employed as oxidants for studying the kinetics of oxidation of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) in 50% aqueous acetic acid. The reactions show first order kinetics in [oxidant], fractional to first order in [DMSO] and nearly zero order in [H+]. Increase in ionic strength of the medium slightly increases the rates, while decrease in dielectric constant of the medium decreases the rates. The results along with those of the oxidation of DMSO by N,N-dichlorobenzenesulphonamide and N,N-dichloro-4- methylbenzenesulphonamide have been analysed. Effective oxidising species of the oxidants employed in the present oxidations is Cl+ in different forms, released from the oxidants. Therefore the introduction of different substituent groups into the benzene ring of the oxidant is expected to affect the ability of the reagent to release Cl+ and hence its capacity to oxidise the substrate. Significant changes in the kinetic and thermodynamic data are observed in the present investigations with change of substituent in the benzene ring. The electron releasing groups such as CH3 inhibit the ease with which Cl+ is released from the oxidant, while electron-withdrawing groups such as Cl enhance this ability. The Hammett equation, log kobs = −3.19 + 1.05 σ , is found to be valid for oxidations by all the p-substituted N,N-dichlorobenzenesulphonamides. The substituent effect on the energy of activation, Ea and log A for the oxidations is also analysed. The enthalpies and free energies of activation correlate with an isokinetic temperature of 320 K.

AbstractThe present work investigates the adsorptive interactions of Hg(II) ions in aqueous medium with hydroxylated silica, aminopropylsilica and silica chemically modified by β-cyclodextrin. Batch adsorption studies were carried out with various agitation times and mercury(II) concentrations. The maximum adsorption was observed within 15–30 min of agitation. The kinetics of the interactions, tested with the model of Lagergren for pseudo-first and pseudo-second order equations, showed better agreement with first order kinetics (k1 = 3.4 ± 0.2 to 5.9 ± 0.3 min−1). The adsorption data gave good fits with Langmuir isotherms. The results have shown that β-cyclodextrin-containing adsorbent has the largest adsorption specificity to Hg(II): K L = 4125 ± 205 mmol−1. “β-cyclodextrin-NO3-” inclusion complexes with ratio 1: 1 and super molecules with composition C42H70O35 ⊎ 3 Hg(NO3)2 are formed on the surface of β-cyclodextrin-containing silica.

Aqueous H3NTA, H2MIDA, H2IDA, and their anions decompose under hydrothermal conditions (400–580 K) according to first order kinetics by successive decarboxylations, oxidation by O2 being unimportant except at the highest temperatures. In the presence of added H+, the species H4NTA+ and, to a lesser extent, H3MIDA+ (but not H3IDA+), provide significant decomposition pathways through elimination of a —CH2COO— group (deacetylation). For HnNTA(3−n)−, first order rate coefficients kn for decomposition are k0 = 4.5 × 10−7, k1 ∼ 1 × 10−6, k2 ∼ 7 × 10−5, k3 = 2.1 × 10−4, and k4 = 1.0 × 10−2 s1, at 503 K and ionic strength 2.0 m, the spread in rates being due to differences in ΔS* rather than ΔH*. H2MIDA and H2IDA are comparable in reactivity to H3NTA, while their anions are much less reactive than the NTA species of the same charge. The good thermal stability of aqueous NTA commends it as a reagent for boiler servicing and for decontamination of water-cooled nuclear reactors. A potentiometric method for the estimation of mono-, di-, and tribasic aminoacids in aqueous mixtures of these is described.

The kinetics of the oxidation of benzilic acid by potassium permanganate in an acidic medium were studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction followed a two-stage process, wherein both stages of the reaction followed first-order kinetics with respect to permanganate ion and benzilic acid. The rate of the reaction increased with an increase in acid concentration. Autocatalysis was observed by one of the products, i.e., manganese(II). A composite mechanism involving autocatalysis has been proposed. The activation parameters of the reaction were calculated and discussed and the reaction constants involved in the mechanisms were calculated. There is a good agreement between the observed and calculated rate constants under different experimental conditions.Key words: oxidation, autocatalysis, benzilic acid, two-stage kinetics.

Estudou-se a cinética de degradação da mistura dos isômeros alfa e beta Endosulfan em diferentes condições de trabalho. Os compostos foram adicionados em água ultrapura, água do rio, água de rio filtrada e água ultrapura com sais (salinidade similar à agua do rio utilizada). As condições de degradação escolhidas foram: escuridão e duas temperaturas (14+1 ºC e 26+1 ºC). As amostragens foram programadas de modo a se obter dados periódicos mais freqüentes no início da experiência e posteriormente mais espaçados até o seu final (230 dias). As amostras foram submetidas à microextração e analisadas por cromatografia em fase gasosa com detector de Ni63 e coluna Megabore DB-5. A degradação foi descrita de acordo com a cinética de primeira ordem, determinando-se os tempos de meia vida (t1/2) e as energias de ativação (Ea). Os dados obtidos evidenciaram que a temperatura é o fator preponderante, sendo possível deduzir que o alfaendosulfan, exceto para água ultrapura (AU), é mais influenciado pela temperatura do que o beta-endosulfan. O segundo efeito mais importante refere-se ao tipo de água utilizada como matriz, devido à influência da salinidade. PERSISTANCE OF ENDOSULFAN IN STATIC AQUEOUS MEDIUM Abstract Degradation kinetics of a mixture of alpha- and beta-Endosulfan isomers was studied under different conditions. The compounds were spiked in ultrapure water, river water, filtered water and ultrapure water with salts (similar salinity condition to that of the river water used). The degradation conditions chosen were: darkness, two temperatures (14+1 ºC e 26+1 ºC). Samplings were programmed in order to obtain more frequent periodical data in the beginning of the experience and after more spaced until its end (230 days). The samples were submitted to microextraction and then analyzed by gas chromatography through a Ni63 detector equipped with a Megabore DB-5 column. Degradation was described using first-order kinetics to determine half-life times (t1/2) and activation energies (Ea). The data obtained evidenced that temperature is the predominant factor, it can possibly be inferred that alfa-endosulfan is much more influenced than beta-endosulfan except for ultrapure water (UW). The second important effect is the water type used as matrix, due to the influence of salinity.
