The influence of small amounts of the Fe, Co, and Ni impurities on the spontaneous hydrolytic process of borohydride was studied within a temperature range of 60–100°C. The object under study was a simulated solution containing 9.53 M of OH− ions and 0.14 M of BH− 4 ions, used as a fuel for borohydride fuel cells. The rate constant k of borohydride hydrolysis for a small amount of impurities at different temperature was estimated. The lowest non-accelerating concentrations of the impurities were established (∼10 ppm for iron; ∼1 ppm for cobalt). The strongest accelerating effect on the hydrolysis of BH− 4 ions was rendered by nickel impurities: self-hydrolysis was accelerated by 1.2 times for 1 ppm Ni. The ambiguous trend of the kinetic curves does not allow to accurately estimate the activation energy; however, the increased temperature enhances the catalytic effect of hydrolysis acceleration according to Arrhenius’ equation.

Cornstalk, among the agricultural residues and other non-wood fiber, is a more promising source of lignocellulosic materials for bioethanol production. Pretreatment is an essential step in the enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass and subsequent production of bioethanol. Kinetic models can have practical applications for the optimization of the process and performance analysis, or economic estimations, so investigate the cornstalk hydrolysis kinetics is necessary. In this paper, effects of temperature and time on cornstalk hydrolysis in saturated formic acid with 4% hydrochloric acid solution reaction kinetics have been investigated. The results showed that the hydrolysis velocities of cornstalk were 0.021 h−1 at 60 °C, 0.0302 h−1 at 65 °C and 0.060 h−1 at 70 °C, the degradation velocities of glucose were 0.061 h−1 at 60 °C, 0.0845 h−1 at 65 °C, and 0.24 h−1 at 70 °C, the activation energy of cornstalk hydrolysis was 99.60 kJ/mol, and the activation energy of glucose degradation was130.94 kJ/mol.

AbstractIn present work, we have studied kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of 14 compounds, which are phenylcarbamic acid derivatives with integrated N-phenylpiperazine moiety in the structure. The compounds possessed moderate antiarrhythmic and antimycobacterial activity. Their hydrolysis was carried out in an aqueous medium ethanol sodium hydroxide solution. The course of the hydrolysis was observed spectrophotometrically in visible as well as in ultraviolet regions. The pseudo-first order rate constants were calculated at several temperatures. The values of the activation energy EAwere determined by the Arrhenius equation. The rate of hydrolysis of the compounds under the study increase with the increase in temperature and it has been differentiated according to the substitution of N-phenylpiperazine as well as to the alkoxy substitution on phenyl ring.

The kinetics of the non-enzymatic hydrolysis of adenosine diphosphate in aqueous solution have been studied at pH 3.5 to 10.5 and temperatures from 80° to 95 °C. The reaction has been followed by measuring colorimetrically the inorganic phosphate liberated according to the over-all reaction[Formula: see text]The reaction has been found to be first order with respect to ADP concentration and to be catalyzed by hydrogen ions. From rate studies at pH 8.0 an activation energy of 24.2 kcal./mole was derived. A mechanism is proposed to account for the observed facts and the mechanism for the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate is also discussed.

Micro-molecular dextran was prepared in sub-critical water and sub-critical Water/CO2by hydrolysis of dextran20. The obtained products were mainly characterized by GPC. The kinetics of hydrolysis of dextran20 has been studied in the temperature range of 423.15K-463.15K. It was found that the level of dextran20 hydrolysis in sub-critical water and sub-critical water/CO2was first level kinetics equation. The activation energy was also calculated. The results demonstrated that the molecular weight of micro-molecular dextran could be controlled.

The macrocyclic complex trans-[Co(dtcd)(NO2)Br] [ClO4] (dtcd = 5,12-dimethyl-l,4,8,1l-tetraaza-cyclotetradeca-4,ll-diene) has been prepared and its hydrolysis kinetics investigated. At 25�C and 0.1 M HN03 the aquation occurs with kaq = 6.2 x 10-3 s-1 to give the trans-Co(dtcd)(NO2)- (OH2)]2+ cation. The activation parameters at 298 K are ΔH? = 75.0 kJ mol-1 and ΔS? = -35.6 J K-1 mol-1. Hydrolysis of the bromide in the pH range 7.5-8.8 follows the rate expression kobs = kaq + kOH[OH-]. At 25�C (I = 0.1 M, NaClO4) kOH = 1.21 x 103 1. mol-1 s-1 with the activation parameters for base hydrolysis being ΔH? = 74.2 kJ mol-1 and ΔS? = +63.2 J K-1 mol-1 at 298 K. Aquation and base hydrolysis of the bromo complex at 25�C occur at rates 14 and 5 times faster respectively than those previously reported for the analogous trans-[Co(dtcd)(NO2)Cl]+ complex, the acceleration being due to a more favourable entropy of activation in each case.
