Abstract This work is dedicated to the removal of free cyanide from aqueous solution through oxidation with hydrogen peroxide H2O2 catalyzed by copper oxide nanoparticles. Effects of initial molar ratio [H2O2]0/[CN−]0, catalyst dose, temperature, pH and the catalyst stability on cyanide removal have been investigated. The use of copper oxide has improved the reaction rate showing catalytic activity. The cyanide removal efficiency was increased from 60% to 94% by increasing in the dose of catalyst from 0.5 g/L to 5.0 g/L. Increasing the temperature from 20 °C to 35 °C promotes cyanide removal and the four successive times re-use of catalyst shows good stability. Kinetics of cyanide removal was found to be of pseudo-first-order with respect to cyanide. The rate constants have been determined.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficiency of ozonation and the hydrogen peroxide–ozone process for the removal of cyanide from coking wastewater. The most efficient oxidation process is combined with coagulation–flocculation–decantation and lime–soda ash softening pretreatments. The oxidation in aqueous solution and industrial wastewater (at pH 9.5–12.3) by O3 was carried out using a range of concentration of consumed O3 from 10 to 290 mg/L. A molar ratio of H2O2/O3 from 0.1 to 5.2 with different concentrations of O3 constants was used for the H2O2-O3 process. The maximum cyanide removal obtained in coking wastewater was 90% using a mass ratio of O3/CN– of 9.5. Using lower concentrations of O3, cyanide is not removed and can even be generated due to the presence of other cyanide precursor organic micropollutants in the industrial matrix. The concentration of O3 is reduced to half for the same cyanide removal efficiency if the pretreatments are applied to reduce the carbonate and bicarbonate ions. The cyanide removal efficiency in coking wastewater is not improved if the O3 is combined with the H2O2. However, the preliminary cyanide removal treatment in aqueous solution showed an increase in the cyanide removal efficiency for the H2O2-O3 process.

The kinetics of the oxidation of quinaldine red, a cationic dye, using hydrogen peroxide has been studied in aqueous solution. The rate of reaction was found to be first order in [quinaldine red] whereas in hydrogen peroxide it varies from one to zero with increasing [H

Initial rates of reaction for the above oxidation have been measured by a stopped-flow conductance method. Between pH 2 and 3.6, the initial rate of reaction, R, is given by the expression R{[HSO5-]+[SCN-]} = {kb+kc[H+]}[HSO5-]0[SCN-]20+ka[H+]-1[HSO5]20[SCN-]0 As pH increases, there is a transition to a pH-independent rate, first order in each thiocyanate and peroxomonosulphate concentrations.

In this research, treatment of diatomaceous earth, Sangiran, Central Java using hydrogen chloride (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) on kinetics of Cd(II) adsorption in aqueous solution has been carried out. The work was conducted by mixing an amount of grounded diatomaceous earth (200 mesh in size) with HCl or H2SO4 solution in various concentrations for two hours at temperature range of 100 - 150oC. The mixture was then filtered and washed with water until the filtrate pH is approximately 7 and then the residue was dried for four hours at a temperature of 70oC. The product was used as an adsorbent to adsorb Cd(II) in aqueous solution with various concentrations. The Cd(II) adsorbed was determined by analyzing the rest of Cd(II) in the solution using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The effect of treatment was evaluated from kinetic parameter of adsorption rate constant calculated based on the simple kinetic model. Results showed  that before equilibrium condition reached, adsorpstion of Cd(II) occurred through two steps, i.e. a step tends to follow a reaction of irreversible first order  (step I) followed by reaction of reversible first order (step II). Treatment with acids, either hydrogen chloride or sulfuric acid, decreased adsorption rate constant for the step I from 15.2/min to a range of 6.4 - 9.4/min.  However, increasing concentration of acid (in a range of concentration investigated) did not give significant and constant change of adsorption rate constant. For step II process,  adsorption involved physical interaction with the sufficient low adsorption energy (in a range of 311.3 - 1001 J/mol).     Keywords: adsorption, cdmium, diatomaceous earth, kinetics.

The kinetics of the reaction between has been studied under conditions of production of iodine at a known rate by the persulfate-iodide reaction and its consumption by S2O3-- . The effective concentration of iodine during the steady state is measured from its reduction potential at a bright platinum foil electrode. The reaction is of first order with respect to I3- and S2O3-- individually and hence of over all second order. The specific rate is 1.51 X 105 M -1 sec-1 and the frequency factor is 1.69 × 1012 M -1 sec-1 at 25 °C. The energy of activation for the reaction is 9.58 × 103 cal/mole and the entropy of activation is -2.55 cal/mole deg.

The composite weakly basic resin (D301Fe) was prepared and examined using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The adsorption kinetics of glyphosate from aqueous solution onto composite weakly basic resin (D301Fe) were investigated under different conditions. The experimental data was analyzed using various adsorption kinetic models like pseudo-first order, the pseudo-second order, the Elovich and the parabolic diffusion models to determine the best-fit equation for the adsorption of glyphosate onto D301Fe. The results show that the pseudo-second order equation fitted the experimental data well and its adsorption was chemisorption-controlled.

Copper oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized using micro reactors made of bis (2-ethylhexyle) sulfosuccinate (AOT)/water/n-Hexane microemulsions. The controls of particles size was achieved by varying water to surfactant molar ratio (W0). At constant of surfactant concentration the increases in value of W0increased the population of micelles and resulted in lager particle size. Their sizes and appearance were characterized by TEM, SEM, Zetasizer, uv-visible methods. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed the spherical morphology of as prepared CuO nanoparticles. The Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed 85 nm size of as prepared CuO particles.

The oxidation of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalytic amount of sodium tungstate (Na2WO4) has been studied kinetically by means of iodometry of hydrogen peroxide. The reaction is first-order with respect to the substrate and the catalyst, but independent of the concentration of hydrogen peroxide which is present in excess of the catalyst. The polarographic study implies that in solutions two main kinds of peroxytungstic acids (H2WO5 and H2WO8) are formed which contain active oxygen in ratios (active oxygen):(Na2WO4) of 1:1 and 4:1, respectively. The effect of acidity on the oxidation rate and a probable mechanism involving a rate-determining attack of peroxytungstic acids are discussed.
