Kinetics parameter values of methyl ricinoleate nitration (rate constant, reaction order and the rate of reaction) have been determined. Nitration was carried out with both concentrations of HNO3 and acetic anhydride in excess to the concentration of methyl ricinoleate. Thus, the kinetics parameter value was only affected by the concentration of methyl ricinoleate. Based on kinetic study conducted, it could be concluded that the nitration follows pseudo first-order, and the reaction rate for methyl ricinoleate with initial concentration of 0.375, 0.325 and 0.250 M were 3.736 x 10-5, 2.471 x 10-5, and 1.724 x 10-5 M/s respectively, with the rate constant at 28 °C was 6.667 x 10-4 (s-1). Based on evaluation of FTIR spectra could be estimated that the nitration produces compounds containing functional groups of -NO3 and -NO2.

Research on the kinetics of electrode reaction during copper electro-deposition on the surface of TiO2/graphite has been conducted. The aims of this research are to determine the ratio of anodic reaction rate to cathodic reaction rate , the ratio of anodic rate constant to cathodic rate constant , the equilibrium constant when the reaction reach equilibrium condition and to study the polarization in the electro-deposition reaction. Copper was deposited electrochemically from CuSO4 solution at various concentration i.e. 0.1 M; 0.2 M; 0.3 M; 0.4 M; 0.5 M. In every 5 minutes during electro-deposition process, the pH changes in anode cell was recorded and the change of Cu2+ concentration was also analyzed by spectrophotometric method. The result shows that the reaction order of Cu2+ reduction is first order and the oxidation of H2O in anodic cell is zero order. The ratio of anodic rate constant to cathodic rate constant, is 4.589´10-3 ± 0.071´10‑3. It indicates that the reaction rate  in cathode is larger than the reaction rate in anode and it allowed polarization.  The electrochemical cell reached equilibrium after 25 minutes with the equilibrium constant is 8.188´10-10 ± 1.628´10-10.

A simple empirical model for predicting the pyrolysis rate of fuel packed bed of a woodstove has been presented. The thermolytic behavior of the fuel bed has been approximated by a pseudo-first order reaction. The reaction rate constant has been determined as function of temperature. The effect of orientation of twigs in the fuel bed arrangement and twig diameter on the reaction rate constant has been analyzed. It has been concluded that the effect of twig orientation is insignificant while the peak magnitude of reaction rate constant increased with increasing twig diameter.

Spherical sponge iron (SSI) with high activity and intension could be prepared through direct reduction by charcoal or hydrogen. The capability of cadmium removal by SSI was investigated in. It was suggested that the reaction of SSI reduced by hydrogen was higher than that reduced by charcoal, and the increasing rate of pH and cadmium removal in solution by SSI reduced by hydrogen was higher than that reduced by charcoal. Moreover, cadmium removal percentage by SSI reduced with hydrogen was much higher than that reduced by charcoal. When the original concentration of cadmium was 50mg/L, cadmium removal by SSI appeared to be the pseudo-first-order reaction because the reaction order was from 0.861 to 0.984. The apparent reaction rate constant of cadmium removal by SSI reduced with charcoal was 0.586 h-1. While hydrogen was utilized as reduction agent, the apparent reaction rate constant of cadmium removal was increased by 7.3 and 13.7 times.

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.

Results are presented on the rate of thiamin cleavage by sulphite in aqueous solutions as affected by temperature (20–70°), pH(2·5–7·0), and variation of the concentration of either thiamin (1–20μm) or sulphite (10–5000μm as sulphur dioxide). Plots of the logarithm of percentage of residual thiamin against time were found to be linear and cleavage thus was first-order with respect to thiamin. At pH5 the rate was also found to be proportional to the sulphite concentration. In the pH region 2·5–7·0 at 25° the rate constant was 50m−1hr.−1 at pH5·5–6·0, and decreased at higher or lower pH values. The rate of reaction increased between 20° and 70°, indicating a heat of activation of 13·6kcal./mole.

The kinetics of the reconstitution reaction of apotyrosinase with copper (II) ions are reported. The reaction is pseudo first order with respect to apoenzyme and the values of these pseudo first order rate constants are reported as a function of copper (II) concentration. Two copper ions bind to apoenzyme, and if the second one is rate limiting, the kinetically relevant copper concentration is the copper originally added minus the amount used in binding the first copper ion to enzyme. This modified copper concentration is linearly related to the magnitude of the pseudo first order rate constant, up to a copper concentration of 1.25 × 10−4 M (10-fold excess), giving a second order rate constant of 7.67 × 102 ± 0.93 × 102 M−1∙s−1.Key words: apotyrosinase, copper, tyrosinase.

The enzyme deoxyribose 5-phosphate aldolase was irreversibly inactivated by the substrate analogue acrolein with a pseudo-first-order rate constant of 0.324 min-1 and a Ki (apparent) of 2.7 × 10(-4) m. No inactivation was observed after prolonged incubation with the epoxide analogues glycidol phosphate and glycidaldehyde. It is suggested that the acrolein is first activated by forming a Schiff base with the enzyme active-site lysine residue and it is the activated inhibitor that reacts with a suitable-active-site nucleophile.

The kinetics of TBBPA degradation by ozonation in semi-batch reactor was studied. The reaction rate constants of TBBPA with O3 and •OH were measured by means of direct ozone attack and competition kinetics, and the values of which were 6.10 l/(mol•s), 4.8×109 l/(mol•s), respectively. Results of kinetic studies showed that TBBPA degradation by ozonation under the different conditions tested followed the pseudo-first-order. The values of apparent rate constant of TBBPA degradation increased with the increase of ozone dosage and pH, but decreased with the increase of initial TBBPA concentration.

Abstract Here, we used a fully automated, computer-directed centrifugal analyzer (which permitted simultaneous turbidimetry and calculation of results) and purified thrombin, fibrinogen, and various inhibitors to study clot formation. The Km and Vm for these reactions were useful in detecting and partly characterizing anticoagulants. We also explored the generation and inactivation of thrombin, using the two-stage prothrombin time and antithrombin activity tests. The amount of thrombin instantaneously generated and inactivated was monitored under artificially created pathological conditions. The pseudo-first-order rate constant for thrombin generation and inactivation and the instantaneous concentration of enzymatically active and inactive thrombin were used in the characterization of these conditions. We believe this approach is suitable for routine clinical use.
