In order to solve environmental problems due to chlorophenol compound and which is hazardous and carcinogenic, the effect of Cr(VI) ions on the chlorophenol photodegradation effectiveness has been evaluated. Photodegradation process was carried out in a closed reactor by batch sistem, by exposing the UV lamp into a solution containing chlorophenol and Cr(VI) ions for a period of time. Then the solution was analyzed by gas chromatography for determination of the residual chlorophenol concentration. In this research, the influences of reaction time, Cr(VI) ions concentration, and solution pH on the photodegradation results were also evaluated. The research results indicated that the effectiveness of the photodegradation increases when ion Cr(VI) was added. The improvement of the effectiveness is proportional with the increase of the concentration of Cr(VI) added. The effectiveness of the photodegradation is also influenced by solution pH, and the highest is reached at pH < 2. Chlorophenol photodegradation follows first order reaction. The respective rate reaction constants for chlorophenol photodegradation in the absence and in the presence of Cr(VI) ions are 4.91x 10-2 and 11.41x 10-2 hours-1   Keywords: photodegradation, chlorophenol, Cr(VI) ion

Abstract The aim of this study was to verify first-order kinetic reaction rate model performance in predicting of leaching of atrazine and inorganic compounds (K+1, Fe+3, Mg+2, Mn+2, NH4 +, NO3 - and PO4 -3) from tilled and orchard silty loam soils. This model provided an excellent fit to the experimental concentration changes of the compounds vs. time data during leaching. Calculated values of the first-order reaction rate constants for the changes of all chemicals were from 3.8 to 19.0 times higher in orchard than in tilled soil. Higher first-order reaction constants for orchard than tilled soil correspond with both higher total porosity and contribution of biological pores in the former. The first order reaction constants for the leaching of chemical compounds enables prediction of the actual compound concentration and the interactions between compound and soil as affected by management system. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of simultaneous chemical and physical analyses as a tool for the understanding of leaching in variously managed soils.

Due to complex composition of leachate, the comprehensive leachate treatment methods have been not demonstrated. Moreover, the improper management of leachate can lead to many environmental problems. The aim of this study was application of Fenton process for decreasing the major pollutants of landfill leachate on Kermanshah city. The leachate was collected from Kermanshah landfill site and treated by Fenton process. The effect of various parameters including solution pH, Fe2+and H2O2dosage, Fe2+/H2O2molar ratio, and reaction time was investigated. The result showed that with increasing Fe2+and H2O2dosage, Fe2+/H2O2molar ratio, and reaction time, the COD, TOC, TSS, and color removal increased. The maximum COD, TOC, TSS, and color removal were obtained at low pH (pH: 3). The kinetic data were analyzed in term of zero-order, first-order, and second-order expressions. First-order kinetic model described the removal of COD, TOC, TSS, and color from leachate better than two other kinetic models. In spite of extremely difficulty of leachate treatment, the previous results seem rather encouraging on the application of Fenton’s oxidation.

Abstract We evaluated a new alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) enzymic assay (ADH-glycine, Sigma Chemical Co.) for the determination of ethanol in blood. This assay differs from the manufacturer's previous assay (ADH-pyrophosphate) in that glycine replaces pyrophosphate as the buffer and hydrazine replaces semicarbazide as the trapping agent. The standard curve for the assay was linear over blood ethanol concentrations of 0.50-5.00 g/L. The reaction time of the assay was 10 min. At 1.00 g/L within-run and between-run CVs were 3.96% (n = 20) and 4.01% (n = 20), respectively. Mean analytical recovery of ethanol added to whole blood at 0.50-5.00 g/L was 99.7% (SD 2.6%). We performed 100 consecutive clinical and forensic determinations by the ADH-glycine assay, the ADH-pyrophosphate assay, and gas chromatography. Correlation coefficients of the results by least-square linear regression were 0.995 for ADH-pyrophosphate vs ADH-glycine, and 0.990 for gas chromatography vs ADH-glycine. The major advantage of the ADH-glycine assay over the ADH-pyrophosphate assay is the shorter reaction time, 10 min vs 30 min.

Abstract A rapid, reliable, and inexpensive extraction method was developed to determine acaricide residues in honey by gas chromatography (GC) with nitrogen–phosphorus (NP) or electron capture (EC) detectors. Because of the high selectivity of the NP detector, no interfering peaks were present and no cleanup was necessary. A simple cleanup step is proposed for the GC–ECD analysis. Recoveries from spiked honey samples ranged from 79 to 94.4%, with coefficients of variation of 0.3–18.5%. The quantitation limit obtained was 0.015 mg/kg for malathion, 0.020 mg/kg for coumaphos, and 0.005 mg/kg for fluvalinate. The method was used to determine the disappearance of malathion and coumaphos residues from honey samples collected from beehives treated with these acaricides. The disappearance of both acaricides was rapid and followed a first-order model for the duration of the experiment.

Abstract A procedure for the determination of combined selenium in rubber has been evolved. The rate of combination of selenium and rubber has been ascertained under certain conditions and shown to follow a first-order equation. A minimum value for the molecular weight of rubber has been estimated. The formation of hard rubber under chosen experimental conditions has been put on a mathematical basis and has been shown to follow a second-order reaction. The soft- and hard-rubber reactions have been shown qualitatively to be successive reactions and the function of accelerators has been discussed. The theory explains the anomalous results obtained by previous investigators.

Three types of wrappped nanoscale zero-valent iron (W-nZVI) with different coatings including agar, starch, and carboxyl methyl cellulose, were synthesized using a rheological phase reaction method. The structure and morphology of W-nZVI particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Batch degradation experiments exhibited that W-nZVI dosage, initial trichloroethylene (TCE) concentration and solution pH had significant effects on TCE dechlorination. Experimental results proved that the highest dechlorination efficiency was obtained within 320 minutes for 10 mg/L of TCE at the optimal pH of 5.0 and W-nZVI dosage of 0.5 g/L. Kinetic study revealed that TCE dechlorination by W-nZVI in aqueous solution obeyed the quasi-first-order reaction kinetics. The product after the reaction could be easily separated by the permanent magnet for re-use.
