Novel analytical methods for quantitive determination of analytes based on perturbations of oscillatory chemical reactions realized under open reactor conditions (continuosly fed well stirred tank reactor, CSTR), have been developed in the past twenty years. The proposed kinetic methods are generally based on the ability of the analyzed substances to change the kinetics of the chemical reactions matrix. The unambiguous correlation of quantitative characteristics of perturbations, and the amount (concentration) of analyte expressed as a regression equation, or its graphics (calibration curve), enable the determination of the unknown analyte concentration. Attention is given to the development of these methods because of their simple experimental procedures, broad range of linear regression ( 10-7 10-4 mol L-1) and low limits of detection of analytes ( 10-6 10-8 mol L1, in some cases even lower than 10-12 mol L-1). Therefore, their application is very convenient for routine analysis of various inorganic and organic compounds as well as gases. This review summarizes progress made in the past 5 years on quantitative determination of pharmaceutically and biologically important compounds.

The effect of hydrogenation conditions on rate of hydrogenation of rape seed oil was studied in a laboratory stirred tank reactor of 250 ml volume, with nickel on kieselguhr catalyst within the range of conditions (150 ⪬ t(°C) ⪬ 190), (0.1 ⪬ P(MPa) ⪬ 1.0), and (0.01 ⪬ cNi(%) ⪬ 0.37). On the basis of these results a comparison of the effect of a Venturi tube and single pipe gas inlet as gas distributors on hydrogenation rate was made in a bench scale unit of 5 l volume.

This paper summarizes the progress made in the quest to establish a Cybersickness Dose Value (CSDV). The Motion Sickness Dose Value (MSDV), reported in the British Standard BS6841, has been used to predict the severity of seasickness since 1987. In 1999, the authors of this paper proposed a CSDV formulation with a structure similar to that of the MSDV (So, 1999). Since then, several experiments and simulation studies have been conducted to modify and develop the proposed CSDV formula. In particular, progress has been made in (i) the methods to measure CSDV, (ii) the determination of a frequency weighting curve to equalize the non-linear relationship between the navigation velocity and levels of cybersickness, and (iii) the detailed formulation of CSDV. This paper summarizes the past progress and reports on the current effort in developing a CSDV.

Liquid 1,2-dichloroethane has been chlorinated by dissolved chlorine to a succession of chloroethanes up to the ultimate hexachloroethane. The results of both batch and continuous stirred tank reactor systems have been analysed by computer techniques to give a set of relative rate constants from which one can predict the product composition for a given chlorine uptake, the aim in this work being to optimize the production of tetrachloroethanes. An unusual feature of the kinetics is that 1,1,1,2- and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethanes provide alternative pathways between 1,1,2-trichloroethane and pentachloroethane.
