In this study, charred cacao shells were tested for their capability as bioadsorbent for aqueous potassium permanganate. Optimization of adsorption parameters showed that the best amount of adsorbent is 0.5% w of cacao biochar/v of 0.005 N aqueous KMnO4 with a removal efficiency of 98.79%, and the optimum particle size is 212 mm, with a corresponding removal efficiency of 99.76%. Kinetics studies showed that the adsorption fits a pseudo-first order reaction with R2 = 0.9833. Lastly, the adsorption data fits the Elovich isotherm with R2 = 0.9712, which strongly suggests a multi-layer chemisorption on a heterogenous surface. Conclusively, the charred cacao shells were found to be effective as an adsorbent of aqueous potassium permanganate. Furthermore, the resulting product of adsorption can be used to study adsorption of other substances due to its multi-layer nature.

Ongoing industrialization has deteriorated the global environment. Global warming is a human-induced issue affecting the environment. The alarming increase in CO2 emissions is among the major contributors to global warming. The conversion of CO2 to methanol is an economically viable and environmentally friendly solution to mitigate its concentration. Here, hydrogenation of CO2 was studied over carbon nanofiber-based Cu/ZrO2 catalysts. Kinetics investigations were carried out for the reaction. Overall, kinetics data indicated that CO2 conversion follows a pseudo-first-order reaction. The kinetics studies were further modeled by using an artificial neural network, which supported the experimental kinetics study.

The progressive inhibition of plasmin by pancreatic trypsin inhibitor and by alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor in the presence of D-valyl-L-leucyl-L-lysine 4-nitroanilide was investigated. The kinetics with plasmin were compared with those with miniplasmin. The kinetic properties of two functionally different forms of alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor described by Clemmensen [(1979) in The Physiological Inhibitors of Coagulation and Fibrinolysis (Collen. D., Wiman, B & Verstraete, M., eds.), pp 131-136, Elsevier, Amsterdam] were characterized. The two forms differ in their plasminogen-binding capability, and this difference can account for a difference in secondary site interaction suggested from the kinetics. The binding of inhibitor to miniplasmin is a simple pseudo-first-order reaction with both pancreatic trypsin inhibitor and the two alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor forms. Such simple kinetics are also observed for the reaction between plasmin and the non-plasminogen-binding form of alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor. More complicated kinetics are obtained for the reaction between plasmin and the alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor form that binds to plasminogen. With both forms of the alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor, a complex stable to acetic acid/urea and gel electrophoresis is present and fully developed 15 s after initiation of the reaction with plasmin.

Cyclic voltammetry was used to examine the kinetics of degradation of ascorbic acid (AA) at different temperatures. It has been shown that the reduction of the concentration of AA in all temperatures follow the kinetics of the first order reaction. The rate constant of the oxidation reaction increases with temperature as follows: 5x10-5; 2x10-4; 1x10-3 and 3x10-3 min-1 at temperatures of 25?C, 35?C, 65?C and 90?C, respectively. The temperature dependence of the rate constant follows Arrhenius equation, and the value of activation energy of the reaction degradation is 48.2 kJ mol-1 . The effect of storage time at a temperature of 90 ?C on AA content in fresh juice of green peppers was investigated. It was shown that AA oxidation reaction in the juice is also the first order reaction, while the lower rate constant in relation to the pure AA (5x10-3 min-1) indicates the influence of other substances present in peppers.

Abstract A system of zerovalent iron combined with potassium permanganate and ferrous irons (Fe(II)-KMnO4-ZVI) was used to remove As(III), one of the most poisonous wastewater pollutants. The Fe(II)-KMnO4-ZVI system was characterized by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The As(III) removal efficiency by the Fe(II)-KMnO4-ZVI system under different conditions was investigated and the experimental data were fitted to adsorption kinetics and isotherm models. As(III) could be removed by both physisorption and chemisorption through mixing adsorbents in a very short time (minute scale) with high removal ratios (more than 99.5%) over a wide range of pH (1–9) and concentration (20–100 mg/L). The removal of As(III) by the Fe(II)-KMnO4-ZVI system agreed well with pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics and pseudo-second-order reaction kinetics. The Freundlich isotherm provided a good model of the adsorption system, indicating that the Fe(II)-KMnO4-ZVI system has heterogeneous structure. The results show that the Fe(II)-KMnO4-ZVI system exhibited a high removal efficiency for As(III), which suggested that it might be an effective material for As(III) remediation.

Using a fluidized bed reactor, experiments on glucose decomposition with and without sulfate reduction were conducted. Glucose in the reactor was mainly decomposed into lactate and ethanol. Lactate was mainly decomposed into propionate and acetate, while ethanol was decomposed into propionate, acetate, and hydrogen. Sulfate reduction was not involved in the decomposition of glucose, lactate, and ethanol, but was related to propionate and acetate decomposition. The stepwise reactions were modeled using either a Monod expression or first order reaction kinetics in respect to the reactions. The coefficients of the kinetic equations were determined experimentally. The modified Monod and first order reaction equations were effective at predicting concentrations of glucose, lactate, ethanol, propionate, acetate, and sulfate along the beight of the reactor. With sulfate reduction, propionate was decomposed into acetate, while without sulfate reduction, accumulation of propionate was observed in the reactor. Sulfate reduction accelerated propionate conversion into acetate by decreasing the hydrogen concentration.

The kinetics of oxidation of arsenic(III) by hexachloroiridate(IV) at lower acid concentrations and at constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm-3 have been investigated spectrophotometrically. A first-order reaction in [IrCl62-] and fractional order with respect to arsenic(III) have been observed. A kinetic evidence for the formation of an intermediate complex between the hydrolyzed arsenic(III) species and the oxidant was presented. The results showed that decreasing the [H+] is accompanied by an appreciable acceleration of the rate of oxidation. The activation parameters have been evaluated and a mechanism consistent with the kinetic results was suggested.

This work deals with the treatment of the wastewaters resulting from the process of dyeing flowers. In some local cases for growing flowers near to Medellín (Colombia), wastewater color was found to be one of the main problems in meeting local effluent standards. Wastewaters were treated by photodegradation process (which includes photocatalysis) to achieve the degradation of dyes mixture and organic matter in the wastewater. A multifactorial experimental design was proposed, including as experimental factors the following variables: pH, and the concentration of both catalyst (TiO2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). According to the obtained results, at the optimized variables values, it is possible to reach a 99% reduction of dyes, a 76.9% of mineralization (TOC) and a final biodegradability of 0.834. Kinetic analysis allows proposing a pseudo first order reaction for the reduction, the mineralization, and the biodegradation processes.

The reaction of bacteriophage T4 with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene resulted in a covalent binding of 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) determinants to the phage. From the kinetics of inactivation reflecting the coupling process it is concluded that attachment of more than one DNP group to the critical site(s) of the phage is required for inactivation (multi-hit reaction). Contrary to this the neutralization of DNP-T4 by anti-DNP antibody turned out to be a first order reaction, until 80 %> neutralization fitting one-hit kinetics. If compared with native T4, the susceptibility of DNP-T4 to neutralization by anti-T4 antibody is considerably higher, indicating that attachment of DNP groups to T4 amplifies the sensitivity to neutralization by anti-T4. Comparing neutralization kinetics of DNP-T4 and native T4 by anti-DNP-T4 antibody it is suggested that native determinants and DNP groups, as well as determinants resulting from alteration due to the coupling process, all together may contribute as targets for neutralization. Three characteristics strengthen the view that the velocity of T4 conjugates in infecting the host strain is markedly decreased if compared with that of native T4: (a) considerable discrepancy between direct plating and decision technique (b) increasing variety of plaque size and (c) decreased velocity of the first step of reproduction. The kinetics of neutralization observed can be reconciled with a model proposed by Krummel and Uhr. The kinetics of reactivation of neutralized DNP-T4 by the presence cf DNP-BSA has been investigated and the problems involved in the reaction are discussed.

High Consumption of paper, bring the impact of the waste paper itself. And the utilization of the paper is limited to recycled products and crafts, whereas paper such as newspaper still contains cellulose that can be potential to be used as a heavy metal adsorbent. In this study, newspaper was dissolved in sodium bicarbonate to reduce various impurities and then was reacted with citric acid (CA). The modified adsorbent was characterized by FTIR and was tested for adsorb Cu(II) in artificial solution. After adsorption process, the solution was filtered and analysed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The adsorption experimental data was fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich for equilibrium model and was fitted to pseudo first order reaction and pseudo second order reaction for kinetic studies. The result showed that CA-modification newspaper able to remove heavy metals Cu(II) in solution.
