This article is devoted to modeling the kinetics of colloidal crystallization of cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanoparticles (NPs). The kinetic equation is modified, considering the contributions of the reaction rate constants of individual stages. It includes the reaction rate constants, thermodynamic and calculated parameters, and physical properties. There is used modified kinetic model based on the crystallization equation. There are considered the contributions of adsorption, desorption, and migration of nucleated particles at different times. Modified model assumes that, upon crystallization of NPs CdSe, monomer units depend on the frequency of attachment and detachment transitions of the monomer–CdSe complex. In this case, the transformation of the precursor into a monomer, the formation of an effective monomer and nucleation pass into the growth stage of (NC CdSe) nanocrystals with a seeded mass. In the process, the resulting nanocluster will continue to grow due to early maturation, aging, and subsequent growth into larger NC CdSe. The Kinetic Monte Carlo method (KMC) is used to approximate the model of the nucleation–growth of NC considering different contributions to the reaction rate constants. The modified model with the use of KMC allows to describe the dependences of the kinetic rate constants on the average radius of nanoparticles as a function of time, concentration, and distribution of NC CdSe at a given time. There are described conditions for the formation of NPs CdSe with an evolutionary distribution function of NC CdSe in size space. The results of modeling the kinetics of colloidal crystallization of CdSe can be used to control nucleation rate and growth of NPs CdSe, as well as similar systems in the formation of high-quality NC.

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.

AbstractPhycocyanin is a natural substance that can be used as an antioxidant and food colorant. The quality of phycocyanin deteriorates when it is exposed to heat, and such deterioration is evidenced by decreases in its antioxidant activity and color. Encapsulation, which introduces a coating material over a substance of interest, has been applied to prevent changes in substance quality. The objective of the present research is to evaluate the kinetics of thermal degradation of phycocyanin coated with carrageenan or chitosan. Encapsulated phycocyanin samples were exposed to temperatures of 40, 50, or 60 °C for 90 min, and kinetics of the resulting degradation was evaluated to determine changes in sample quality. The results showed that the thermal degradation of encapsulated phycocyanin at 40–60 °C follows first-order reaction kinetics with reaction rate constants (k) of 4.67–9.17 × 10–5 s-1 and 3.83–7.67 × 10–5 s-1 for carrageenan and chitosan, respectively, and that the k of encapsulated phycocyanin is slower than that obtained from samples without the coating materials (control). Encapsulation efficiencies (EE) of 68.66 % and 76.45 %, as well as loading capacities of 45.28 % and 49.16 %, were, respectively, obtained for carrageenan and chitosan.

AbstractDissolution kinetics of sepiolite from Eskisehir (Turkey) have been investigated at various temperatures and particle sizes using dilute hydrochloric and nitric acids. Dissolution reaction rate constants were calculated and apparent activation energies were dependent on acid concentration. For both acids, apparent activation energy values reached a minimum of ∼11 kcal/mol at an acid concentration of 0·75 M. For the second-order reaction which is independent of the acid concentration, the activation energy was 14·5 kcal/mol for both acids. The reaction rate constants were proportional to the acid concentrations, and inversely proportional to the square-root of the initial particle radii of the sepiolite.

The kinetics of the aquation reaction of the [VO(ida)(bipy)]·2H2O (VO(ida)(bipy)) complex (where ida = iminodiacetate anion and bipy = 2,2’-bipyridine) promoted by [Fe(H2O)6]3+ ions were investigated in aqueous solutions. Spectrophotometric studies were carried out at different temperatures in the range of 293.15–313.15 K. The concentration of the [Fe(H2O)6]3+ (Fe3+) ions was kept within the range of 2 × 10–4 to 8 × 10–4 mol L–1, and the concentration of VO(ida)(bipy) was 1 × 10–3 mol L–1. The values of the observable reaction rate constants were calculated based on the Glint computer program. Furthermore, the mechanism for the aquation of VO(ida)(bipy), induced by Fe(III) ions, has been proposed.

A study on bulk polymerization kinetics of HTPB (Hydroxy Terminated Polybutadiene) and TDI (Toluene Diisocyanate) with infrared (IR) spectroscopy has been conducted. The investigations included the molar ratio of 2,4-TDI to 2,6-TDI isomers, the initial molar ratio of isocyanate group to a hydroxyl group, and the reaction temperature. The polymerization rate constant was calculated based on the decrease rate of TDI. Kinetics model had been evaluated through the following reaction steps: (1) 2,4-urethane production, (2) 2,6-urethane production, (3) the reaction between 2,4-urethane and the isocyanate group of 2,4-TDI, (4) the reaction between 2,4-urethane and the isocyanate group of 2,4-TDI, (5) the reaction between 2,6-urethane and isocyanate group of 2,4-TDI, and (6) the reaction between 2,6-urethane and the isocyanate group of 2,6-TDI. Those reaction steps were assumed to be the first order reaction with the reaction rate constants k1, k2, k3, k4, k5, and k6, respectively. The reaction rate constants obtained at molar ratio of 2,4-TDI to 2,6-TDI of 80:20, isocyanate group to hydroxyl group (RNCO/OH) initial molar ratio of 1:1, and reaction temperature of 40 °C were 6.2 × 10-5, 5.8 × 10-5, 3.1 × 10-5, 2.8 × 10-5, and 2.5 × 10-5 L.mole-1.min-1 for k1, k2, k3, k4, k5, and k6, respectively, with the activation energy of 1152, 952, 1001, 656, and 1001 kJ/mole for reaction (1)–(6), respectively. The results show that the polymerization reaction rate-determining step was the reaction of 2,6-urethane and isocyanate group of 2,6-TDI (reaction (6)).
