The selective conversion of phenolic materials is a well-adopted solution to upgrade lignin-based bioresources into high-value bio-oil in biomass refinery industries. This study focused on four main aspects: characterization, selection of catalysts, reaction dynamics behaviors, and mathematical modelling. A model lignin, that is, phenol, was selectively transformed into cyclohexanol by using the prepared Ni–xCo/γ-Al2O3 catalysts in a subcritical water medium. The hydrogenation results showed that when using 15 wt% of Ni–3Co/γ-Al2O3 particles, both total mole yield and selectivity of cyclohexanol could reach approximately 80%, which further indicated that the particles are suitable for catalytic hydrogenation of phenol in subcritical water. Moreover, a reaction kinetics model was developed by chemical reaction kinetics and least squares regression analysis, the robustness and predictability of which were also verified.

Earlier stochastic analyses of chemical reactions have provided formal solutions which are unsuitable for most purposes in that they are expressed in terms of complex algebraic functions. Normal approximations are derived here for solutions to a variety of reactions. Using these, it is possible to investigate the level at which the classical deterministic solutions become inadequate. This is important in fields such as radioimmunoassay.

A mathematical model describing facilitation of O2 diffusion by the diffusion of myoglobin and hemoglobin is presented. The equations are solved numerically by a finite-difference method for the conditions as they prevail in cardiac and skeletal muscle and in red cells without major simplifications. It is demonstrated that, in the range of intracellular diffusion distances, the degree of facilitation is limited by the rate of the chemical reaction between myglobin or hemoglobin and O2. The results are presented in the form of relationships between the degree of facilitation and the length of the diffusion path on the basis of the known kinetics of the oxygenation-deoxygenation reactions. It is concluded that the limitation by reaction kinetics reduces the maximally possible facilitated oxygen diffusion in cardiomyoctes by ∼50% and in skeletal muscle fibers by ∼ 20%. For human red blood cells, a reduction of facilitated O2 diffusion by 36% is obtained in agreement with previous reports. This indicates that, especially in cardiomyocytes and red cells, chemical equilibrium between myoglobin or hemoglobin and O2 is far from being established, an assumption that previously has often been made. Although the “O2 transport function” of myoglobin in cardiac muscle cells thus is severely limited by the chemical reaction kinetics, and to a lesser extent also in skeletal muscle, it is noteworthy that the speed of release of O2 from MbO2, the “storage function,” is not limited by the reaction kinetics under physiological conditions.
