The most common cause of diseases in swimming pools is the lack of sanitary control of water quality; water may contain microbiological and chemical contaminants. Among the people most at risk of infection are children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised people. The origin of the problem is a need to develop a system that can predict the formation of chlorine water disinfection by-products, such as trihalomethanes (THMs). THMs are volatile organic compounds from the group of alkyl halides, carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and bioaccumulating. Long-term exposure, even to low concentrations of THM in water and air, may result in damage to the liver, kidneys, thyroid gland, or nervous system. This article focuses on analysis of the kinetics of swimming pool water reaction in analytical device reproducing its circulation on a small scale. The designed and constructed analytical device is based on the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC driver of SIEMENS Company. The HMI KPT panel of SIEMENS Company enables monitoring the process and control individual elements of device. Value of the reaction rate constant of free chlorine decomposition gives us qualitative information about water quality, it is also strictly connected to the kinetics of the reaction. Based on the experiment results, the value of reaction rate constant was determined as a linear change of the natural logarithm of free chlorine concentration over time. The experimental value of activation energy based on the directional coefficient is equal to 76.0 [kJ×mol−1]. These results indicate that changing water temperature does not cause any changes in the reaction rate, while it still affects the value of the reaction rate constant. Using the analytical device, it is possible to constantly monitor the values of reaction rate constant and activation energy, which can be used to develop a new way to assess pool water quality.

In order to study the kinetics and mechanism of the reaction, laboratory leaching was carried out with industrially produced gibbsite ?-Al(OH)3 in aqueous solutions containing an excess of sodium hydroxide. The results obtained reaction temperature, duration and base concentration varied. The basic kinetic parameters were determined from: the reaction rate constant k=8.72?107 exp (-74990/RT) and the process activation energy in the range Ea=72.5-96.81 kJ/mol.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of NaOH concentration and temperature used for cellulose extraction from sweet-bamboo leaves on the kinetics of the extraction reaction. The NaOH concentration and the temperature used for the extraction were varied and their effect was examined. It was found that the extraction rate was accelerated by either the increase of NaOH concentration or extraction temperature. The NaOH concentration affected the reaction rate constant, k, and the activation energy, E and the order of the reaction, n. Increase of NaOH concentration enhanced the reaction to move forwards, thus reducing the k and E values of the reaction and the order of the reaction, n, was changed. The correlation of the temperature and the NaOH concentration with the k value showed that at the lower NaOH concentration, the temperature influenced on the k value more significantly. The influence of the NaOH concentration on the k value was lessened with increase of the extraction temperature.

The increased demand for advanced techniques in anaerobic digestion over the last few years has led to the employment of various pre-treatment methods prior to anaerobic digestion to increase gas production. These pre-treatment methods alter the physical and chemical properties of sludge in order to make it more readily degradable by anaerobic digestion. Although the thermal pre-treatment presents high energy consumption, the main part of this energy to heat can be recovered from the biogas produced in the anaerobic process. In this research a mixture of primary and waste activated sludge was thermally pretreated at 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 oC in order to determine the reaction kinetics for the increase of soluble organic fraction (expressed as CODs and VFAs). Experimental results proved that the solubilization of sludge is a 1st order reaction with respect to both CODs and VFAs, KCODs (reaction rate constant of CODs solubilization) increased from 4.59*10-3 (min-1) to 7.55*10-3 (min-1) as the temperature increased from 100 to 200 oC, with a reaction activation energy of 7447.21 (J/mole) and frequency factor of 0.051 (min-1), While KVFAs (reaction rate constant of VFAs solubilization) increased from 5.33*10-3 (min-1) to 7.97*10-3 (min-1) for the same increase in temperature, with a reaction activation energy of 5947.22 (J/mole) and frequency factor of 0.0364 (min-1).

The crystallization kinetics of calcium oxalate (CaOx) was comparatively studied by detecting the change of free Ca2+ ions concentration with the reaction time in artificial urine and in saline system. The dynamics equations of CaOx crystallization was r=kcα, and the average reaction order (α) was 3.3 regardless of the relative suprasaturation degree (RS) of CaOx in the range of RS=10.58~17.53. The average reaction rate constant (κ) was (0.97±0.1)×109 in artificial urine and κ=(3.1±1.8)×109 in saline system, due to the presence of inhibitors to CaOx crystallization in artificial urine.

This study examined the effect of ingredients mixing sequence to the vulcanization kinetics of natural rubber. The effects of mixing temperature, vulcanization temperature, and the carbon black type upon the kinetics were also studied by using rheography and an autocatalysis reaction model approach. The results showed that this model is good in providing information on vulcanization reaction kinetics of natural rubber. High vulcanization temperature resulted in high reaction rate constant. The more black carbon mixed at the beginning of the rubber mixing process, the higher reaction rate constant would be. The mixing of carbon black and rubber chemicals mixed into the rubber subsequently resulted in the higher reaction rate constant compared with that of simultaneously.

The kinetics of heterogeneous methanolysis of sunflower oil was studied at 60?C using mechanochemically synthesized CaO?ZnO as catalyst. Influence of agitation speed, catalyst amount and methanol to oil molar ratio on the rate of reaction was analyzed. The rate of the process depends on the two resistances - mass transfer of triglycerides to the catalyst surface and chemical reaction on the catalyst surface, which are defined as the values of the overall triglyceride volumetric mass transfer coefficient, kmt,TG, and the effective pseudo first-order reaction rate constant, k, respectively. These kinetic parameters actually determine the value of the apparent reaction rate constant, kapp, whose change with time is defined with the change of triglyceride (TG) conversion. The kinetic model was proposed and the model parameters determined.

The base-catalyzed methanolysis of roadside pennycress, olive, melon, grapeseed, hempseed, sunflower, and plum kernel oils was performed in the presence of KOH (1% to the oil weight) at the temperature of 60° C and the methanol/oil molar ratio of 6:1. The aim of this work was to reveal the influence of the fatty acid composition of the oils on the kinetics of these methanolysis reactions. The irreversible pseudo-first-order reaction was used for modeling the kinetics of the methanolysis reactions, and the reaction rate constant was correlated with the content of unsaturated fatty acids in the oil. The value of the reaction rate constant increases linearly with increasing the unsaturated fatty acids content in the oil. The applicability and reliability of the model were confirmed by high values of the coefficient of determination and low values of the mean relative percentage deviation between the calculated and experimental triacylglycerols conversion degree.

The rate of reaction of methyl iodide with sulfite ion is determined. In addition, the rate of reaction of methyl iodide with thiosulfate ion is reexamined and the rate of reaction of methyl iodide with bisulfite ion is estimated. A pronounced effect of ionic strength on the reaction rate in the methyl iodide – sulfite ion system is observed, this effect does not occur in the methyl iodide – thiosulfate ion system. The second order reaction rate constant and activation energy for the reaction of methyl iodide with the respective nucleophiles are: SO32−, 4.4 × 10−2M−1 s−1, 18.6 kcal mole−1; HSO3−, 1 × 10−3M−1 s−1, 18.4 kcal mole−1; and S2O32− 3.1 × 10−2M−1 s−1, 19.4 kcal mole−1.
