In the presence of an acid catalyst, PG react reversibly with acetaldehyde to form 2,4-dim-ethyl-1,3-dioxolane (24DMD). The effects of different operational parameters on PG conversion had been analyzed in paper, parameters included temperature, reaction time, amount of catalyst and aqueous acetaldehyde/PG molar ratio. Under optimal condition, 85% conversion of PG in aqueous solution was achieved within 180 min of reaction. The analysis of PG was conducted by gas chromatograph. Furthermore, reaction followed the second-order reaction kinetics, and the reaction rate constant was found to be 29.68min-1.

The alcoholysis of 1,2,2-trimethylpropyl-methylfluorophosphonate (soman) was examined with a series of alkoxides and in corresponding alcohols: methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 2-methoxyethanol and 2-ethoxyethanol. Soman reacts with the used alkoxides in a second order reaction, first order in each reactant. The kinetics of the reaction between 1,2,2-trimethylpropyl-methylfluorophosphonate and ethanol in the presence of diethylenetriamine was also examined. A third order reaction rate constant was calculated, first order in each reactant. The activation energy, frequency factor and activation entropy were determined on the basis of the kinetic data.

he photochemical reactions between 1-naphthol (1-NP) and superoxide anion radical (O2•−) were investigated in detail by using 365 nm UV irradiation. The results showed that the conversion rate of 1-naphthol decreased with the increase of the initial concentration of 1-naphthol, while the raising pH and riboflavin concentration accelerated the photochemical reaction. The second-order reaction rate constant was estimated to be (3.64 ± 0.17) × 108 L mol−1 s−1. The major photolysis products identified by using gas chromatography-mass spectrum (GC-MS) were 1, 4-naphquinone and 2, 3-epoxyresin-2, 3-dihydro-1, 4-naphquinone, and their reaction pathways were also discussed. An atmospheric model showed that both bulk water reaction and heterogeneous surface reaction deserved attentions in atmospheric aqueous chemistry.

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.

An alternative method of determining exothermic reactor model parameters which include first order reaction rate constant is described in this paper. The method is based on known in reactor temperature development and is suitable for processes with changing quality of input substances. This method allows us to evaluate the reaction substances composition change and is also capable of the reaction rate constant (parameters of the Arrhenius equation) determination. Method can be used in exothermic batch or semi- batch reactors running processes based on the first order reaction. An example of such process is given here and the problem is shown on its mathematical model with the help of simulations.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the operational parameters of the UV intensity and TiO2 dosage for the removal of humic acid and heavy metals. It also evaluated the applicability of hollow fiber microfiltration for the separation of TiO2 particles in photocatalytic microfiltration systems. TiO2 powder P-25 Degussa and hollow fiber microfiltration with a 0.4 μm nominal pore size were used for experiments. Under the conditions of pH 7 and a TiO2 dosage 0.3 g/L, the reaction rate constant (k) for humic acid and heavy metals increased with an increase of the UV intensity in each process. For the UV/TiO2/MF process, the reaction rate constant (k) for humic acid and Cu, with the exception of Cr in a low range of UV intensity, was higher compared to that of UV/TiO2 due to the adsorption of the membrane surface. The reaction rate constant (k) increased as the TiO2 dosage increased in the range of 0.1~0.3 g/L. However it decreased for a concentration over 0.3 g/L of TiO2. For the UV/TiO2/MF process, TiO2 particles could be effectively separated from treated water via membrane rejection. The average removal efficiency for humic acid and heavy metals during the operational time was over 90 %. Therefore, photocatalysis with a membrane is believed to be a viable process for humic acid and heavy metals removal.

An active dye, Methyl Orange (MO) was employed as the target pollutant to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of TiO2/schorl composite and the kinetics and thermodynamics of this process was emphasized in this work. Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetic model was employed for the kinetic studies and the results revealed that the process of MO photocatalytic discoloration by TiO2/schorl composite followed one order reaction kinetic equation under different conditions. The reaction rate constant (k) increased with initial MO concentration decreasing. When the catalyst dosage or solution pH increased,kvalues increased and then decreased. The possible reasons for these phenomena were discussed. Finally, the thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH, ΔSwere obtained by the classical Van't Hoff equation.

Developing simple and effective synthetic strategies regarding the formation of heterostructure photocatalytic semiconductors remains an intense challenge in research matters. Uniform heterostructure cobalt oxide@meso–CN@MoS2 (CoO@meso–CN@MoS2) photocatalyst exhibits excellent photocatalytic redox performance for pollutant degradation under visible light. By adjusting the weight ratio of CoO@meso–CN and MoS2, we fabricated a CoO@meso–CN@MoS2 heterostructure photocatalyst, and the established heterostructure between CoO@meso–CN and MoS2 was indicated by various physicochemical and morphological characterizations. The photocatalytic response to the fabricated hybrid was determined by rodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB), and congo red (CR) degradation in aqueous solution under visible light, and the nanocomposites with a slight content consisting of CoO@meso–CN achieved better catalysis than pure MoS2. This finding confirmed the propriety of this heterostructure as a valuable photocatalyst. The experimental results demonstrated that the apparent reaction rate constant of the 3 wt% CoO@meso–CN modified MoS2 was about two times higher than that of pure MoS2. The present work serves as a new approach for designing highly efficient visible light-induced heterostructure-based photocatalysts for environmental applications in the future.

Waste cooking oil (WCO) have a great potential as an alternative raw material for producing biodiesel. The literatures kinetic of the esterification of WCO in the presence of phosphoric acid catalyst with ultrasonic assisted are rare and most literatures used conventional method. This study aims to determine the optimum condition and the parameters of first and second order kinetics of the WCO esterification which was assisted by ultrasonic bath. Variables that used in this study are methanol/oil mole ratio, acid catalyst concentration and reaction temperature. The highest conversion was 42.08% with methanol/oil mole ratio of 15:1, a catalyst (phosphoric acid) concentration of 9% wt and temperature of 50oC within 90 minutes. The reaction time was reduced to 3 times (minute) compare to conventional method and fatty acid reduced 42%. Kinetic parameters were calculated with assumption that the esterification was the irreversible reaction. The reaction rate constant increasing with temperature. The value of activation energy for esterification of WCO is 42.94 kJ/mol for first order reaction and 35.30 kJ/mol for second order reaction.
