TiO2/(O′+β′)-Sialon multiphase ceramics with different phase composition of TiO2 were prepared by pressureless sintering under high-purity N2 atmosphere with (O′+β′)-Sialon powder and nano TiO2 (anatase) powder as raw materials, Yb2O3 or Tb2O3 as additive. For each sample, the weight percentage of anatase in TiO2 was calculated from XRD data and the kinetics of anatase-rutile transformation was investigated, wherein the emphasis was placed on the influence of Yb2O3 and Tb2O3. The results indicate that the added Tb2O3 and Yb2O3 serve the significant function of inhibition and promotion on the phase transformation, and the effects are enhanced and attenuated with increasing additive content, respectively. For the sample without additive, the transformation process follows apparent first-order kinetic model. The addition of Yb2O3 or Tb2O3 results in completely different transformation kinetic law. For the samples with Yb2O3 added, the transformation is an apparent second-order reaction, whereas a unique kinetic model, CA=kt1/2+C, is valid for the samples containing Tb2O3. In the two cases, the effect of the additive content on the transformation can be perfectly reflected by the apparent rate constant.

The mineralisation kinetics of petroleum refinery effluent (PRE) by Fenton oxidation were evaluated. Within the ambit of the experimental data generated, first-order kinetic model (FKM), generalised lumped kinetic model (GLKM), and generalized kinetic model (GKM) were tested. The obtained apparent kinetic rate constants for the initial oxidation step (k2′), their final oxidation step (k1′), and the direct conversion to endproducts step (k3′) were 10.12, 3.78, and 0.24 min−1for GKM; 0.98, 0.98, and nil min−1for GLKM; and nil, nil, and >0.005 min−1for FKM. The findings showed that GKM is superior in estimating the mineralization kinetics.

Abstract The kinetics of esterification reaction between acetic acid and methanol was studied with the Indion 180 catalyst in the temperature range between 323.15 and 353.15K, and the catalyst loading between 0.01 g/cc to0.05 g/cc. The effects of temperature, catalyst loading, size of the catalyst and agitation speed on the reaction rate were investigated. The experimental results have shown the negligible effect of mass transfer resistances on the reaction rate. A second order kinetic rate expression was used to correlate the experimental data. An activity based kinetic model was also developed for the esterification process, which was validated against experimental results. The activity based model is found advantageous as it involves only two reaction rate parameters which were determined based on the kinetic rate parameters of the concentration based model. The comparison of the model predictions with the experimental results for different temperature and catalyst loading conditions has shown the better suitability of the activity based kinetic model for the esterification process with Indion 180 catalyst.

In this paper, photocatalytic degradation processes of different materials are fitted to the first-order kinetic model, second-order kinetic model and fractional first-order kinetic model. Deterministic coefficients are calculated for the evaluation of the validity of these models. The fitting results show clearly that the degradation process can fit the fractional first-order kinetic model in a very good manner. In this way, two material parameters can be well defined. One is the degradation time, which can be used to describe the photocatalytic degradation process quantitatively. Another is the order of the derivative, which could be related to the material’s microstructure.

In this study, reductive dechlorination of DDT compounds by zero-valent iron in Jiangxi red soil was investigated. DDT compounds were effectively dechlorinated by zero-valent iron. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model for 2,4¢-DDT and 4,4¢-DDT reduction with zero-valent iron was proposed. The reaction rate constants for 2,4¢-DDT and 4,4¢-DDT were 1.19´10-2(min-1) and 1.44´10-2(min-1), respectively. The dechlorination of 2,4¢-DDT and 4,4¢-DDT were mainly affected by the specific surface area of iron. The data from the variable-pH experiments (between 3.6 and 8.8) suggested that pH does not play a role in the rate-determination step.

This study examines the removal of p-CBA via the application of heterogeneous catalytic ozonation in the presence of 13 minerals. The solids were used as raw materials or after hydrophilic/hydrophobic modification. The optimal minerals were zeolite, calcite, dolomite, and thermally treated talc. The kinetic study showed that the decomposition of ozone followed a first-order kinetic model for all ozonation systems, whereas the kinetic model of p-CBA removal depended on the materials that were applied. The catalytic degradation of p-CBA followed a second-order kinetic model, while in the presence of non-catalytic materials; the p-CBA abatement was in best agreement with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, as single ozonation.

ABSTRACTThe microstructure and kinetics of the polymorphic C49 to C54-TiSi2 phase transformation have been studied using samples prepared as in self-aligned silicide applications. For C49-TiSi2 thin films formed at temperatures of 600°C and 625°C on (100) single-crystal silicon substrates, the effective activation energy was 5.6 ± 0.3 and 5.7 ± 0.08 eV, respectively, for this phase transformation carried out in the temperature range of 600°C to 700°C. The transformation process was observed to occur by nucleation and growth of the orthorhombic face-centered (C54) phase from the as-formed orthorhombic base-centered (C49) phase.

Abstract This study investigated effects of pretreatments on rehydration characteristics of solar-dried carrot slices. Blanching at 55, 65 and 75°C for 45 minutes and osmotic dewatering in 5%, 10% and 15% salt solutions for 5 h were used as pretreatments. Rehydration capacity of the dried carrots was determined by soaking 20 g sample in hot water at 95°C for 10 min and rehydration kinetics was carried out by soaking 5 g samples at 75, 85 and 95°C. All the treatment conditions separately and in combination influenced the rehydration characteristics of the carrot slices. High values of rehydration capacity and low lixiviated soluble solids, which indicates better quality, were obtained for samples treated at the lower blanching temperature. Similarly the lower salt concentration resulted in higher rehydration capacity and lower lixiviated soluble solids. The interaction of the lower level of both pretreatments produced higher rehydration capacity and lower soluble solid losses. A first-order kinetic model was used to describe the rehydration kinetics. A better rehydration performance was observed for the samples subjected to the lower levels of pretreatments and rehydration conditions.
