During the electrolytic reduction of magnesium, it is very important to understand the mechanism of the digestion of the magnesium chloride dihydrate granules in the molten electrolyte throughout the chlorination process. This work aimed to investigate the kinetics of this digestion process. The results showed that the granules digestion is happening in two stages. The first stage is very fast, hence, results in the formation of MgOHCl during the dehydration and the hydrolysis of magnesium chloride dihydrate in the interior of the granules. The kinetic results for the first stage was best modeled using shrinking core model where the surface reaction was the rate controlling step. The second stage was best modeled as a first-order homogenous reaction. The kinetic parameters for the two stages were determined along with the Arrhenius plots. The results of this kinetics study are essential for the mathematical modeling of the chlorination process of the magnesium chloride dihydrate granules.

AbstractThe dissolution kinetics of cerussite was investigated using methanesulphonic acid (MSA) as an alternative leaching reagent. The effects of particle size, stirring speed, acid concentration, and reaction temperature on the lead dissolution rate were determined. The dissolution process followed the kinetic law of the shrinking-core model, and a corresponding mixed control model was found suitable for representing the rate-controlling step. The mixed kinetic model comprised two stages: surface chemical reaction (283 K to 303 K) and diffusion through the product layer (303 K to 323 K). The activation energies of these sequential stages were 43.20 kJ mol

ABSTRACTThe iron phosphate cement (IPC) structure formation process has been studied by Mossbauer spectroscopy. The IPC is formed as a result of interaction of iron oxides with orthophosphoric acid and could be used as a matrix for immobilization of low-level radioactive waste.The structural formation process has been shown may be considered to consist of two stages. The first stage lasts to the moment of setting, when the diffusion process goes on in the liquid phase. At this stage the main fragments of the structural polymeric frame of the IPC are developed consisting of iron (+2) and (+3) phosphates. The rate of the oxides-with-phosphoric-acid reaction as well as the time of hardening depends on the bivalent iron content.The second stage begins from the moment of setting when the diffusion becomes slower. At this stage the process is characterized by the negligible increase in the iron phosphates (+2), (+3) content and transformation of the previously formed phosphates.The nuclear gamma-resonance (NGR) parameters have been determined of FeH3(PO4)2·2.5H2O, forming in the hematite (Fe2O3) based IPC: isomeric shift (IS) = 0.46 mm/s, quadrupole splitting (QS) = 0.197 mm/s, FWHM =0.282 mm/s.

It has been studied a steam treatment process in an industrial continuous furnace for sintered iron parts in a temperature range varying from 490 to 570 °C and sample´s sintered densities of 6,52 and 6,77 g / cm3 . The tests have showed oxidation kinetics with two stages, each of them obeying a parabolic law. The first stage was faster than the second. The oxidation time when the oxidation kinetics of the first stage has changed for the second stage showed off very sensitive to the process temperature and sintered densities of the parts which are in agreement with the process rate controlling mechanism that was found to be the iron diffusion through the oxide layer.

The kinetics of extraction of dibutyl sebacinate by different grades of motor fuel from rubberised fabric based on a blend of nitrile rubbers SKN-26M and SKN-40M was investigated. The kinetics was determined according to the GOST 9.030-74 standard from the change in weight of the specimen after holding in fuel at 50°C and drying. The change in quality of the fuel after contact with the fabric was recorded from the change in the content of existent gum in fuel according to GOST 1567-97 (ISO 6246-95) and its acidity according to GOST 5985-79 before and after contact with the rubberised fabric. It was shown that the process of extraction proceeds in two stages, the time of the first of which under experimental conditions is not dependent on the type of fuel. The rate of the first stage is much higher than the rate of the second stage. The relation of rates and proportion of extracted fuel at the first and second stages depends on the type of fuel. It can be asserted that the surplus amount of extracted substances is made up of impurities, which include residual monomer or its derivatives and substances used in the synthesis of the rubber. The mechanism of extraction with extractant counterflow into the vulcanisate and its dependence on the grade of petrol is proposed, based on allowance for the diffusion processes in the system.

The kinetics of Mg2Sn synthesis reaction was studied under isothermal condition in the present paper. Results indicated that the isothermal reaction of Mg2Sn was controlled by two reactive mechanisms: the nucleation and growth control in the first stage corresponding to the Avrami exponent, m≈3, and the phase boundary control in the second stage corresponding to m≈1.1. The reactive activation energy (Ea ) for the two stages was 293.6 kJ·mol-1 and 358.1 kJ·mol-1, respectively. The microstructural evolution in Mg2Sn synthesis process was in good agreement with the two reactive mechanisms.

AbstractMonte-Carlo simulations (MCS) and the path probability method (PPM) were used to study disorder→order transformations in bcc alloys having the AB3 stoichiometry. Both methods used an explicit vacancy mechanism of ordering and an activated-state rate theory for the vacancy jumps. We studied the evolution of short-range order (SRO) as well as B2 and D03 long-range order (LRO) in alloys that began as random solid solutions. The growth rates of SRO and LRO were significantly higher for the PPM than for the MCS. We attribute this difference to improper handling of correlated vacancy motions in the PPM. The PPM also suffered from an artificial incubation time for the initiation of LRO. Both the MCS and the PPM showed that SRO has a tendency to develop in two stages. In the first stage there is a quick relaxation of the SRO by itself. In the second stage, which occurs with a longer time constant, the SRO and LRO grow simultaneously. Parametric plots of one order parameter against another, here termed “kinetic paths”, are discussed. A variety of different kinetic paths through the B2 and D03 order parameters can be predicted theoretically, depending on the choice of interatomic potentials. This range of calculated kinetic paths is broad enough to encompass our experimental results of SRO and LRO evolution in Fe3Al.

The kinetics and mechanism of metal dusting corrosion of 9Cr-1Mo steel, commonly used in CCR platforming units, have been studied as a function of temperature (773 – 1173 K) in propane-butane atmosphere, being the mixture of 70 vol. % of propane and 30 vol. % of butane with the total pressure equal 105 Pa. The kinetics of corrosion have been studied thermogravimetrically in the apparatus enabling the mass changes of corroded sample to be followed continuously with the accuracy of the order of 10-6 g. It has been found that metal dusting corrosion in this atmosphere, modeling in some way industrial environments in petrochemical industry, is complex and two-stages of linear kinetics may be distinguished. In the first stage, which may be considered as an incubation period, the reaction proceeds with rather low rate, which increases dramatically in the second stage, the beginning of which depends strongly on temperature. Linear course of reaction indicates that chemical reactions and not diffusion processes determine the rate of corrosion. This conclusion is confirmed by the fact, that the layer of corrosion products is not compact but considerably porous.

The kinetics of pyrite oxidation by hydrogen peroxide in phosphoric acid solutions were investigated. The effects of stirring, temperature, and particle size, as well as of the hydrogen peroxide and phosphoric acid concentrations were studied. The effect of phosphate ion addition was also examined. The oxidation kinetics was found to follow a shrinking core model, with the surface chemical reaciton as the rate-controlling step. This is in accord with an activation energy of 57 kJ/mol and a linear relationship between the rate constant and the reciprocal of the particle radius. The reaction order with respect to the hydrogen peroxide concentration was found to be equal to unity. Variation of the phosphoric acid concentration had practically no effect on the rate of pyrite oxidation. Addition of the phosphate ion in the relatively low concentration range (0.005.0.1 mol/dm 3) had a highly negative influence on the rate of pyrite oxidation, indicating that this ion has an inhibiting effect on the oxidation of pyrite by hydrogen peroxide.
