Kinetics of CO methanation on a commercial Ni/SiO2 catalyst was evaluated at atmospheric pressure, between 528 and 550 K and for hydrogen to carbon monoxide molar ratios ranging from 3 : 1 to 200 : 1. The effect of reaction products on the reaction rate was also examined. Below 550 K, only methane was selectively formed. Above this temperature, the formation of carbon dioxide was also observed. The experimental data could be described by two modified Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic models, based on hydrogenation of surface CO by molecularly or by dissociatively adsorbed hydrogen in the rate-determining step. Water reversibly lowered catalyst activity and its effect was more pronounced at higher temperature.

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.

Isobutene reacts readily with excess trifluoroacetic acid in ethylene dichloride solution at ordinary temperatures to give t-butyl trifluoroacetate. The rate of the reaction is given, within the range of the experiments, by the expression d[ester]/dt = k[acid]2[olefin], and the apparent activation energy is about 6 kcal/mole. The rate of addition is markedly dependent on the strength of the reacting acid and is drastically reduced in the presence of mildly basic materials, such as dioxane. The boron fluoride catalyzed addition of acetic acid to 2-butene can be considered to follow a similar rate law, i.e. d[ester]/dt = k[acid·BF3]2[olefin], but only if some assumptions are made about the position of the equilibrium [Formula: see text]since only the 1:1 complex is reactive.

The kinetics and mechanism of D2 exchange catalyzed by RhCl(PPh3)3 have been studied in chloroform–ethanol solutions. Interpretation of the results was complicated by a side reaction of the solvent to yield HCl, RhHCl2(PPh3)2, C2H5Cl, CH2Cl2, Ph3PO, and other phosphorus(V) species. Computer simulation of the exchange reaction was used to show that the observed inverse isotope effect [Formula: see text] could arise only if the rate determining step was the activation of D2, HD, and H2 by RhCl(PPh3)3.The D2 exchange reaction rate was extremely dependent on solvent composition and decreased 30 times between 6 and 96 mol% C2H5OH. The activation energy for D2 exchange was 101 ± 9 kJ mol−1 at 58 mol% C2H5OH, and 86 ± 8 kJ mol−1 at 6 mol% C2H5OH. These data suggested that solvent–catalyst bonding interactions were important.

Abstract The kinetics of the thermal substitution of norbornadiene (nbd) by 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-bipy) in (CO)4Mo(C7H9) was studied by quantitative FT-IR and UV-VIS spectroscopy. The reaction rate exhibits first-order dependence on the concentration of the starting complex, and the observed rate constant depends on the concentration of both leaving nbd and entering 2,2'-bipy ligand. The mechanism was found to be consistent with the previously proposed one, where the rate determining step is the cleavage of one of the two Mo-olefin bonds. The reaction was performed at four different temperatures (35 -50 °C) and the evaluation of the kinetic data gives the activation parameters which now support states.

The kinetics of addition of a number of ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted benzylamines to β-nitrostyrene (NS) in acetonitrile have been studied. The reaction is first order with respect to NS. The order with respect to the amine is higher than one. It has been shown that the reaction follows two mechanistic pathways, uncatalyzed and catalyzed by the amine. The Arrhenius activation energy for the catalyzed path is negative, indicating the presence of a pre-equilibrium (k1, k−1) leading to the formation of a zwitterion. The values of the rate constant, k1, for the nucleophilic attack have been determined for 28 benzylamines. The rate constant k1 was subjected to correlation analysis using Charton's LDR and LDRS equations. The polar regression coefficients are negative, indicating the formation of a cationic species in the transition state. The reaction is subject to steric hindrance by ortho substituents. Key words: nucleophilic addition, benzylamines, correlation analysis, kinetics, alkene.

Hydrogen sulfide is an important acid rain precursor and this led us to investigate the kinetics of its oxidation in aqueous phase by atmospheric oxygen. The kinetics was followed by measuring the depletion of oxygen in a reactor. The reaction was studied under pseudo order conditions with [H2S] in excess. The kinetics followed the rate law: -d[O2]/dt = k[S][O2]t (A) Where [S] represents the total concentration of hydrogen sulfide, [O2]t is the concentration of oxygen at time t and k is the second order rate constant. The equilibria (B - C) govern the dissolution of H2S; the sulfide ion in water forms different species: H2S K1 HS- + H+ (B) HS- K2 S2- + H+ (C) Where K1 and K2 are first and second dissociation constants of H2S. Although, H2S is present as undissociated H2S, HS- and S2- ions, nature of [H+ ] dependence of reaction rate required only HS- to be reactive and dominant. The rate law (A) on including [H+ ] dependence became Equation (D). -d[O2]/dt = k1K1[H+ ][S][O2]t / ([H+ ] 2 + K1[H+ ] + K1K2) (D) Our results indicate anthropogenic VOCs such as acetanilide, benzene, ethanol, aniline, toluene, benzamide, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene and anisole to have no significant effect on the reaction rate and any observed small effect is within the uncertainty of the rate measurements.

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.

The kinetics of triethylamine (TEA) catalyzed deydrochlorination of a series of N-aryl-C-ethoxycarbonylformohydrazidoyl chlorides 1a–m have been studied under pseudo-first-order conditions in 4:1 (v/v) dioxane–water solution at 30 °C. For all compounds studied, the kinetics followed the rate law: kobs = k2 (TEA). The values of the overall second-order rate constants for the studied compounds were correlated by the equation: log k2 = 0.533σ−-0.218. The results are compatible with a mechanism involving a fast reversible deprotonation step leading to the anion of 1, followed by rate-determining step involving the loss of the chloride ion from the anion. The reaction constants of these two steps were estimated to be 0.845 and −0.312, respectively.
