Simple Empirical Model

A simple empirical model for predicting the pyrolysis rate of fuel packed bed of a woodstove has been presented. The thermolytic behavior of the fuel bed has been approximated by a pseudo-first order reaction. The reaction rate constant has been determined as function of temperature. The effect of orientation of twigs in the fuel bed arrangement and twig diameter on the reaction rate constant has been analyzed. It has been concluded that the effect of twig orientation is insignificant while the peak magnitude of reaction rate constant increased with increasing twig diameter.

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.

We investigated the effects of pH, ionic strength, catalyst, and initial concentration on both decomposition of 2-chlorophenol (2-cp) and removal of total organic carbon (TOC) in aqueous solution with ultrasonic amplitude 120 μm and H2O2 (200 mg/l). When the initial concentrations of 2-cp was 100 mg/l and the pH was controlled at 3, the rate of 2-cp decomposition was enhanced up to 6.6-fold and TOC removal up to 9.8-fold over pH controlled at 11. At pH 3, the efficiency of decomposition of 2-cp was 99% but the removal of TOC was only 63%; a similar situation applied at pH 7 and 11. Hence intermediate compounds were produced and 2-cp was not completely mineralized. When the concentration of ionic strength was increased from 0.001 to 0.1 M, the rate of 2-cp decomposition was enhanced only 0.3-fold, whereas the TOC removal was not enhanced. In comparison of the effects of pH and ionic strength, pH had greater influence on both 2-cp decomposition and TOC removal than ionic strength. The effect of a catalyst (FeSO4) on decomposition of 2-cp was insignificant comparing with direct addition of H2O2. The reaction rate at a smaller initial concentration of 2-cp (10 mg/l) was more rapid than at a greater one (100 mg/l). The rate of 2-cp decomposition and TOC removal appeared to follow pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics.

Apparent Reaction Rate

Spherical sponge iron (SSI) with high activity and intension could be prepared through direct reduction by charcoal or hydrogen. The capability of cadmium removal by SSI was investigated in. It was suggested that the reaction of SSI reduced by hydrogen was higher than that reduced by charcoal, and the increasing rate of pH and cadmium removal in solution by SSI reduced by hydrogen was higher than that reduced by charcoal. Moreover, cadmium removal percentage by SSI reduced with hydrogen was much higher than that reduced by charcoal. When the original concentration of cadmium was 50mg/L, cadmium removal by SSI appeared to be the pseudo-first-order reaction because the reaction order was from 0.861 to 0.984. The apparent reaction rate constant of cadmium removal by SSI reduced with charcoal was 0.586 h-1. While hydrogen was utilized as reduction agent, the apparent reaction rate constant of cadmium removal was increased by 7.3 and 13.7 times.

The present work investigates the photoelectrocatalytical degradation Basic Blue 41 (BB 41) largely applied to dye synthetic fibers, using a semiconductor Ti/TiO2 as photoanode. 100% of degradation of 8.33 10-5 mol L-1 dye in 0.1 mol L−1 Na2SO4, pH 2 was obtained under current density of 0.40 mA cm−2 and irradiation UV after 60 min of treatment and 80% of total organic carbon removal. The oxidation follows pseudo-first order reaction with initial rate constant of -0,040 mim-1 and a current efficiency of 51%. The results are superior the conventional photocatalysis in the same conditions without the polarization of the photoanode that takes to 65% of mineralization under initial rate constant -0,024 min-1.

The inactivation of human factor XIa by human antithrombin III (AT III) was studied under pseudo-first order reaction conditions (excess AT III) both in the absence and presence of heparin. The time course of inhibition was followed using SDS-PAGE. After electrophoresis proteins were blotted onto nitrocellulose and stained either for glycoprotein or for AT III using antibodies against AT III. Concomittant with factor XIa inactivation two new slower migrating bands became visible on the blots. One of these, representing the intermediate complex consisting of one AT III complexed with one of the active sites present in factor XIa, appeared as a transient band. Complete inactivation resulted in a single band representing the complex of factor XIa with two AT III molecules. This indicates that inhibition of factor XIa by AT III can be described as:Quantitative analysis of the time course of inactivation was accomplished by measurement of the disappearance of factor XIa amidolytic activity towards the chromogenic substrate S2366. Pseudo first order reaction kinetics were observed throughout. The time course of inactivation and the distribution of the reaction products observed upon gelelectrophoresis are best explained assuming a mechanism of inactivation in which the two active sites present in factor XIa are inhibited in random order (i.e. independent of each other) with the same rate constant of inhibition (k1= k2)- The rate constant of inactivation for the active sites in factor XIa was found to be 1,000 M-1 s-1 in the absence of heparin and 34,900 M-1 s-1 in the presence of saturating amounts of heparin.- From the kinetic data a binding constant Kd of 0.11 uM was inferred for the binding of AT III to heparin. Experiments with four well characterized heparin fractions indicate, that the actual magnitude of the rate enhancement of factor XIa inactivation is, however, not only due to the binding of AT III to heparin, but also depends on the type of heparin to which the AT III is bound.

This work deals with the treatment of the wastewaters resulting from the process of dyeing flowers. In some local cases for growing flowers near to Medellín (Colombia), wastewater color was found to be one of the main problems in meeting local effluent standards. Wastewaters were treated by photodegradation process (which includes photocatalysis) to achieve the degradation of dyes mixture and organic matter in the wastewater. A multifactorial experimental design was proposed, including as experimental factors the following variables: pH, and the concentration of both catalyst (TiO2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). According to the obtained results, at the optimized variables values, it is possible to reach a 99% reduction of dyes, a 76.9% of mineralization (TOC) and a final biodegradability of 0.834. Kinetic analysis allows proposing a pseudo first order reaction for the reduction, the mineralization, and the biodegradation processes.

In this study, photocatalytic experiments of 20 mg l −1 sulfamethazine (SMN) in aqueous solution containing ZnO with different morphologies, tetra-needle-like ZnO (T-ZnO), flower-like ZnO (F-ZnO) and nanoparticles ZnO (P-ZnO), were performed. The results indicated that photocatalytic degradation of SMN was effective and followed the pseudo-first-order reaction, but the degree of SMN mineralization showed obvious differences using ZnO with different shapes. After 12 h irradiation, 86%, 71% and 50% of the initial total organic carbon was eliminated in SMN suspension containing T-ZnO, F-ZnO and P-ZnO, respectively. The release ratio of sulfur was close to 100% in the presence of T-ZnO, but reached to 86% and 67% in the presence of F-ZnO and P-ZnO, respectively. The release ratio of nitrogen was about 76%, 63% and 40% using T-ZnO, F-ZnO and P-ZnO as photocatalyst, respectively. The morphology of ZnO played an important role in determining its catalytic activity. Seven intermediates were observed and identified in the UV/T-ZnO reaction system by LC-MS/MS analysis, and a possible degradation pathway was proposed.
