The enhanced cementation technique by galvanic interaction of aluminum (Al; electron donor) and activated carbon (AC; electron mediator) to recover gold (Au) ions from the ammonium thiosulfate solution is a promising technique to eliminate the challenges of poor recovery in the system. This study presents the kinetics of Au ion cementation in an ammonium thiosulfate lixiviant as functions of initial Au concentration, size/amount of Al and AC, temperature, and shaking speed. The recovery results basically followed first order kinetics and showed that the cementation rate increased with a higher initial concentration of Au, smaller electron donor size, greater both electron donor and mediator quantity, decrease in temperature, and higher shaking speed in the system, while size of electron mediator did not significantly affect Au recovery.

Hydrolysis and photolysis kinetics of Fubianezuofeng (FBEZF) in water were investigated in detail. The hydrolysis half-lives of FBEZF depending on pH, initial concentration, and temperature were (14.44 d at pH = 5; 1.60 d at pH = 7), (36.48 h at 1.0 mg L−1; 38.51 h at 5.0 mg L−1; and 31.51 h at 10.0 mg L−1), and (77.02 h at 15 °C; 38.51 h at 25 °C; 19.80 h at 35 °C; and 3.00 h at 45 °C), respectively. The photolysis half-life of FBEZF in different initial concentrations were 8.77 h at 1.0 mg L−1, 8.35 h at 5.0 mg L−1, and 8.66 h at 10.0 mg L−1, respectively. Results indicated that the degradation of FBEZF followed first-order kinetics, as the initial concentration of FBEZF only had a slight effect on the UV irradiation effects, and the increase in pH and temperature can substantially accelerate the degradation. The hydrolysis Ea of FBEZF was 49.90 kJ mol−1, which indicates that FBEZF belongs to medium hydrolysis. In addition, the degradation products were identified using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with an Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometer. One degradation product was extracted and further analyzed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 19F-NMR, and MS. The degradation product was identified as 2-(4-fluorobenazyl)-5-methoxy-1,3,4-oxadiazole, therefore a degradation mechanism of FBEZF in water was proposed. The research on FBEZF can be helpful for its safety assessment and increase the understanding of FBEZF in water environments.

Presence of antibiotics in the environment specially in aqueous environments is considered a major warning about health and environment. Thus, this study aims the efficiency of coupled process of Activated Carbon (AC) prepared from mango seed+ZnO under UV irradiation as an advanced oxidation process in removing cefazolin antibiotic from aqueous solutions. This experimental study was carried out in a discontinuous reaction chamber with volume of one liter. In this process, the effect of initial pH parameters of the environment (3– 9), initial concentration of cefazolin (20 – 200 mg/L), concentration of modified, photocatalyzer (20 – 100 mg/L) and reaction time (10 – 60 min) were studied. The pilot used consisted of a low pressure mercury lamp with a 55-watt beam radiation power inside the steel chamber. The kinetic of the process was studied based on pseudo first order kinetics. Results showed that the highest removal efficiency of cefazolin antibiotics in the reaction of UV/AC + ZnO, at optimal conditions of pH= 3, contact time of 60 min, initial concentration of 100 mg/L and modified photocatalyzer of 0.1 g/L was equal to 96%. The kinetic model determined for the process followed kinetic model of pseudo- first order kinetics with high correlation of (R2 = 0.99). Results of present study revealed that photocatalyzer process of nanoparticles oxidation on synthetic activated carbon can be effectively used as an advanced oxidation reaction to remove cefazolin and similar pollutants.

Studies were undertaken to evaluate gaseous pollutants in workplace air within pulp and paper mills and to consider the effectiveness of photo-catalytic treatment of this air. Ambient air at 30 sampling sites in five pulp and paper mills of southern China were sampled and analyzed. The results revealed that formaldehyde and various benzene-based molecules were the main gaseous pollutants at these five mills. A photo-catalytic reactor system with titanium dioxide (TiO2) was developed and evaluated for degradation of formaldehyde, benzene and their mixtures. The experimental results demonstrated that both formaldehyde and benzene in their pure forms could be completely photo-catalytic degraded, though the degradation of benzene was much more difficult than that for formaldehyde. Study of the photo-catalytic degradation kinetics revealed that the degradation rate of formaldehyde increased with initial concentration fitting a first-order kinetics reaction. In contrast, the degradation rate of benzene had no relationship with initial concentration and degradation did not conform to first-order kinetics. The photo-catalytic degradation of formaldehyde-benzene mixtures indicated that formaldehyde behaved differently than when treated in its pure form. The degradation time was two times longer and the kinetics did not reflect a first-order reaction. The degradation of benzene was similar in both pure form and when mixed with formaldehyde.

The kinetics of oxidation of methyl orange by vanadium(V) {V(V)} has been investigated in the pH range 2.3-3.79. In this pH range V(V) exists both in the form of decavanadates and VO2+. The kinetic results are distinctly different from the results obtained for the same reaction in highly acidic solution (pH < 1) where V(V) exists only in the form of VO2+. The reaction obeys first order kinetics with respect to methyl orange but the rate has very little dependence on total vanadium concentration. The reaction is accelerated by H+ ion but the dependence of rate on [H+] is less than that corresponding to first order dependence. The equilibrium between decavanadates and VO2+ explains the different kinetic pattern observed in this pH range. The reaction is markedly accelerated by Triton X-100 micelles. The rate-[surfactant] profile shows a limiting behavior indicative of a unimolecular pathway in the micellar pseudophase.

A comparative study of chemical stability of terfenadine (TER) and itsin vivometabolite fexofenadine (FEX) was performed. Both TER and FEX were subjected to high temperature at different pH and UV/VIS light at different pH and then quantitatively analyzed using new validated LC-UV methods. These methods were used to monitor the degradation processes and to determine the kinetics of degradation for both the compounds. As far as the effects of temperature and pH were concerned, FEX occurred more sensitive to degradation than TER. As far as the effects of UV/VIS light and pH were concerned, the both drugs were similarly sensitive to high doses of light. Using all stress conditions, the processes of degradation of TER and FEX followed the first-order kinetics. The results obtained for these two antihistaminic drugs could be helpful in developing their new derivatives with higher activity and stability at the same time.

Abstract The pretreatment of the phosphoric acid is a stage of utmost importance leading to an optimal recovery of the uranium present in this acid. To this end, the degradation of the organic matter which obstructs considerably this recovery was tested by γ irradiation. This study lies within the scope of the radiation/matter interaction; concerning the use of the γ irradiator as proceed of phosphoric acid purification by the degradation of di butyl phthalate (DBP). Studies of the interaction of γ radiation with phosphoric acid solutions polluted by an organic matter concern the study of the influence of some parameters such as: dose rate (0.5–35 kGy), initial concentration (50–500 mg/L) of the pollutant, pH and % in P2O5 on the degradation of organic matter by γ irradiation. The reactions followed pseudo first order kinetics for different initial concentrations. The results made it possible to say that the degradation of di butyl phthalate by γ irradiation is dependent on the amount of the concentration of DBP and pH. The G-values decreased with absorbed doses, and increased with higher initial concentrations.Purification of phosphoric acid by γ radiation does not degrade the quality of this acid.

We previously showed, during quasi-steady-state exposures, that the rate of inhaled NO2 uptake displays reaction-mediated characteristics (J. Appl. Physiol. 68: 594–603, 1990). In vitro kinetic studies of pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (ELF) demonstrated that NO2 interfacial transfer into ELF exhibits first-order kinetics with respect to NO2, attains [NO2]-dependent rate saturation, and is aqueous substrate dependent (J. Appl. Physiol. 71: 1502–1510, 1991). We have extended these observations by evaluating the kinetics of NO2 gas phase disappearance in isolated ventilating rat lungs. Transient exposures (2–3/lung at 25 degrees C) employed rebreathing (NO2-air) from a non-compliant continuously stirred closed chamber. We observed that 1) NO2 uptake rate is independent of exposure period, 2) NO2 gas phase disappearance exhibited first-order kinetics [initial rate (r*) saturation occurred when [NO2] > 11 ppm], 3) the mean effective rate constant (k*) for NO2 gas phase disappearance ([NO2] < or = 11 ppm, tidal volume = 2.3 ml, functional residual capacity = 4 ml, ventilation frequency = 50/min) was 83 +/- 5 ml/min, 4) with [NO2] < or = 11 ppm, k* and r* were proportional to tidal volume, and 5) NO2 fractional uptakes were constant across [NO2] (< or = 11 ppm) and tidal volumes but exceeded quasi-steady-state observations. Preliminary data indicate that this divergence may be related to the inspired PCO2. These results suggest that NO2 reactive uptake within rebreathing isolated lungs follows first-order kinetics and displays initial rate saturation, similar to isolated ELF.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In an effort to introduce N,N-dichloroarylsulphonamides of different oxidising strengths, four mono- and five di-substituted N,N-dichlorobenzenesulphonamides are prepared, characterised and employed as oxidants for studying the kinetics of oxidation of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) in 50% aqueous acetic acid. The reactions show first order kinetics in [oxidant], fractional to first order in [DMSO] and nearly zero order in [H+]. Increase in ionic strength of the medium slightly increases the rates, while decrease in dielectric constant of the medium decreases the rates. The results along with those of the oxidation of DMSO by N,N-dichlorobenzenesulphonamide and N,N-dichloro-4- methylbenzenesulphonamide have been analysed. Effective oxidising species of the oxidants employed in the present oxidations is Cl+ in different forms, released from the oxidants. Therefore the introduction of different substituent groups into the benzene ring of the oxidant is expected to affect the ability of the reagent to release Cl+ and hence its capacity to oxidise the substrate. Significant changes in the kinetic and thermodynamic data are observed in the present investigations with change of substituent in the benzene ring. The electron releasing groups such as CH3 inhibit the ease with which Cl+ is released from the oxidant, while electron-withdrawing groups such as Cl enhance this ability. The Hammett equation, log kobs = −3.19 + 1.05 σ , is found to be valid for oxidations by all the p-substituted N,N-dichlorobenzenesulphonamides. The substituent effect on the energy of activation, Ea and log A for the oxidations is also analysed. The enthalpies and free energies of activation correlate with an isokinetic temperature of 320 K.

The microwave irradiation (MI) was found that it had significantly treatment efficiency for pollutants removal. It was developed to treat the alage in this paper. The granular activated carbon (GAC) was used as catalyst. The effect of the acting time, MI power, GAC amount and the initial concentration on alage removal were studied. The results showed: with the increasing of the acting time, MI power, GAC amount the alage removal rate were increased, but the effect of the initial concentration to alage removal was opposite; the optimum value of acting time, MI power and GAC amount were 5min, 450W and 3g respectively with the alage removal efficiency reached up to 100%. It also showed that with the alage removed under the MI the COD, SS were removed too. It was discovered that the oxidation process was basically in conformity with the first-order dynamic reaction(ln(C/C0)＝-0.9371t+0.6744（R2=0.9472）).
