Sulfuric acid is used as the homogeneous catalyst with concentrations ranging from 0.0633 mol·L-1to 0.3268 mol·L-1. The feed molar ratio of acetic acid to methanol is varied from 1:1 to 1:4. The influences of temperature, catalyst concentration and reactant concentration on the reaction rate are investigated. A second order kinetic rate equation is used to correlate the experimental data. The forward and backward reaction rate constants and activation energies are determined from the Arrhenius plot.The developed kinetic model is compared with the models in literature. The developed kinetic equation is useful for the simulation of reactive distillation column for the synthesis of methyl acetate.展开更多

The kinetics of the reaction between boron trifluoride methanol complex and sodium methoxide to produce enriched ^(10)B methylborate was proposed based on a detailed mechanism study, and was verified by acid-base titration method and conductivity method. It was found that this reaction is first order reaction and the rate constant is 0.022 min^(-1) at 338 K(65 ℃), the activity energy is 65 k J/mol. In addition, it was found that the conductivity method is more feasible to measure the kinetic curve than acid-base titration method.展开更多

Equilibrium data were obtained in the concentration range 50-1,200 mg·L-1 of ammonium and used in the estimation of thermodynamic parameters. Freundlich's isotherm model was found as with the best adjustment to equilibrium data at 25, 45 and 55℃, whereas, Redlich-Peterson's model had a better performance at 35 ℃. A discontinuous and unusual behavior was observed on adsorption capacity of the zeolite, with an increase from 25 ℃ to 35 ℃ followed by a decrease from 35℃ to 55 ℃. K0 values presented differences that reached up to 105 from one methodology to other. Depending on the method considered, AS results indicated both increase or decrease in system degree of disorder and △G indicated both physisorption or chemisorption process, proving the poor correlation between the estimation proceedings of such important data. The results from Gaines and Thomas method were recognized as the most correlated to calorimetric studies, as well as to equilibrium data and observations related to system entropy.展开更多

In order to s...The dielectric constant of the lunar regolith can directly influence the reflection coefficient and the trans-mission coefficient of the Moon′s surface, and plays an important role in the Moon research. In order to study the di-electric properties of the lunar regolith, the lunar regolith simulant was made according to the making procedure of the CAS-1 simulant made by Chinese Academy of Sciences. Then the dielectric constants of the lunar regolith simulant were measured with 85070E Aiglent Microwave Network Analyzer in the frequency ranging from 0.2 GHz to 20.0 GHz and at temperature of 25.1℃, 17.7℃, 13.1℃, 11.5℃, 9.6℃, 8.0℃, 4.1℃, -0.3℃, -4.7℃, -9.5℃, -18.7℃, -27.7℃, and -32.6℃, respectively. The Odelevsky model was employed to remove the influence of water in the air on the final effective dielectric constants. The results indicate that frequency and temperature have apparent influences on the dielectric constants of the lunar regolith simulant. The real parts of the dielectric constants increase fast over the range of 0.2 GHz to 3.0 GHz, but decrease slowly over the range of 4.0 GHz to 20.0 GHz. The opposite phenomenon occurs in the imaginary parts. The influences of the frequency and temperature on the brightness temperature were also estimated based on the radiative transfer equation. The result shows that the variation of the frequency and temperature results in great changes of the microwave brightness temperature emitting from the lunar regolith.展开更多

In the temperature range from 360 K to 220 K the real part of the complex ac electrical conductivity and dielectric constant follow the universal dielectric response (UDR), being typical for hopping or tunneling of localized charge carriers. A detailed analysis of the temperature dependence of the UDR parameter s in terms of the theoretical model for tunneling of small polarons revealed that below 360 K this mechanism governs the charge transport in this material. The characteristic parameters for polarons, W∞, ιo, and ι0 were determined.展开更多

Experiments at different temperatures show that the first-order rate constants display an Arrhenius behavior with activation energies of (110.9 ±2.3), (70.4 ± 2.1) and (61.4 ± 1.8)kJ.mo1-1 for 2- pyridinecarboxamide, 3-pyridinecarboxamide and 4-pyridinecarboxamide, respectively. These kinetic parameters for pyridinecarboxamide hydrolysis are more reliable and accurate than those from the consecutive hydrolysis of cyanopyridines.展开更多

The equilibrium geometries, energies, and thermodynamics properties of all the stationary points along the addition reaction pathway are calculated. The rate constants and the branching ratios of each channel are evaluated using classical transition state theory (TST) in the temperature range of 210 to 360 K, to simulate temperatures in all parts of the troposphere. The ortho addition pathway is dominant and accounts for 99.8%-96.7% of the overall adduct products from 210 to 360 K. The calculated rate constants are in good agreement with existing experimental values. The addition reaction is irreversible.展开更多
