The kinetics of this catalytic reaction has been investigated by the initial rate procedure. The mechanism has been proposed. A new and highly sensitive catalytic reaction-oscillopolarographic method for the determination of ultratrace amounts of osmium has been described, based on the Os(Ⅳ) catalytic effect on the reaction. The linear range of 5.0×10^(-11)-4.4×10^(-9) mol/L and 6.0×10^(-9)-1.3×10^(-7) mol/L Os was obtained using the fixed-time procedure and the initial rate procedure, respectively. Osmium in refined ore was analysed by this method.展开更多

Secondarily oxidant, such as hypobromous acid(HOBr), can be formed during chlorination of bromide-containing waters. The decay of oxidants and formation of disinfection byproducts(DBPs) due to the interaction between oxidants and selected metal oxides were studied. Selected metal oxides generally enhanced the decay of these halogencontaining oxidants via three pathways:(1) catalytic disproportionation to yield an oxidized form of halogen(i.e., halate) and reduced form(halide for chlorine and bromine or chlorite for chlorine dioxide),(2) oxygen formation, and(3) oxidation of a metal in a reduced form(e.g., cuprous oxide) to a higher oxidation state. Cupric oxide(Cu O) and nickel oxide(Ni O)showed significantly strong abilities for the first pathway, and oxygen formation was a side reaction. Cuprous oxide can react with oxidants via the third pathway, while goethite was not involved in these reactions. The ability of Cu O on catalytic disproportionation of HOBr remained stable up to four cycles. In chlorination process, bromate formation tends to be important(exceeding 10 μg/L) when initial bromide concentration is above 400 μg/L in the presence of dissolved organic matter. Increasing initial bromide concentrations increased the formation of DBPs and calculated cytotoxicity, and the maximum was observed at p H8.6 during chlorination process. Therefore, the possible disinfectant loss and DBP formation should be carefully considered in drinking water distribution systems.展开更多
