Effect of Mn（Ⅱ） and Ce（Ⅳ） Ions on the Oxidation of Lactic Acid by Chromic Acid

The kinetics and mechanism of lactic acid oxidation in the presence of Mn（Ⅱ） and Ce（Ⅳ） ions by chromic acid were studied spectrophotometrically. The oxidation of lactic acid by Cr（Ⅵ） was found to proceed in two measurable steps, both of which gave pyruvic acid as the primary product in the absence of Mn（Ⅱ）.2Cr（Ⅵ）＋2CH3CHOHCOOH→2CH3COCOOH＋Cr（Ⅴ）＋C（Ⅲ） Cr（V）＋CH3CHOHCOOH→Cr（Ⅲ）＋CH3COCOOHThe observed kinetics was explained due to the catalytic and inhibitory effects of Mn（Ⅱ） and Ce（Ⅳ） on the lactic acid oxidation by Cr（Ⅵ）. The reactivity of lactic acid depends upon the experimental conditions. It acts as a two- or three- equivalent reducing agent in the absence or presence of Mn（Ⅱ）. It was examined that Cr（Ⅲ） products resulting from the direct reduction of Cr（Ⅵ） by three-equivalent reducing agents. The oxidation of lactic acid follows the complex order kinetics with respect to [lactic acid]. The activation parameters Eo, △H^#, and AS^# were calculated and discussed.     

Extraction chromatographic study of aluminium(III) and mutual separation of aluminium(III), gallium(III), indium(III) and thallium(III) with N-n-octylaniline

A selective method has been developed for extraction chromatographic studies of aluminium(III) and its separation from several metal ions with a chromatographic column containing N-n-octylaniline (liquid anion exchanger) coated on silanized silica gel as a stationary phase. The aluminium(III) was quantitatively extracted with the 0.065 mol/L N-n-octylaninine from 0.013 to 0.05 mol/L sodium succinate at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The extracted metal ion has been recovered by eluting with 25.0 mL of 0.05 mol/L hydrochloric acid and estimated spectrophotometrically with aurintricarboxylic acid. The effects of the acid concentration, the reagent concentration, the flow rate and the eluting agents have been investigated. The log-log plots of distribution coefficient (KdAl(III)) versus N-n-octylaniline concentrationin 0.005 and 0.007 mol/L sodium succinate gave theslopes 0.5 and 0.7 respectively and showed theprobable composition of theextracted species was 1:1 (metal to amine ratio) and the nature of extracted species is [RR''NH2+ Al succinate2-] org. .The extraction of aluminium(III) was carried out in the presence of various ions to ascertain the tolerance limit of individual ions. Aluminium(III) has been separated from multicomponent mixtures, pharmaceutical samples and synthetic mixtures corresponding to alloys. A scheme for mutual separation of aluminium(III), indium(III), gallium(III) and thallium(III) has been developed by using suitable masking agents. The method is fast, accurate and precise.     

Chemical oscillations in the metal ion-catalyzed bromate-4-aminophenol reaction

Temporal oscillations of the bromate-4-aminophenol system have been studied in the presence of four different catalysts:tris(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) sulfate(ferroin),Ce(III),Mn(II),and Fe(II).Transient temporal oscillations were observed in the four catalyzed systems when the reactions were conducted in a stirred batch reactor.The induction time was prolonged by the presence of ferroin,but it was shortened in the Ce(III)-and Mn(II)-catalyzed systems.On the other hand,the number of peaks was significantly decreased in the presence of ferroin.The development of oscillatory behaviour was found to be more sensitive to the ratio of bromate and 4-aminophenol concentration than to their absolute concentrations.The reaction rates of 4-aminophenol with Ce(IV) and 4-aminophenol with ferritin were measured directly by spectroscopic methods in a sulfuric acid medium.     

Studies of Unusual Oxidation States of Transition Metals Ⅱ——Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Pyruvate by Diperiodatoargentate (Ⅲ)Ion

It was found that the reaction order with respect to both DPA and pyruvate is unity and the rate equation can be expressed asThe rate increases with the increase in [OH ] and decreases with the increase in [periodate]. There is a positive ionic strength effect in this reaction system. A mechanism has been proposed to explain the experimental results. The observed activation parameters are presented.     

阳离子胶束对[Gr(III)-(Gly-Gly)]2+与茚三酮反应动力学的影响

The effect of cationic micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on the interaction of chromium dipeptide complex ([Cr(III)-Gly-Gly]2+) with ninhydrin under varying conditions has been investigated. The rates of the reaction were determined in both water and surfactant micelles in the absence and presence of various organic and inorganic salts at 70 ℃ and pH 5.0. The reaction followed first-and fractional-order kinetics with respect to [Cr(III)-Gly-Gly2+] and [ninhydrin]. Increase in the total concentration of CTAB from0 to 40×10-3mol·dm-3 resulted in an increase in the pseudo-first-order rate constant (kψ) by a factor of ca 3. Quantitative kinetic analysis of kψ-[CTAB] data was performed on the basis of the pseudo-phase model of the micelles. As added salts induce structural changes in micellar systems that may modify the substrate-surfactant interactions, the effect of some inorganic (NaBr, NaCl, Na2SO4) and organic (NaBenz, NaSal, NaTos) salts on the rate was also explored. It was found that the tightly bound counterions (derived fromorganic salts) were the most effective.     

Determination of chromium(VI) and total chromium in water by in-electrode coulometric titration in a porous glassy carbon electrode

Chromium(VI) is determined through its direct electrochemical reduction in the bulk of a porous glassy carbon electrode. An electrode filled with the acidified sample and Cr(VI) is reduced by means of a constant current whereas the potential of the electrode is monitored. The limits of detection and quantification were found to be 1.9 and 6.0 μg · L⁻¹, resp. The linear range, repeatability and reproducibility were found to be 5–500 μg · L⁻¹, 1.2, and 1.8%, resp. The influence of Fe(III), Ca(II), Mg(II), sulphates, nitrates, humic acids and surfactants was investigated. Total chromium was measured after chemical oxidation of Cr(III) to chromate by permanganate. The method was applied to analyses of water samples.     

硫酸溶液中胶束催化Ce(IV)氧化D-甘露糖

Kinetics of D-mannose oxidation by cerium (IV) was studied in a sulfuric acid medium at 40℃ both in absence and presence of ionic micelles. In both cases, the rate of the reaction was first-order in D-mannose and in cerium(Ⅳ), which decreased with increasing [H2SO4]. This suggested that the redox reaction followed the same mechanism. The reaction proceeded through formation of an intermediate complex, which was proved by kinetic method. The complex underwent slow unimolecular decomposition to a free radical that reacted with cerium (Ⅳ) to afford the product. The catalytic role of cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelles was best explained by the Menger-Portnoy model. The study of the effect of CTAB also indicated that a negatively charged species was reactive form of cerium (Ⅳ). From the kinetic data, micelle-cerium (Ⅳ) binding and rate constants in micellar medium were evaluated.The anionic micelle of sodium dodecyl sulfate plays no catalytic role. The oxidation has the rate expression: --d[Ce(Ⅳ)]= k1Kcl[D-mannose] [Ce(Ⅳ)]dt Different activation parameters for micelle catalyzed and uncatalyzed paths were also calculated and discussed.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Glycol by Dihydroxydiperiodatonickelate ( Ⅳ )Complex in Aqueous Alkaline Medium

The kinetics of oxidation of glycol by dihydroxydiperiodato nickelate ( Ⅳ) complex (DDN) was studied by spectrophotometry in aqueous alkaline medium in a temperature range of 25-40℃. The reaction was found to be first order with respect to Ni( Ⅳ ) and also to be first order with respect to glycol. The rate increases with the increase in [OH ] and decreases with the increase in [IO-4], showing that dihydroxymonoperiodatonickelate ( Ⅳ )(DMN) is the reactive species of oxidant. Salt effect indicated that the reaction is of ion-dipole type. No free radical was detected. A mechanism of an inner-sphere two-electron transfer reaction involving a preequilibrium between DDN and DMN is proposed, and the rate equation derived from the mechanism can explain all experimental observations. Activation parameters of the rate-determing step and the equilibrium constants were calculated.

Determination of trace mercury in geological samples by direct slurry sampling cold vapor generation atomic absorption spectrometry

A new method based on ultrasonic slurry sampling atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) was established for the determination of trace mercury in geological samples by use of recently developed mercury cold vapor generation using formic acid under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The generated mercury cold vapor was rapidly separated from the matrix and swept into a T-tube for the measurement of atomic absorbance. Under the optimal experimental conditions, up to 1000-fold of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cr(VI), Mn(II), Fe(III), and Zn(II) caused no significant interference with the determination of 50 μg L⁻¹ Hg. The limit of detection at sub-ppb level was obtained for mercury. The method was applied to the determination of mercury in geological samples with satisfactory results.

非晶态金属-磷酸铝催化正庚醛和苯甲醛羟醛缩合制茉莉醛(英文)

Amorphous aluminophosphate (AlP) and metal‐aluminophosphates (MAlPs, where M=2.5 mol%Cu, Zn, Cr, Fe, Ce, or Zr) were prepared by coprecipitation method. Their surface properties and catalytic activity for the synthesis of jasminaldehyde through the aldol condensation of n‐heptanal and benzaldehyde were investigated. The nitrogen adsorption‐desorption isotherms showed that the microporosity exhibited by the aluminophosphate was changed to a mesoporous and macroporous structure which depended on the metal incorporated, with a concomitant change in the surface area. Temperature‐programmed desorption of NH3 and CO2 revealed that the materials possessed both acidic and basic sites. The acidic strength of the material was either increased or decreased depending on the nature of the metal. The basicity was increased compared to AlP. All the materials were X‐ray amorphous and powder X‐ray diffraction studies indicated the absence of metal oxide phases. The Fourier transform infrared analysis confirmed the presence of phosphate groups and also the absence of any M‐O moieties in the materials. The selected organic reaction occurred only in the presence of the AlP and MAlPs. The selectivity for the jasminaldehyde product was up to 75%with a yield of 65%. The best conversion of n‐heptanal with a high selectivity to jasminaldehyde was obtained with FeAlP as the catalyst, and this material was characterized to have less weak acid sites and more basic sites.

The kinetics of oxidation of thiocarbohydrazide in the free and zinc(Ⅱ)-bound states byacid bromate have been studied in aqueous and water-acetic acid(1:1,V/V)media under varyingconditions,both in the absence and presence of added bromide ion.The rates of oxidations show firstorder kinetics in[bromate]in all the cases,but exhibit different kinetic behaviour in[substrate]and[H~+].Oxidation of TCH in aqueous medium shows zero order in[TCH]and nearly second order in[H~+],while oxidation in aqueous acetic acid shows two ranges in[H~+].The rate shows first and fractionalorder kinetics in[TCH]in the first and second acid ranges.Kinetics observed in the presence of Br~-are similar to those observed for oxidation of TCH in second acid range.In addition,the reactionshows fractional order in[Br~-].Oxidation of TCH in Zn(Ⅱ)-bound state exhibits first order kinetics in[substrate]and second order in[H~+].Increase in ionic strength of the medium decreases the rate in allthe cases.Increase in acetic acid composition of the solvent increases the rate.Mechanisms consistentwith the observed results have been considered and the rate laws deduced.The rate limiting steps havebeen identified and the coefficients of these steps have been calculated at different temperatures.Therelated activation parameters have also been computed.The validity of the deduced rate laws has alsobeen tested by recalculating the rate constants from them as[TCH]and[H~+]are varied.     

Photo-grafting Poly(acrylic acid) onto Poly(lactic acid) Chains in Solution

Poly(lactic acid)(PLA)is one of the most important bio-plastics,and chemical modification of the already-polymerized poly(lactic acid)chains may enable optimization of its material properties and expand its application areas.In this study,we demonstrated that poly(lactic acid)can be readily dissolved in acrylic acid at room temperature,and acrylic acid can be graft-polymerized onto poly(lactic acid)chains in solution with the help of photoinitiator benzophenone under 254 nm ultraviolet(UV)irradiation.Similar photo-grafting polymerization of acrylic acid(PAA)has only been studied before in the surface modification of polymer films.The graft ratio could be controlled by various reaction parameters,including irradiation time,benzophenone content,and monomer/polymer ratios.This photo-grafting reaction resulted in high graft ratio(graft ratio PAA/PLA up to 180%)without formation of homopolymers of acrylic acid.When the PAA/PLA graft ratio was higher than 100%,the resulting PLA-g-PAA polymer was found dispersible in water.The pros and cons of the photo-grafting reaction were also discussed.

The kinetics of the oxidation of glycol by dihydroxyditelluratoargentate (Ⅲ) complex(DDA) was studied in alkaline medium with spectrophotometry(in a temperature range of 16.6-40 ℃).The first-order rates with respect to glycol and Ag(Ⅲ) were all found.The rates increased with the increase in [OH-] and decreased with the increase in [TeO2-4].No effect was found with the addition of KNO3 and no free radical was detected.In view of this,the dihydroxymonotelluratoargentate(Ⅲ) species(DMA) is assumed to be the active species.A plausible mechanism involving a two-electron transfer is proposed,and the rate equation derived from the mechanism can explain all experimental observations.Activation parameters of the rate-determining step and constants are evaluated.     

Kinetic Study of the Electro-Catalytic Oxidation of Hydrazine on Cobalt Hydroxide Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

Electrocatalytic oxidation of hydrazine was investigated on a cobalt hydroxide modified glassy carbon (CHM-GC) electrode in alkaline solution. The process of oxidation involved and its kinetics were established by using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry techniques as well as steady state polarization measurements. In cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies, in the presence of hydrazine the peak current increase of the oxidation of cobalt hydroxide is followed by a decrease in the corresponding cathodic current. This indicates that hydrazine is oxidized on the redox mediator that is immobilized on the electrode surface via an electrocatalytic mechanism. A mechanism based on the electrochemical generation of Co(IV) active sites and their subsequent consumption by the hydrazine in question was also investigated.
