Kinetic Model For The Reaction of Ilmenite With Sulphuric Acid

The kinetic of the reaction ilmenite with sulphuric acid was studied using non-adiabatic and non-isothermic calorimetric device system. The kinetic model based on interphase surface and kinetic models found in literature which are usually applied were tested. The best agreement between experimental and calculated values was found with model based on first order of reaction and model of contracting volume. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Enthalpy of solution and effect of temperature on activity coefficients in MSO4−H2SO4−H2O system

Results of calorimetric determination of integral enthalpies of solution of some hydrates (monohydrates and heptahydrates) of 3d transition metal sulphates such as FeSO₄, NiSO₄ and MnSO₄ in three-component systems at sulphuric acid concentrations up to 2M are reported. Measured values of integral enthalpies of solution are the basis for calculation of activity coefficient temperature dependences according to Pitzer's model.     

Investigations of the thermal transformations of precipitated mixed transition metal hydroxides

The thermal behaviour and phase composition of mixed oxides obtained by oxidation of iron(II) hydroxide in the presence of Mg, Zn, Co, Cu and Ni, is investigated by thermogravimetry, and conventional and high-temperature X-ray diffractometry.
