Autoinhibition of photocatalytic reduction of safranin and dichromate ions at anatase

The photocatalytic transformations of safranin and dichromate ion at titanium dioxide involve the formation of reduction products at the first stage. With increase in the concentration of catalyst the rate constant increases at [E] 1 g/L and subsequently reaches a plateau in accordance with the Michaelis-Menten equation. With increase in the concentration of the substrate, however, the rate of the process increases, passes through a maximum, and then decreases. The retardation of the process is due to inhibition by the substrate or by the product of the photocatalytic transformation. The proposed equation predicts a hyperbolic dependence of the rate and the rate constant on [E] and an extremal dependence of these kinetic parameters on the concentration of the substrate.     

Selection of the most effective kinetic model of lactase hydrolysis by immobilized Aspergillus niger and free β-galactosidase

The kinetic model of the hydrolysis of lactose by β-galactosidase from Aspergillus niger immobilized on a commercial ceramic monoliths was estimated in the attendance of lactose and its hydrolysis reaction products galactose and glucose. The aim of this work was to developing kinetic model of lactase hydrolysis by Aspergillus niger. The variables in this study are temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration and final product. The optimum temperature used to achieve the best hydrolysis performance in the kinetic model selection was 55 and 60 °C. The optimum pH used for enzyme activity was about 3.5 to 4. Five kinetic models were proposed to confirm experimental data the enzymatic reaction of the lactose hydrolysis by the β-galactosidase. The kinetics of lactose hydrolysis by both Immobilized and soluble lactases were scrutinized in a batch reactor system in the lack of any mass conduction restriction. In both instance the galactose inhibition kinetic models predicted the experimental data. The model is capable to fit the experimental data correctly in the extensive experimental span studied.     

Kinetics and mechanisms of the oxidation by permanganate of L-Phenylalanine

The oxidation of L-Phenylalanine by permanganate ion in aqueous phosphate buffers is autocatalized by the inorganic reaction product, which is stabilized in solution by adsorption of phosphate ions on its surface. This product is a soluble form of colloidal manganese dioxide. The rate of the noncatalytic reaction pathway is first-order in both the oxidizing and reducing agent. It is not affected by potassium chloride addition to the solution, but by phosphate addition. The rate increases with the pH of the medium. The autocatalytic pathway is first-order in both permanganate ion and colloidal manganese dioxide, (the permanganate ion according to the Langmuir isotherm). The autocatalytic rate increases with reductant concentration (follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm). It is not affected by potassium chloride addition to the solution, whereas an increase in the phosphate concentration results in an increase in the rate with the same pH of the medium. Mechanisms consistent with the experimental data are proposed.     

Kinetic and mechanistic studies on the complexation and anation of dioxotetracyanomolybdate (IV) with 2,2′-bipyridyl in aqueous solution

Dioxotetracyanomolybdate(IV) has been found to form a 1 : 2 complex with 2,2′-bipyridyl. The kinetics of the reaction has been studied over the pH range 5.3–8.7 by visible spectrophotometry under pseudo conditions. The effect of the 2,2′-bipyridyl and dioxotetracyanomolybdate(IV), temperature, ionic strength, and pH on the reaction rate was determined. The reaction follows first-order kinetics with respect to dioxotetracyanomolybdate(IV) ion and fractional-order kinetics with respect to 2,2′-bipyridyl. Values for the outer-sphere complex formation constant (K_os2) and rate constants (k₂) were also calculated from the kinetic data. It was found that rate of the reaction increases with the decreasing pH. The following rate equation based on the outersphere complexation equilibrium preceding the associative interchange has been derived. On the basis of the observed results probable mechanism has been proposed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Hydrolysis of 3,4-diphenyl-1,2,5-thiadiazole-1,1-dioxide. Acid and base catalysis

We have performed a product and kinetic study of the hydrolysis of 3,4-diphenyl-1,2,5-thiadiazole-1,1-dioxide in aqueous solution. Benzil and sulfamide are the only products of hydrolysis and are formed in equimolar yields. The kinetic results indicate that a first order law is followed up to 90% conversion. The observed rate constant is independent of substrate concentration. Ionic strength and buffer concentration do not affect the rate constant, but the reaction is acid-base catalyzed. The rate-pH profile has been determined and a mechanism that fits the experimental data satisfactorily is proposed. Corresponding rate constants and equilibrium constants for the protonation of the substrate are reported.

Kinetic analysis of arginase-urease coupled reaction with a surface acoustic wave enzyme sensor system

An extended set of equations which describe coupled arginase-urease reactions is presented. The mathematical treatment leads to the development of new equations which relate the lag-time required for the concentration of urea to reach a defined fraction of its steady-state concentration to the kinetic parameters of the enzymes, when the steady-state concentration of urea is small compared to its Michaelis constant value, the coupled arginase-urease reaction was monitored with a surface acoustic wave (SAW) enzyme sensor system, to couple the biochemical selectivity of enzymes with the sensitivity of SAW sensors. The proposed theoretical expressions were verified experimentally. The kinetic parameters of urease and arginase (extracted directly from bovine liver) were examined under theoretical guidance. Dependence of the lag-time of the coupled enzyme reaction on the concentrations of urease and arginase is also described.     

Deactivation of jack bean urease in urea hydrolysis

Deactivation studies of jack bean urease immobilized on porous alumina beads in the hydrolysis of urea were conducted in a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) at a temperature of 25°C and pH 7.0. Though the mechanism of poisoning of urease by product ammonia is fairly well understood from the literature, the nature of the poisoning of urease by urea is presented in this article. These studies were conducted by adsorbing the ammonia formed in the hydrolysis reaction. The results indicate that, in the presence of the adsorbent Zeolite W, the deactivation rate is reduced by a factor of almost two, and thus provide a technique for prolonging the life of the enzyme. The deactivation model suggests that the free form of the enzyme is most susceptible to attack by the substrate urea. The experimental data suggest that deactivation by combined ammonia and urea is fairly complex.     

Kinetics and mechanism of water catalytic oxidation by a Ru3+(bpy)3 complex in the presence of colloidal cobalt hydroxide

Kinetics of the catalytic oxidation of water to molecular oxygen by a tris(bipyridyl) Ru(III) complex is studied in the presence of colloidal cobalt hydroxide stabilized by starch. Oxidant consumption follows the first-order rate law with respect to the oxidant concentration. The dependence of the apparent rate constant of this process on the catalyst concentration, initial oxidant concentration, and initial concentration of its reduced form was determined. The dependence of the oxygen yield on H⁺ at pH 7–11 and a catalyst concentration of 10-⁷-10-³ mol¹ is studied. An intermediate product of the reaction was found, which is probably a bridged peroxo complex of cobalt. The kinetic scheme and mechanism of the reaction is proposed, which agree with experimental observations.

Microcalorimetric Studies on the Product Inhibition of Hydrolysis of L-arginine Catalyzed by Bovine Liver Arginase

A new thermokinetic reduced extent method for the product inhibition of single substrate enzyme-catalyzed reactions is proposed and compared with the traditional initial rate method in this paper. The arginase-catalyzed hydrolysis of L-arginine to L-ornithine and urea was studied at 37°C in 40 mM sodium barbiturate-HCl buffer solution (pH=9.4). Michaelis constant (K _m) for arginine and maximum velocity (V _m) of the reaction were determined by initial method and thermokinetic method. The activation of exogenous manganese to this reaction was also studied. The product inhibition constant (K _P), which cannot be obtained directly from the initial rate method, was determined by thermokinetic without adding L-ornithine to the reaction system. When the concentration of Mn²⁺ in cell is 0.1 mM, the enzyme gets its full activity. Incubation arginase with appropriate concentration of Mn²⁺resulted in increased Vmax and a higher sensitivity of the enzyme to product with no change in the K _m for arginine. We suggest that the exogenous manganese ions in solution have just recovered the activity of arginase, which was lost in dissolving and dilution, but no effect on the mechanism of the reaction. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Kinetics and mechanism of silver(I)-catalysed oxidation of 1,4-butanediol by peroxodiphosphate in acetate buffers

Summary The kinetics of silver(I)-catalysed oxidation of 1,4-butanediol by peroxodiphosphate (pdp) has been studied in acetate buffers. The diol oxidation product has been identified as 4-hydroxy-butanal by spectral analysis. The rate is independent of diol concentration and also hydrogen ion concentration in the pH region employed in the reaction. However, acetate ion radically retards the rate. A probable mechanism is proposed.

Phosphate triester hydrolysis promoted by an N2S(thiolate)Zn complex: mechanistic implications for the metal-dependent reactivity of peptide deformylase

The zinc(II) complex (PATH)ZnOH, where PATH is an N2S(thiolate) ligand, has been investigated for its ability to promote the hydrolysis of the phosphate triester tris(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate (TNP). The hydrolysis of TNP was examined as a function of PATH-zinc(II) complex concentration, substrate concentration, and pH in a water/ethanol mixture (66:33 v/v) at 25 degrees C. The reaction is first order in both zinc(II) complex and substrate, and the second-order rate constants were derived from linear plots of the observed pseudo-first-order rate constants versus zinc complex concentration at different pH values. A pH-rate profile yielded a kinetic pK(a) of 8.52(5) for the zinc-bound water molecule and a pH-independent rate constant of 16.1(7) M(-1) s(-1). Temperature-dependent studies showed linear Eyring behavior, yielding the activation parameters DeltaH++ = 36.9(1) kJ mol(-1) and DeltaS++ = -106.7(4) J mol(-1) K(-1). Interpretation of the kinetic data leads to the conclusion that hydrolysis of TNP takes place through a hybrid mechanism, in which the metal center plays a dual role of providing a nucleophilic hydroxide and activating the substrate through a Lewis acid effect. The synthesis and structural characterization of the related nickel(II) and iron(II) complexes [(PATH)2Ni2]Br2 (2) and (PATH)2Fe2Cl2 (3) are also described. Taken together, these data suggest a possible explanation for the low reactivity of the zinc(II) form of peptide deformylase as compared to the iron(II) form.     

Inhibition of cold rolled steel corrosion by Tween-20 in sulfuric acid: weight loss, electrochemical and AFM approaches

The inhibiting action of a nonionic surfactant of Tween-20 on the corrosion of cold rolled steel (CRS) in 0.5-7.0 M sulfuric acid (H(2)SO(4)) was studied by weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization methods. Atomic force microscope (AFM) provided the surface conditions. The results show that inhibition efficiency increases with the inhibitor concentration, while it decreases with the sulfuric acid concentration. The adsorption of inhibitor on the cold rolled steel surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation. Effect of immersion time was studied and discussed. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of cold rolled steel was also studied at four temperatures ranging from 30 to 60 degrees C, the thermodynamic parameters such as adsorption heat, adsorption free energy, and adsorption entropy were calculated. The results revealed that the adsorption was physisorption mechanism. A kinetic study of cold rolled steel in uninhibited and inhibited acid was also discussed. The kinetic parameters such as apparent activation energy, pre-exponential factor, rate constant, and reaction constant were calculated for the reactions of corrosion. The inhibition effect is satisfactorily explained by both thermodynamic and kinetic models. Polarization curves show that Tween-20 is a cathodic-type inhibitor in sulfuric acid. The results obtained from weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization are in good agreement, and the Tween-20 inhibition action could also be evidenced by surface AFM images.     

Micellar effect on hydrolysis of 4-methyl-2-nitroaniline phosphate

The effect of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the hydrolysis of a substrate (mono-4-methyl-2-nitroaniline phosphate) by HCl was studied at 303 K. The reaction followed the first-order kinetics with respect to both HCl and the substrate. SDS effectively catalyzes this reaction, which rate increases with the concentration of SDS due to an increase of dielectric constant of the medium. The kinetic data were fitted to Menger-Portnoy, Piszkiewicz and Berezin kinetic models to explain the observed micellar effects. The various activation parameters both in the presence and absence of SDS were evaluated; a reasonable mechanism was proposed. The rate constant in micellar phase, binding constant and index of cooperativity were calculated accordingly.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of l‐Histidine by Permanganate Ions in Sulfuric Acid Medium

The reaction kinetics for the oxidation of l ‐histidine by permanganate ions have been investigated spectrophotometrically in sulfuric acid medium at constant ionic strength and temperature. The order with respect to permanganate ions was found to be unity and second in acid concentration, whereas a fractional order is observed with respect to histidine. The reaction was observed to proceed through formation of a 1:1 intermediate complex between oxidant and substrate. The effect of the acid concentration suggests that the reaction is acid catalyzed. Increasing the ionic strength has no significant effect on the rate. The influence of temperature on the rate of reaction was studied. The presence of metal ion catalysts was found to accelerate the oxidation rate, and the order of effectiveness of the ions was Cu²⁺ > Ni²⁺ > Zn²⁺. The final oxidation products were identified as aldehyde (2‐imidazole acetaldehyde), ammonium ion, manganese(II), and carbon dioxide. Based on the kinetic results, a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed. The activation parameters were determined and discussed with respect to a slow reaction step.     

Deoximation by cetyltrimethylammonium dichromate: A kinetic study

The deoximation kinetics of some oximes was studied by using cetyltrimethylammonium dichromate (CTADC) in dichloromethane in the presence of acetic acid and a cationic surfactant. The rate of reaction is highly sensitive to the change in [CTADC], [oxime], [acid], [surfactant], polarity of the solvents, and reaction temperature. The reaction is found to be catalyzed by acid with an appreciable uncatalytic rate. The reaction is first order with respect to substrate. With increase in CTADC concentration, rate of the reaction increases with a fractional order dependency with respect to oxidant. Consistent to the observation, a mechanism has been proposed in which the substrate forms a complex with CTADC in the rate determining step followed by decomposition with a fast process to yield corresponding carbonyl compounds. The structure of the substituents has also a significant effect on the rate constant. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 43: 482–488, 2011     

Novel iron(III) porphyrazine complex. Complex speciation and reactions with NO and H2O2

The complex [iron(III) (octaphenylsulfonato)porphyrazine] (5-), Fe (III)(Pz), was synthesized. The p K a values of the axially coordinated water molecules were determined spectrophotometrically and found to be p K a 1 = 7.50 +/- 0.02 and p K a 2 = 11.16 +/- 0.06. The water exchange reaction studied by (17)O NMR as a function of the pH was fast at pH = 1, k ex = (9.8 +/- 0.6) x 10 (6) s (-1) at 25 degrees C, and too fast to be measured at pH = 10, whereas at pH = 13, no water exchange reaction occurred. The equilibrium between mono- and diaqua Fe (III)(Pz) complexes was studied at acidic pH as a function of the temperature and pressure. Complex-formation equilibria with different nucleophiles (Br (-) and pyrazole) were studied in order to distinguish between a five- (in the case of Br (-)) or six-coordinate (in the case of pyrazole) iron(III) center. The kinetics of the reaction of Fe (III)(Pz) with NO was studied as a model ligand substitution reaction at various pH values. The mechanism observed is analogous to the one observed for iron(III) porphyrins and follows an I d mechanism. The product is (Pz)Fe (II)NO (+), and subsequent reductive nitrosylation usually takes place when other nucleophiles like OH (-) or buffer ions are present in solution. Fe (III)(Pz) also activates hydrogen peroxide. Kinetic data for the direct reaction of hydrogen peroxide with the complex clearly indicate the occurrence of more than one reaction step. Kinetic data for the catalytic decomposition of the dye Orange II by H 2O 2 in the presence of Fe (III)(Pz) imply that a catalytic oxidation cycle is initiated. The peroxide molecule first coordinates to the iron(III) center to produce the active catalytic species, which immediately oxidizes the substrate. The influence of the catalyst, oxidant, and substrate concentrations on the reaction rate was studied in detail as a function of the pH. The rate increases with increasing catalyst and peroxide concentrations but decreases with increasing substrate concentration. At low pH, the oxidation of the substrate is not complete because of catalyst decomposition. The observed kinetic traces at pH = 10 and 12 for the catalytic cycle could be simulated on the basis of the obtained kinetic data and the proposed reaction cycle. The experimental results are in good agreement with the simulated ones.
