The laboratory studies utilized small-scale (1-5-L) reactors. These are satisfactoiy because the reaction rates observed are independent of reac tor size. Several reac tors are operated in parallel on the waste, each at a different BSRT When steady state is reached after several weeks, data on the biomass level (X) in the system and the untreated waste level in the effluent (usually in terms of BOD or COD) are collected. These data can be plotted for equation forms that will yield linear plots on rec tangular coordinates. From the intercepts and the slope or the hnes, it is possible to determine values of the four pseudo constants. Table 25-42 presents some available data from the literature on these pseudo constants. Figure 25-53 illustrates the procedure for their determination from the laboratory studies discussed previously. 

These two reactions, which have been in industrial use for many decades, have equilibrium constants (Table 4.2) where it can be seen that the equilibrium... 

The rate constants (in absolute solvents unless otherwise specified) are measured at a temperature giving a convenient reaction rate and calculated for a reference temperature used for comparison. These constants have all been converted to the same units and tabulated as 10 A . Where comparisons could otherwise not be made, pseudo-unimolecular constants (Tables IX and XIII, and as footnoted in Tables X to XIV) are used. The reader is referred to the original articles for the specific limits of error and the rate equations used in the calculations. The usual limits of error were for k, 1-2% or or 2-5% and logio A, 5%, with errors up to double these figures for some of the high-temperature reactions.

The conditional association constant for [18]aneN4 ( cyclic spermine ) with ATP - at pH 7.5 is calculated from the (3L value (Table 5) and protonation constants (Table 1) to be 2.4x 105 M-1, which is larger than the association constants for the linear spermidine (9 xi 02 M ) and spermine (9.5 x 103 M-1)23). It is also of interest that cyclic spermine is selective for ATP over AMP (ratio association constants is 700), while linear spermine prefers ATP to AMP only by a ratio of 26 to 1 43). The selective complexation of biologically important anions is of particular interest, especially if the ligands are converted into selective anion carriers by attachment of lipophilic hydrocarbon chains. 

Many solvents and additives have measurable transfer constants (Table 6.5). The accuracy of much of the transfer constant data in the literature is questionable with values for a given system often spanning an order of magnitude. In some cases the discrepancies may be real and reflect differences in experimental conditions. In other cases they are less dear and may be due to difficulties in molecular weight measurements or other problems. 

Although (5 varies with temperature, the quantity [<5, — 5] is insensitive to temperature the solubility parameters used in Eq. (70) were therefore treated as constants. Table III gives some of the solubility parameters used by Chao and Seader. For supercritical components, the solubility parameters were back-calculated from binary-mixture data, as was also done by Shair (P2). 

The kinetics of decarboxylation of 4-aminosalicylic acid in some buffer solutions at 50 °C were studied. The first-order rate coefficients increased with increasing buffer concentration, though the pH and ionic strength were held constant (Table 217). This was not a salt effect since the rate change produced by substituting potassium chloride for the buffer salt was shown to be much smaller. It follows from the change in the first-order rate coefficients (kx) with... 

Complexes with the Fluoride Ion. For the compilation of stability constants (Table IV) of complexes with F , we have used, when needed, thermodynamic parameters (K, AH) pertaining to the dissociation of hydrofluoric acid as given by Smith and Martell (77) or extrapolated from their selection. 

Considering the anion concentration ranges in natural waters (Table II) and the magnitude of the corresponding plutonium stability constants (Table III), the chemistry of plutonium, as well as that of uranium and neptunium, is almost entirely dominated by hydroxide and carbonate complexation, considering inorganic complexes only (41, 48, 49). ... 

It is interesting to note that, despite drastic changes in the chemical frameworks of primary bisphosphines, there are minimal/no differences in the chemical shifts and coupling constants (Table 1). The proton coupled P NMR... 

In addition, a marked influence of solvent polarity on AG was found to be exemplified for triafulvene 227, which showed a decrease of AG when measured in solvents with higher dielectric constants (Table 13). 

The rate of acid-induced demetalation depends only slightly on the nature of the head substituents X (Table I). In contrast, the tail-R groups dramatically affect k and, for the most part, k3, suggesting that tail amide O-atoms are sites of peripheral protonation. Thus, the acid tolerant Fem-TAML catalysts with tail electron-withdrawing groups should be more acid resistant and replacement of R = Me with R = F results in a remarkable stabilization. The rate constants (Table I) show that under weakly acidic conditions (pH 2-3), when the k pathway dominates over k3, fluorinated lk is 105-fold more H +-tolerant than la. 

Tables I, III, V, and VII give the kinetic mass loss rate constants. Tables II, IV, VI, and VIII present the activation parameters. In addition to the activation parameters, the rates were normalized to 300°C by the Arrhenius equation in order to eliminate any temperature effects. Table IX shows the char/residue (Mr), as measured at 550°C under N2.

Because of the scarcity of electronic paramagnetic resonance data, and because of the frequent unreliability of the data from paramagnetism, boiling point elevation, spectrophotometry, and ortho-para hydrogen conversion, most published radical dissociation constants can be accepted only with reservations. An error of 50 % is not at all improbable in many cases. We are therefore not yet in a position to explain, or rather to test our explanations of, small differences in dissociation constants. Table I shows the values of K corresponding to various hexaarylethanes in benzene at 25°. Because of the order of magnitude differences in Table I, however, it is likely that some of the expected large effects, such as steric and resonance effects, exist. 

A word is needed about the assignment of rate constants to specific carbene spin states. Where a measured rate constant can be attributed with some confidence to a particular spin multiplicity, that multiplicity is indicated (i.e. XA and 3BA). Where the multiplicity is uncertain, the experimentally determined rate constant is reported and no spin state is indicated (i.e. FL). In the latter cases, the reported rate constant can often be viewed as the product of the actual bimolecular rate constant and the equilibrium constant (Table 8) connecting the carbene spin states 6 Griller el al., 1984c. This conclusion is reached solely from the analysis of products in C6H12...
