Kinetic assessment

The assessment of reaction kinetics by means of batch tests may be strongly affected by dye adsorption on the biophase and supports. The relevance of the adsorption phenomena of dyes on biophase has been addressed in studies regarding free cells [41], granular support biofilm [24], entrapped cells [11, 18], anaerobic sludge [10,24,31,34] and biological activated carbon (BAC) [42,45,47,48]. They have pointed out that the kinetics may be overestimated if the assessment of the adsorption contribution to the dye removal is not taken into account. Under batch conditions, the dye is fastly split between the liquid phase and the biophase, resulting in a sharp reduction of the dye concentration in the liquid phase until adsorption equilibrium is approached. The rate of dye adsorption must be estimated and ruled out in the kinetic assessment. 

Whatever the typology of immobilized biophase, kinetics assessment and modeling studies should not neglect the relevance of the profiles reported in Fig. 4. In agreement with Bailey and Ollis [51], the non uniform profile of the concentrations of azo-dye and of the products may be expressed in terms of the effectiveness factor of the immobilized biophase the ratio of actual reaction rate to the reaction rate without diffusion limitation. 

In accordance with the above, of special interest is kinetic assessment of H202 dissociation to H02 and OH free radicals. Dissociation of H202 in the gas phase is a comprehensively studied reaction proceeding by the mechanism (4.1), from which the following equation is deduced ...

If a rapid screening test is used to assay for the drug or residue that is known to be present in the animal, they key performance element is the specificity of the assay response for the test analyte. A typical use of a rapid screening test in this mode would be in a pharmacokinetic study to determine the half-life of a drug in the blood of a treated animal. The assay used should be able to track the concentration of drug with acceptable specificity and provide a kinetic assessment that reflects the effects of only the animal drug under test.

As a simple model reaction for such immobilizations, we investigated the reaction of NHS-CIO SAMs and n-butyl amine in aqueous medium [138, 139]. The coupling reaction was followed analogously to the hydrolysis discussed above by ex situ GIR-FTIR and CA measurements. The corresponding FTIR spectra, as well as the reaction kinetics assessed by both methods, are shown in Fig. 7.

Cesium and iodine atoms which are released from fuel specimens into a high-temperature steam-hydrogen environment are thermodynamically unstable and will be rapidly converted into species that are stable under these conditions. Since the chemical form of iodine in particular will considerably influence its transport and retention behavior within the reactor pressure vessel and the primary system, it is important to know the kinetics of these conversion reactions. A kinetics assessment of the most essential reactions (Cronenberg and Osetek, 1988) has shown that for extremely low concentrations of iodine and cesium in steam (e. g. mole ratio I H2O < 10" ), the predominant form of iodine is HI and that of cesium is CsOH. This is due to the fact that because the concentrations of iodine and cesium are so dilute, the elements are much more likely to collide and react with H2O and H2 than with each other. Low concentrations of iodine and cesium increase the time for thermochemical equilibrium to be established for their reaction products. For mixtures which are so dilute in fission products, the reaction times may approach tens of seconds or longer, so that for high effluent rates the environmental conditions may change (e. g. by transport into the next control volume showing other conditions) before thermochemical equilibrium has been achieved. Under such conditions, certain limitations caused by reaction kinetics may exist.
