Although the literature contains a very large number of research articles concerned with the kinetics and mechanisms of reactions involving solids, there are comparatively few authoritative, critical and comprehensive reviews of the formidable quantity of information which is available. Probably the most important general account of the field is the book Chemistry of the Solid State, edited by Gamer [63]. Chapters 7—9 are particularly relevant in the present context as they provide a systematic exposition of the kinetic equations applicable to the decomposition of single solids (Jacobs and Tompkins [28]) and their application to endothermic [64] and exothermic [65] reactions. 

Having identified the kinetic relation applicable to the data for a particular reaction by the general techniques outlined in the preceding paragraph, it is necessary to confirm linearity of the appropriate plot of the function f(a) against time. The special problems which relate to the induction period, the acceleratory and the deceleratory regions are conveniently considered separately. 

The kinetic expressions applicable to diffusion-controlled reactions have been discussed in Chap. 3, Sect. 3.3. Mass transport in ionic solids has been reviewed by Steele and Dudley [1182],... 

Few fixed-bed reactors operate in a region where the intrinsic kinetics are applicable. The particles are usually large to minimize pressure drop, and this means that diffusion within the pores. Steps 3 and 7, can limit the reaction rate. Also, the superficial fluid velocity may be low enough that the external film resistances of Steps 2 and 8 become important. A method is needed to estimate actual reaction rates given the intrinsic kinetics and operating conditions within the reactor. The usual approach is to define the effectiveness factor as... 

The pseudohomogeneous reaction term in Equation (11.42) is analogous to that in Equation (9.1). We have explicitly included the effectiveness factor rj to emphasis the heterogeneous nature of the catalytic reaction. The discussion in Section 10.5 on the measurement of intrinsic kinetics remains applicable, but it is now necessary to ensure that the liquid phase is saturated with the gas when the measurements are made. The void fraction s is based on relative areas occupied by the liquid and soUd phases. Thus,... 

In a final application of kinetic reaction modeling, we consider how sodium feldspar (albite, NaAlSisOs) might dissolve into a subsurface fluid at 70 °C. We consider a Na-Ca-Cl fluid initially in equilibrium with kaolinite [Al2Si20s (OF )/ ], quartz, muscovite [KAl3Si30io(OH)2, a proxy for illite], and calcite (CaC03), and in contact with a small amount of albite. Feldspar cannot be in equilibrium with quartz and kaolinite, since the minerals will react to form a mica or a mica-like... 

Differential equations arise in reaction kinetics through application of two main fundamental rate laws, which are... 

In kinetics studies, as in mass spectrometry, data reduction can be helpful before starting a detailed analysis. A typical application in which data reduction is of value is high-temperature kinetics. Reactions in flames are complex, so study of these reactions is challenging not just experimentally but also... 

The emphasis of the current research is on molecular structure of oligomeric fractions leached from quality cured, industrial resins. However, the potential for applications in quality control should not be overlooked. Chromatography analysis provides positive feedback capable of molecular descriptions of extent of cure actually achieved. Oligomeric distributions coupled to kinetic reaction analysis allows for detailed estimates of crosslink architecture within the resin (7). 

An indirect method has been used to determine relative rate constants for the excitation step in peroxyoxalate CL from the imidazole (IM-H)-catalyzed reaction of bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate (TCPO) with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of various ACTs . In this case, the HEI is formed in slow reaction steps and its interaction with the ACT is not observed kinetically. However, application of the steady-state approximation to the reduced kinetic scheme for this transformation (Scheme 6) leads to a linear relationship of l/direct measure of the rate constant of the excitation step. 

Fortunately, there are several compendia of kinetic data applicable for atmospheric reactions that are... 

The analysis of the diffusion-controlled computer simulations confirms once more conclusions drawn above for the static reactions of immobile particles. In particular, the superposition approximation gives the best lower bound estimate of the kinetics reaction, n = n(i). Divergence of computer simulations and analytical theory being negligible for equal concentrations become essential for large depths and when one of reactants is in excess. The obtained results allow us to use the superposition approximation for testing the applicability of simple equations of the linear theory in those cases when computer simulations because of some reasons cannot be performed. Examples will be presented in Chapter 6. 

Applicability of Homogeneous Kinetics. The applicability of homogeneous kinetics to the reaction of solute with H80 in the spur raises the question as to whether Equations 1-14 are only an approximation of the dependence on solute concentration which would result from treatment of intraspur reactions by diffusion kinetics. An answer is provided by Figure 6. The slope and intercept values in Equation 15...

At neutral pH values, a high variation of reactivity of o-chlorophenol with ozone is observed with small changes in pH. These /cD values were found after gas-liquid kinetic model application to experimental data. Thus, the ozonation of o-chlorophenol was found to be a pseudo first-order fast gas liquid reaction as found by Hoigne and Bader [46] in homogeneous ozonation experiments. Trends of /cD with pH for other ozone-phenol reactions are similar to that depicted in Fig. 9.

Early (1930 to 1940) kinetic studies of dehydrations contributed much to the development of the concept of the reaction interface as the important feature of nucleation and growth reactions [2]. Kinetic equations applicable to the decompositions of a vnde range of crystalline substances were developed. Large, well-formed crystals of hydrates could be prepared relatively easily and studies of these were particularly rewarding. The interpretation of kinetic data was supplemented by microscopic evidence concerning the formation and development of product nuclei. Recent work on dehydrations has included more precise determinations of the crystal structures of reactants, products and their interrelationships, including interface textures, in the attempt to resolve unanswered questions. 

A general kinetics model for all photochemical reaction orders, and a photosystem designed to harvest visible light as a source of electrons for use in redox reactions applicable to organic synthesis have also been described. ...
