Mechanical hydrolysis

Theory Cavitational properties of ultrasound accelerate those organic reactions which involving free radical mechanism, hydrolysis, protonation, etc. However the sonochemical effects are negative for those reactions in which one of the reactants is volatile. 

In dilute solutions, these reactions produce a series of M(OH) (n = 1-4) hydrolysis species with populations that depend on solution pH (17). Hydrolysis chemistry is fundamental to the behavior of trivalent metal ions in water as the extent of hydrolysis governs the polymerization of metal ions into extended structures that eventually crystallize into secondary oxide and oxyhydroxide minerals and clays. When building a general capability to simulation geochemical reaction mechanisms, hydrolysis is the place to begin. If the hydrolysis equilibria of... 

Although digoxin is not extensively metabolized in the majority of patients, in some it is metabolized before its absorption from the gut, by two mechanisms hydrolysis by gastric acid and hydrogenation by intestinal bacteria, mainly Eubacteriimi lentum. The macrohde antibiotics and tetracycline increase the systemic availability of digoxin, by inhibiting its breakdown by intestinal bacteria (266,267). 

The decomposition of methoxynaphthalene occurs by two parallel mechanisms hydrolysis predominates at SC water density while thermal pyrolysis is dominant at zero and subcrltlcal water densities. The hydrolysis is proven to be a proton catalyzed mechanism and is positively affected by dissolved NaCl, all in agreement with the secondary salt effect rate law. This rate law has traditionally been applied to liquid media but the current work has proven that the same rate law applies also for SC water. 

Esters react by both acid and nucleophile initiated mechanisms. Hydrolysis of esters by acid catalysis is exactly the reverse of the mechanism for the acid-catalyzed esterification of a carboxylic acid. Base-catalyzed hydrolysis of esters is called saponification. Hydroxide attacks to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Loss of alkoxide ion then occurs. The alkoxide neutralizes the resulting carboxylic acid to form the salt. 

PROBABLE FATE photolysis-, photochemical reactions in aqueous media are probably unimportant, slow decomposition in the troposphere in the presence of nitrogen oxides is possible, appreciable photodissociation may occur in stratosphere, photooxidation half-life in air 19.1-191 days oxidation-, probably unimportant, in troposphere, oxidation by hydroxyl radicals to CO2, CO, and phosgene is important fate mechanism hydrolysis not an important fate process, first-order hydrolytic half-life 704 yrs volatilization due to high vapor pressure, volatilization to the atmosphere is rapid and is a major transport process sorption sorption to inorganic and organic materials is not expected to be an important fate mechanism biological processes bioaccumulation is not expected, biodegradation may be possible but very slow compared with evaporation...

Chemical reactions by contact with water may have various mechanisms. Hydrolysis, oxidation of alkali metals or simple decomposition of the substance, can be involved. It can also be a reaction of hydration for anhydride prodncts. Corrosivity of chemicals reacting with water will be mainly linked to two factors the temperature released in an exothermic reaction and/or the nature of the molecules released at the end of the reaction (e.g hydrochloric acid - HCl).
