A kinetic-catalytic method for iodide based on the simultaneous addition of inhibitor and substrate
1987
Abstract A kinetic-catalytic method of analysis, based on the addition of a mixture of inhibitor and substrate, at a constant rate, over the catalyst in the presence of the other component of the indicator reaction is studied. The method is applied to the determination of iodide using the Ce(IV)As(III) catalytic reaction and Hg(II) as inhibitor. Under suitable experimental conditions the absorbance of the unconsumed Ce(IV) is inversely proportional to the initial iodide concentration.
Photocatalytic degradation of carbaryl in aqueous TiO2 suspensions containing surfactants
1999
The effect of ionic and non-ionic aliphatic surfactants on the photocatalytic degradation of Carbaryl (1-naphtyl-N-methylcarbamate) in aqueous solutions containing suspended TiO2 (anatase) particles, under irradiation with simulated AM1 solar light, was investigated. A neat inhibitory effect on the degradation rate was observed, depending on the nature of the surfactant and on the initial pH of the solution. The decay profiles of the primary process corresponded to the usual pseudo-first order kinetics for surfactant concentrations below the critical micellar concentration range, whereas a more complicate behaviour was observed in the presence of micellar aggregates. Mineralization of the p…
Decarboxylation and alkaline colour fading reactions in presence of humic substances.
2002
Humic substances (HSs) can substantially influence velocity of reactions in the environment as shown on example of decarboxylation and alkaline colour (e.g., malachite green and crystal violet) fading reactions. In colour fading and decarboxylation reactions of 6-nitrobenzisoxazole-3-carboxylic acid HS act as inhibitors, but additions of surfactants change the pattern of reaction. The inhibitory activity of HSs much depends on their origin. The velocity of studied reactions depends also on pH, temperature and concentration of HS used. Possible micellar catalysis mechanism has been suggested.
