Equilibrium and kinetic study on chromium (vi) removal from simulatedGJESM Publication
Gooseberry seed (Phyllanthus acidus) was used as an adsorbent to determine its feasibility for the removal of Cr(VI). Various parameters such as pH, temperature, contact time, initial metal concentration and adsorbent dosage were investigated to determine the biosorption performance. Equilibrium was attained within 60 minutes and maximum removal of 96% was achieved under the optimum conditions at pH 2. The adsorption phenomenon demonstrated here was monolayer represented by Langmuir isotherm with R2 value of 0.992 and the Langmuir constants k and q0 was found to be 0.0061 (L/mg) and 19.23 (mg/g). The adsorption system obeyed Pseudo second order kinetics with R2 value of 0.999. The results of the present study indicated that gooseberry seed powder can be employed as adsorbent for the effective removal of hexavalent chromium economically.
Kinetics of Ruthenium(III) Catalyzed and Uncatalyzed Oxidation of Monoethanol...Ratnakaram Venkata Nadh
Kinetics of uncatalyzed and ruthenium(III) catalyzed oxidation of monoethanolamine by N-bromosuccinimide
(NBS) has been studied in an aqueous acetic acid medium in the presence of sodium acetate
and perchloric acid, respectively. In the uncatalyzed oxidation the kinetic orders are: the first order in NBS,
a fractional order in the substrate. The rate of the reaction increased with an increase in the sodium acetate
concentration and decreased with an increase in the perchloric acid concentration. This indicates that free
amine molecules are the reactive species. Addition of halide ions results in a decrease in the kinetic rate,
which is noteworthy. Both in absence and presence of a catalyst, a decrease in the dielectric constant of the
medium decreases the kinetic rate pointing out that these are dipole—dipole reactions. A relatively higher
oxidation state of ruthenium i.e., Ru(V) was found to be the active species in Ru(III) catalyzed reactions. A
suitable mechanism consistent with the observations has been proposed and a rate law has been derived to
explain the kinetic orders.

Two new Versatile reagent Tripropylammonium Fluorochromate(TriPAFC) and Tripropylammonium Chlorochromate(TriPACC) has been employed for the oxidation of Mandelic acid. Rate of the réaction is catalysed by surfactant Sodium LaurylEther Sulphate(SLES). The Oxidation has been studied spectrophotometrically at room température in perchloric acid medium. Rate of TriPAFC and TriPACC oxidation of Mandelic acid has been followed under pseudo-first order condition. Rate constants were calculated by the integrated rate equation. The graph of logk versus time was linear and the slope is near to unity, rate constant calculated from graph also agreed with experimental value shows the first order rate dépendance on Mandelic acid. Product formed in this oxidation of Mandelic acid was analysed, polymerization test were carried to confirm that the reaction follows ionic mechanism and stoichiometric data has been accounted.Temperature of the substrate is varried and from the rate constant value, Thermodynamic parameters like Activation energy, Enthalpy change, Entropy change and change in Gibb’s free energy is calculated using Arrhenius and Eyrings plot. All the kinetic runs were repeated and the rate constants were reproducible within ±2% range.

Coordination complexes of Cr(III)with four tridentate Schiff base ligands viz. N-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde)- -(4-nitrobenzoyl)hydrazone(HNNH = H2L 1 ), N-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde)- -(2-furoyl) hydrazone (HMFH = H2L 2 ), N-(2-hydroxyacetophenone)- -(2-theonyl) hydrazone (HATH = H2L 3 ) and N-(2- hydroxy-5-methylacetophenone)- -(3-toloyl) hydrazone (HMAT = H2L 4 ) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, thermogravimetric analysis and spectral (IR, electronic, NMR) measurements. IR spectra indicates that the ligand behave as dibasic tridentate ligand in a chelate coordinating to Cr(III) ion through ketonic oxygen, azomethine nitrogen and by both enolic and phenolic protons (except in H2L 1 by naphtholic oxygen atom) via double deprotonation of ligands. The magnetic and spectral data indicate chelate in octahedral environment and analytical data suggest 1:1 stoichiometries for the complexes

Determination of the hydrogen coefficient diffusion DH in the MmNi3.55Mn0.4Al...AI Publications
The hydrogen storage alloys MmNi3.55Mn0.4Al0.3Co0.75-xFex (0 ≤ x ≤0.75) were used as negative electrodes in the Ni-MH accumulators. The chronopotentiommetry and the cyclic voltammetry were applied to characterize the electrochemical properties of these alloys. The obtained results showed that the substitution of the cobalt atoms by iron atoms has a good effect on the life cycle of the electrode. The discharge capacity reaches its maximum in MmNi3.55Mn0.4Al0.3Co0.75-x Fex ( x = 0, 0.15, 0.35, 0.55 and 0.75) are, respectively, equal to 270, 266, 260, 210 and 200 mAh/g after 12 charge-discharge cycles. The diffusion behaviour of hydrogen in the negative electrodes made from these alloys was characterized by cyclic voltammetry after few activation cycles. The values of the hydrogen coefficient in MmNi3.55Mn0.4Al0.3Co0.75-x Fex ( x = 0, 0.15, 0.35, 0.55 and 0.75) are, respectively, equal to 5.86 10-10, 1.95 10-9, 3.44 10-9, 2.96 10-9 and 4.98 10-10 cm2 s-1. However, the values of the charge transfer coefficients are respectively equal to 0.35, 0.6, 0.5, 0.33 and 0.3. These results showed that the substitution of cobalt by iron decreases the reversibility and the kinetic of the electrochemical reaction in these alloys.
Inhibitory Effect of Some Carbazides on Corrosion of Aluminium in Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide Solutions
The dissolution of aluminium in hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions in the presence of semicarbazide, thiosemicar- bazide and sym.dipheny1carbazide as corrosion inhibitors has been studied using thermometric, weight-loss and polarization methods. The three methods gave consistent results. The higher inhibition efficiency of these compounds in acidic than in alkaline madia may be due to the less negative potential of aluminium in hydrochloric acid solution, favouring adsorption of the additive.The adsorption of these compounds were found to obey Frurnkin adsorption isotherm. Cathodic polarization measurements showed that these com- pounds are cathodic inhibitors and their adsorption in the double layer does not change the mechanism of the hydrogen evolution reaction. The results are analysed in terms of both molecular and cationic adsorption.

Fluorescence quenching of 5-methyl-2-phenylindole (MPI) by carbon tetrachlori...IOSR Journals
The fluorescence quenching of 5-methyl-2-phenylindole (MPI) by carbon tetrachloride by steady state in different solvents, and by transient method in benzene has been carried out at room temperature. The Stern–Volmer (SV) plot has been found to be non-linear with a positive deviation for all the solvents studied. In order to interpret these results we have invoked the ground state complex and sphere of action static quenching models. Using these models various rate parameters have been determined. The magnitudes of these parameters imply that sphere of action static quenching model agrees well with the experimental results. Hence the positive deviation in the SV plots is attributed to the static and dynamic quenching. Further, from the studies of temperature dependence of rate parameters and lifetime measurements, it could be explained that the positive deviation is due to the presence of a small static quenching component in the overall dynamic quenching. With the use of finite sink approximation model, it was possible to check whether these bimolecular reactions as diffusion limited and to estimate independently distance parameter R′ and mutual diffusion coefficient D. Finally an effort has been made to correlate the values of R′ and D with the values of the encounter distance R and the mutual diffusion coefficient D determined using the Edward's empirical relation and Stokes–Einstein relation.

In view of the medical and social problem caused by the increasing number of drug addicts the determination of opium alka-loids is of special importance. Morphine is known as a highly addictive and potent narcotic but drug users prefer heroin because of its more intense immediate effect. As heroin is hydrolysed in the organism to morphine the knowledge of the morphine content of biological fluids and tissues is indispensable for forensic and therapeutic purposes. The methods recently used for the determination of morphine in urine are gas-liquid chromatography 1, high-pressure liquid chromatography with fluorimetric determination 2 and gas chromatography mass spectrometry 3. In this paper a simple and inexpensive kinetic method is presented , based on the decomposition of the coloured compound formed by the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with cobalt(II) and morphine, in the presence of carbonate buffer. There is a definite concentration range over which the decomposition rate of the compound mentioned is a linear function of the morphine concentration.

A Kinetic Determination of Ultramicro Quantities of
Manganese(II), Molybdenum(VI) and Tungsten(VI) on
the Basis of Their Catalytic Action on the Oxidation
of Azorubin S by Hydrogen Peroxide*
By

(Received June 24, 1977)
Continuing our investigations on a kinetic catalytic determina-
tion of ultramicro quantities of inorganic and organic substances 1-6
we have established in the present work that the oxidation of Azo-
rubin S by hydrogen peroxide in carbonate buffer is catalysed by
manganese(II), molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI). In order to de-
velop new kinetic methods for the determination of these elements,
as well as to find suitable indicator reactions for the determination
of ultramicro quantities of organic substances, in the present work
the kinetics of catalytic oxidation of Azorubin S by hydrogen per-
oxide has been studied, and methods for the determination of Mn(II),
Mo(VI) and W(VI) are described.
Numerous kinetic catalytic methods for the determination of
Mn(II), Mo(VI) and W(VI) have been reported in the literature.
Many of them have been listed in the monograph by Yatsimirskii v
Besides these methods, many others requiring the use of more or
less complex and expensive apparatus have been described. Morgan

studied by Hadjiioannou and Valkana 27 and Omarova et al. 2s. In
the works quoted, manganese(II), molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI)
were determined in concentration ranges of 8 • • 10 -1,
2 • 10-4--3 • 10-1 and 6 • 10-3--7 #g/ml, respectively.
Results and Discussion
The kinetic investigations showed that in all the cases observed
the solution absorbance was a linear function of time. This means
that irrespective of the catalyst used the reaction is of zero order
with respect to Azorubin S. We determined the kinetics of oxidation
of Azorubin S by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of Mn(II),
Mo(VI) and W(VI) as catalyst in the usual way, i.e. by following
the variation of tan c~ with concentration of the component in-
vestigated, at constant concentration of all other components taking
part in the reaction. Since in all the cases observed a linear rela-
tionship was found between tan c~ and catalyst concentration, it
may be concluded that all the reactions investigated are of first
order with respect to catalyst.
Study of Reaction Kinetics and Determination
Manganese(H). Investigating the buffer component of the system,
we established that the reaction rate is considerably higher when
a solution of ammonium carbonate is used than for a carbonate
buffer of the same concentration and pH-value prepared from sodium
carbonate and bicarbonate. Therefore all subsequent experiments
were carried out with an ammonium carbonate medium, which re-
presents a combined buffer: NH4+/NH3 and HCO~-/CO32-. The
reaction studied is first order with respect to the concentration of
ammonium carbonate, while the reaction order with respect to
hydrogen peroxide is complex: at peroxide concentrations lower
than 4 • 10-2 M the reaction is of first order with respect to hydro-
gen peroxide, whereas at higher concentrations it is of zero order.
Thus we arrive, for concentrations of hydrogen peroxide lower than
4 • 10 -2 M, at the equation:
dc
dt =k~ [Mn] [H202] [(NH4)zCO3]; /~= (36 + 3) x 10 -z
3. A Kinetic Determination of Ultramicro Quantities 299
From this kinetic expression it may be concluded that the reac-
tion rate (and hence the sensitivity of the method) may be increased
by increasing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide up to
4 x 10 .2 M, as well as by increasing the buffer concentration. In
accordance with this the initial concentrations of the components
in determining manganese(II) were chosen to be Azorubin S,
4 x 10 -v M; hydrogen peroxide, 4 x 10 -2 M and ammonium carbon-
ate 0.8 M at pH 9.35. The equation for the calibration curve was
--tane=2.69x10-4XCMn+2.43x10 4, where CMn is in ng/ml.
The results obtained are given in Table I. It is seen that Mn(II)

that Cu(II), V(V), Fe(III) and Cr(III), if present at considerably higher

Molybdenum(W). The reaction rate was found to be the same
for both ammonium carbonate and sodium carbonate/bicarbonate
buffers of the same concentration and pH-value. Therefore we
4. 300 M.A. Sekheta et al.:
decided to use the latter buffer, since it makes it possible to vary
the pH-value of the solution over a definite range. The reaction
is found to be of zero order with respect to buffer concentration.
The dependence of reaction rate on pH is complex: at pH-values
lower than 9.5 the reaction order with respect to hydrogen ion con-
centration is -0.25, whereas at higher pH-values it is of zero order.
It has also been established that the reaction is of first order with
respect to hydrogen peroxide over the entire range investigated (up
to 6 x 10 -~ M). At pH-values lower than 9.5, the following kinetic
equation is valid:
dc
d t =k~ [Mo] [H20~] [H30+] 0.~a; /~= (19 _+1) x 10 7
From this expression it is seen that the reaction rate may be
increased by increasing the hydrogen peroxide concentration and
the pH (up to 9.5). Accordingly we chose the following initial
concentrations of the components: Azorubin S, 4 x 10 -7 M; hydro-
gen peroxide, 5.9 x 10 ~M; 8 x10 -~ M buffer at pH 10.3. The
equation for the calibration curve was - tan ~ = 6.41 x 10-4 • CM ~ +
5.43 x 10 -4, where CMo is in #g/ml. The results obtained are also
given in Table I. It is seen that Mo(VI) was determined at concen-
trations varying between 1.3 and 8.1/~g/ml, with a relative standard
deviation less than 9%. V(V), Fe(III), Cr(III), Cu(II) and W(VI) do
not interfere even when present in concentrations substantially
higher than that of Mo(VI).
Tungsten(VI),The reaction rate is again higher in ammonium
carbonate medium. The reaction order with respect to ammonium
carbonate is 0.25 (the ammonium carbonate concentration in these
experiments was varied between 0.08 M and 0.8 M). The dependence
of reaction order on the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is
complex: at peroxide concentrations lower than 4 x 10 -2 M the
reaction is of first order with respect to hydrogen peroxide, while
at higher concentrations it is of zero order. The following kinetic
expression is valid for hydrogen peroxide concentrations lower than
4x10 2M:
dc
dt -~ [W] [H202] [(NH4)2CO8]~ /~ = (4.5 _+0.2) x 10-4
We therefore chose the following initial concentrations of the
components: Azorubin S, 4 x 10 -7 M; hydrogen peroxide, 4 x 10 2M
and ammonium carbonate 0.8 M (pH 9.35). The equation for the
calibration curve was -tan e = 1.51 x 10 -4 x Cw +5.94 x 10 4, where

Cw is in #g/ml. The results obtained are again presented in Table I.
W(VI) was determined at concentrations ranging from 5.9 to
44.1#g/ml with a relative standard deviation less than 5%. V(V),
Fe(III), Cr(III), Cu(II) and Mo(VI), if present in small concentrations,
do not interfere.
The methods proposed are very simple to use, since there is a
linear relation between the solution absorbance and time. The un-
catalysed reaction causes a small intercept on the ordinate of the
plot of tan a vs metal concentration.
Also an ordinary photoelectric colorimeter can be used. The
catalytic oxidation of Azorubin S by hydrogen peroxide in the
presence of Mo(VI) as catalyst appears to be of special interest,
since, in contrast to other methods described in the literature, it is
carried out in alkaline medium. This makes it possible to have the
molybdenum coordinated to weak organic acids, which would be
impossible in acidic medium. Since the catalytic activity of a metal
is, as a rule, very different from that of its complexes, this means
that the oxidation of Azorubin S by hydrogen peroxide in the pres-
ence of Mo(VI) as catalyst would be applicable as an indicator reac-
tion for the determination of organic compounds of slightly acidic
character. An investigation of new kinetic catalytic methods for the
determination of ultramicro quantities of pharmacologically interest-
ing polyhydroxyl phenols is in progress.
Experimental
The rate of oxidation of Azorubin S by hydrogen peroxide was
followed photometrically on an Iskra (Kranj) MA 9501 colorimeter
fitted with a constant-temperature cell-holder. The reaction was
done as follows. In a reaction vessel with three compartments, the
solutions of Azorubin S and buffer were measured into one com-
partment, catalyst into the second, and hydrogen peroxide diluted
with water to 25 ml in the third compartment. The vessel was kept
for 15 min at a temperature of 25 _+0.1 o C. The reaction was then
initiated by vigorous mixing and the solution was transferred to
test-tubes. The absorbance of the solution was measured every
minute over a period of 10 rain from the onset of reaction, a blue
filter (2max at 540 rim) being used. The following relationship was
found to exist between the measured absorbance of the solution
(A) and the concentration (C) of Azorubin S:
A = 1.4 x 106 C.
6. 302 M.A. Sekheta et aI.:
All the solutions were prepared from analytical grade chemicals
and water redistilled in a quartz apparatus.
Carbonate buffer was prepared by mixing 0.2 M sodium car-
bonate and 0.2 M sodium bicarbonate; 2 M ammonium carbonate
was also used for preparing the buffer.
Standard solutions of Mn(II) were diluted with i x 10 -a M
hydrochloric acid, and those of Mo(VI) and W(VI) were diluted
with 1 x 10 -a M potassium nitrate to prevent adsorption on the
glass ware.
The vessels were cleaned with warm 6 M hydrochloric acid and
than rinsed successively with tap, distilled and redistilled water.

Summary
A Kinetic Determination o[ Ultramicro Quantities of Manganese(II),
Molybdenum(W) and Tungsten(W) on the Basis of Their Catalytic
Action on the Oxidation of Azorubin S by Hydrogen Peroxide
A study has been made of the kinetics of catalytic oxidation
of Azorubin S by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of Mn(II),
Mo(VI) and W(VI) in order to find optimal conditions for the
kinetic catalytic determination of these elements. Manganese(II),
molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) were determined in the concen-
tration ranges 5.5--33.0 x 10 a, 1.3--8.1 and 5.9--44.1 #g/ml, re-
spectively. Standard deviations were less than 11%. The effect of
some foreign ions on these determinations was also investigated.
