Kinetics of Fe2O3-Al reaction prior to mechanochemical synthesis of Fe3Al-Al2O3 nanocomposite powder using thermal analysis

The effect of ball milling on kinetics of the thermite reaction of 3Fe2O3 + 8Al powder mixture to synthesizeFe3Al-Al2O3 nanocomposite was investigated using differential thermal analysis. A model-free methodwas applied to the non-isothermal differential calorimetry (DSC) data to evaluate the reaction kineticsaccording to the Starink method. The activation energy of the thermit...

Adiabatic Reaction Calorimetry

Enzyme-catalyzed and binding reaction kinetics determined by titration calorimetry.

BACKGROUND Isothermal calorimetry allows monitoring of reaction rates via direct measurement of the rate of heat produced by the reaction. Calorimetry is one of very few techniques that can be used to measure rates without taking a derivative of the primary data. Because heat is a universal indicator of chemical reactions, calorimetry can be used to measure kinetics in opaque solutions, suspens...

Disequilibrium calorimetry for determination of ultrasonic power in sonochemistry

The two most characteristic properties of an ultrasonic wave are the frequency and the power. It is therefore important to determine the power in a given reactor. This can be done by calorimetry, i.e. by measuring the temperature rise in the vessel during sonication starting at thermal equilibrium with the surroundings (classic calorimetry) [1-3]. However, the classic ultrasonic calorimetry has...

Study of the thermal behavior of azidohetarenes with differential scanning calorimetry.

Thermal properties of azidohetarenes without reactive ortho-substituents, obtained by DSC analysis, were compared with the DSC data of ortho-phenyl and ortho-acyl substituted azidohetarenes, which give ring closure reactions either to indoles or to five-membered heterocycles such as isoxazoles. The reaction temperatures and reaction enthalpies give both information to prepare the reaction condi...

Kinetic analysis of gluconate phosphorylation by human gluconokinase using isothermal titration calorimetry.

Gluconate is a commonly encountered nutrient, which is degraded by the enzyme gluconokinase to generate 6-phosphogluconate. Here we used isothermal titration calorimetry to study the properties of this reaction. ΔH, KM and kcat are reported along with substrate binding data. We propose that the reaction follows a ternary complex mechanism, with ATP binding first. The reaction is inhibited by gl...
