We propose a new kinetic model for surface segregation during vapor phase growth that takes into account multiple mechanisms for segregation, including mechanisms for inter-layer exchange and surface diffusion. The resulting behavior of the segregation length shows temperature and velocity dependence, both of which have been observed in experiments. We compare our analytic model to experimental...

The interpretation of stable isotope values hinges on precise, accurate estimates of kinetic isotope effects ( ), which are equal to k/k, where k and k are the reaction rate constants for the two isotopes. Kinetic isotope effects are commonly determined by monitoring the reactant concentration (C) and isotope ratio (R) relative to their initial values (C1 and R1, respectively). Values of are es...

2,3-dioxogulonic acid and the disodium salt of its enol were synthesised, isolated and identified both chemically and spectroscopically. A kinetic study was carried out on its equilibrium by means of the “stopped flow” method for rapid processes, and the rate constants for the forward and backward reaction were determined as a function of the pH of the medium. The kinetic coefficients involved,...

sorption reactions in many heterogeneous systems are important. adsorption is a time dependent process and knowing the adsorption rate is essential for designing, evaluating and recovering the adsorbents. at the present study, an ammonium adsorption kinetic experiment by some soils series of golestan provice, which is varying in mineralogical and textural properties was conducted using solution...

Determining kinetics of molecular binding reactions is important for characterizing biological processes and for predicting behavior of detection strategies that involve binding. We used the T-sensor and a numerical model to determine kinetic parameters (equilibrium binding and rate constants) of a bimolecular binding reaction between the fluorescent probe prodan and human serum albumin ()-ISA)...

Enzyme hydrolysis kinetic model of inulin by inulinase from Kluyveromyces lactis was established. The corresponding Michaelis-Menten equation model constants were found to be related to temperature through the Arrhenius model. The kinetic model was validated by experimental data and also be utilized to predict the hydrolysis reaction rates of the inulin for substrate concentrations ranging betw...

In this study chitosan hydrogel beads with porosity ~ 0.86 and diameter ~ 20.07 mm were prepared from 85 % deacetylated chitosan for removal of Cd2+ ions from aqueous solutions.  Chitosan powder was dissolved into dilute acetic acid as solvent and formed into spherical beads using a phase inversion technique. The effect of temperature, initial ...
