The deuterium-to-hydrogen ratio (D/H) in water found in the coma of Jupiter family comet (JFC) 67P/ Churyumov–Gerasimenko was reported to be (5.3±0.7)×10, the highest among comets and three times the value for other JFCs with an ocean-like ratio. This discrepancy suggests the diverse origins of JFCs and clouds the issue of the origin of Earth’s oceanic water. Here we demonstrate that Eley–R...

Direct or Eley-Rideal reactions between energetic N^{+} and O^{+} projectiles and O atoms, adsorbed onto Pt and Pd surfaces, are studied experimentally at incidence energies between 20 and 200 eV. The exit energies of the diatomic molecular products NO and O_{2} depend linearly on the incidence energy of the corresponding projectiles. A reaction mechanism is proposed, where the incident project...

The kinetics of the simultaneous syntheses ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) and butyl (BTBE) over Amberlyst™ 35 (A35) has been studied at 315–353 K in liquid phase. Different kinetic modeling approaches—namely, empirical power-law modeling, mechanistic based on Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) Eley-Rideal (ER) formalisms, information-based modeling—have compared. Empirical equations yield...

The aim of this work is to evaluate the performance stirring 3D Fe/Al2O3 monolithic reactor in batch operation applied liquid-phase hydroxylation phenol by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). An experimental and numerical investigation was carried out at following operating conditions: CPHENOL,0 = 0.33 M, CH2O2,0 T 75–95 °C, P 1 atm, ? 200–500 rpm WCAT ~ 1.1 g. kinetic model described consumption H2O2 a ...
