This study presents the theory and kinetics of electrochemical dlegradation of resorcinol in the presence of chloride using Tifl'i02 Ru02 Ir02 electrode. The rate constant is affected by chloride concentration, initial resorcinol concentration and current density. The rate of electrochemical oxidation is found to be a pseudo first order kinetic process. The maximum rate of reaction is obtained ...

We have evaluated the Technicon AutoAnalyzer method, the Beckman Creatinine Analyzer II, DuPont aca, Electro-Nucleonics GEMSAEC, and Instrumentation Laboratory Model 916 kinetic methods for determination of serum creatinine. These methods, which involve the Jaffé reaction, all showed a statistically significant proportional error relative to an ion-exchange pretreatment method for creatinine in...

A new process to leach and recover copper from solid waste using electric fields was designed. The leaching with electro migration is presented as an alternative to traditional leaching. Preliminary data indicate that the copper ion migration is facilitated by using the electrical potential difference; therefore applying a potential difference in the processes of leaching facilitates the remova...

The unique concept of the Self-energising Electro-Hydraulic Brake (SEHB) uses the vehicles kinetic energy as independent brake booster by the principle of self-energisation. This paper presents a new approach for controller synthesis of SEHB using the method of input-output linearisation on basis of a complexity reduced model. Once the control design is achieved, the developed controller is ver...

Nanometer-thick Langmuir–Schäfer monolayers of an electron transporting polymer display charge transport, optical and electro-optical properties that do not depend on the number of layers deposited one above the other. This phenomenon can be rationalized with the micro-structure of the specific multi-layers, which introduces an interlayer hopping penalty confining transport to a neat 2D regime,...

Abstract Molecular Hamiltonians are constituted by momentum operators (e.g. kinetic energy and interaction with electro-magnetic radiation), local potential operators (e.g. electron-electron coulomb, electron-nucleus and electron-external field interactions) and spin operators. In general the effect of transformations that generate states from a reference state is to destroy this form. Here it ...

A diffusion-kinetic model is presented for an enzyme-modified microcylinder electrode, where the enzyme reaction generates an electro-active product. Simple, approximate expressions are derived for the steady-state current in cases where the enzyme is immobilized in a metallically conducting, or a non-conducting matrix. The model is also extended to the chemical sensor case, of a conducting pol...

Wastewater treatment is gaining importance because of increasing awareness about health effects of water pollutants and stringent norms of regulatory bodies. Removal of heavy metals from industrial effluent can be carried out by various methods like ion exchange, adsorption, activated sludge process, electro coagulation, membrane separation processes, precipitation, coagulation etc. Arsenic is ...
