The kinetics of the oxidation reaction of malonic acid by ceric ion in 1 M sulfuric acid solution at $20^{\circ}C$ have been investigated by spectrophotometric method. The reaction rate at a large excess of malonic acid was found to be pseudo-first order. The observed pseudo-first order rate constants, $k_{obs}$, are dependent on the concentration of malonic acid, [MA], of which relationship has been found to be $k_{obs}$ = (0.592[MA])/(1+14.5[MA]$^2$). A mechanism for the reaction has been suggested on the basis of the above rate equation. The rate determining step may be the electron transfer reaction between enolate type malonate anion, which is formed by the acid dissociation reaction of malonic acid, and Ce(IV). The rate depression in the range of high concentration of MA has been explained by the formation of 1 : 2 chelate between Ce(IV) and malonate. According to the mechanism, the pH dependence of the rate, which was studied by Sengupta et al., has also been explained.

The kinetics of ester interchange reaction of dimethyl naphthalate(DMN) with ethylene glycol(EG) has been studied in the range of 180-200 $^{\circ}C$ using zinc and manganese catalysts. The reaction was performed in a semibatch reactor under nonisothermal condition and the degree of reaction was calculated from experimental data of methanol removal rate and reaction temperature. As a reaction model, both the functional group model and the molecular species model were applied and analysed. In case of zinc catalyst, the ratio of reaction rate of methyl hydroxyethyl naphthalate(MHEN) with EG on that of DMN with EG is about 1.4, whereas in case of manganese catalyst the ratio is about 4.3, which implies that the reaction rate is quite dependent on the type of catalyst. In case of zinc catalyst, the reaction order of catalyst concentration on either DMN or MHEN and EG is less than 1, whereas in case of manganese catalyst, the reaction order is larger than 1. The activation energy for zinc and manganese catalyst, irrespective of the type of molecular species, e.g., DMN and MHEN, were found to be 25000 and 28750 cal/mol, respectively. As a result of comparing two reaction model, the molecular species model fits well for the experimental data.

An high-speed isothermal calorimeter which can trace the progress of a liquid phase reversible reaction was constructed using analog and digital computer. By means of a set point change of the calorimeter, the thermal energy capacity and the heat of reaction in reversible reaction mixture can be measured. The heat of reaction between 2-methyl furan and maleic anhydride and the heat capacities of the adduct were 61,200 J/mol and 2.38 J/ g K, respectively. Also reaction equilibrium constant and reaction rate constants can be estimated from the response curves of the calorimeter.

A low-molecular-weight poly(lactic acid) was synthesized through the condensation reaction of L-lactic acid. The effects that the catalyst and temperature have on the reaction rate were studied to determine the optimum reaction conditions. The reaction kinetics increased with temperature up to $210^{\circ}C$, but no further increase was observed above this temperature. Among a few selective catalysts, sulfuric acid was the most effective because it maximized the polymerization reaction rate. Reduction of the pressure was another important factor that enhanced this reactions kinetics.

In this study, kinetics data was obtained for steam reforming reaction of ethane over the nickel catalyst. The variables of steam reforming reaction were reaction temperature, partial pressure of ethane, and mole ratio of steam and ethane. Parameters for the power rate law kinetic model and the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model were obtained from the kinetic data. Also, sizing of steam reforming reactor was performed by using PRO/II simulator. For the steam reforming reaction of ethane, Langmuir-Hinshelwood model determining the reaction rate by the surface reaction was better suited than a simple power rate law kinetic model. On water-gas-shift reaction, power rate law kinetic model was well fitted to the kinetic data. Reactor size can be calculated for production of hydrogen through PRO/II simulation.

In this study, the reductive dechlorination of triclosan using zero-valent iron (ZVI, $Fe^0$) and modified zero-valent iron (i.e., acid-washed iron (Aw/Fe) and palladium-coated iron (Pd/Fe)) was experimentally investigated, and the reduction characteristics were evaluated by analyzing the reaction kinetics. Triclosan could be reductively decomposed using zero-valent iron. The degradation rates of triclosan were about 50% and 67% when $Fe^0$ and Aw/Fe were used as reductants, respectively, after 8 h of reaction. For the Pd/Fe system, the degradation rate was about 57% after 1 h of reaction. Thus, Pd/Fe exhibited remarkable performance in the reductive degradation of triclosan. Several dechlorinated intermediates were predicted by GC-MS spectrum, and 2-phenoxyphenol was detected as the by-product of the decomposition reaction of triclosan, indicating that reductive dechlorination occurred continuously. As the reaction proceeded, the pH of the solution increased steadily; the pH increase for the Pd/Fe system was smaller than that for the $Fe^0$ and Aw/Fe system. Further, zero-order, first-order, and second-order kinetic models were used to analyze the reaction kinetics. The first-order kinetic model was found to be the best with good correlation for the $Fe^0$ and Aw/Fe system. However, for the Pd/Fe system, the experimental data were evaluated to be well fitted to the second-order kinetic model. The reaction rate constants (k) were in the order of Pd/Fe > Aw/Fe > $Fe^0$, with the rate constant of Pd/Fe being much higher than that of the other two reductants.

Microinterface of W/Omicroemulsion prepared by phosphatidylcholine was used as reaction media of hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine by phospholipaseA$_2$. Phosphatidylcholine was used as an amphiphile and was acted as a substrate. Organic phase of W/Omicroemulsion in this study was prepared by mixed organic solvents i.e. 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (isooctane) as a main solvent and 1-butanol as a co-solvent. The effect of added 1-butanol was remarkable not only on reaction beginning but also on high reaction rate. The hydrolysis reaction was dramatically initiated when 1-butanol was injected into the running isooctane/PC system. The enhancement by 1-butanol addition into single organic solvent was our original finding compare with previous conventional organic solvent. The reaction rate was elevated by the added amount of 1-butanol. The enhanced reaction rate was about 150-folds. This enhancement was speculated as 1-butanol adsorption on the microinterface. The adsorbed 1-butanol improved the properties of microinterface, especially its mobility was increased by difference of the chain length between phosphatidylcholine and 1-butanol. PhospholipaseA$_2$ molecules were located on the microinterface due to modified mobility of microinterface. Located phospholipaseA$_2$ on the microinterface reacted easily with phosphatidylcholine molecule. As a result high reaction rate was obtained. Microinterfacial properties were successfully improved by adsorbed 1-butanol molecule, and were favorable to appear higher reactivity of phospholipaseA$_2$.

Research on the etching reaction of UO$_2$ with CF$_4$/O$_2$gas mixture plasma is carried out. The reaction rates are investigated as a function of CF$_4$/O$_2$ ratio, plasma power, and substrate temperature. It is found that there exists an optimum CF$_4$/O$_2$ ratio around 4:1 at all temperatures up to 37$0^{\circ}C$ and surface analysis using XPS X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) confirms the result. Peak rate at the optimum gas composition increases with increasing temperature. Highest rate obtained in this study leaches 1050 monolayers/min. at 37$0^{\circ}C$ under r. f. power of 150 W, which is equivalent to about 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/min. The rate also increases with increasing r. f. power, thus, higher power and higher substrate temperature will undoubtedly raise the etching reaction rate much further. This reaction seems to be an activated process, whose activation energy will be derived in the following experiments.

The characteristics of phenol removal and $UV_{254}$ matters variance were investigated and compared by the variation of operating factors (NaCl concentration, air flow rate, initial phenol concentration) in electrochemical reaction (ER) and dielectric barrier discharge plasma reaction (DBDPR), respectively. The phenol removal rate was shown as $1^{st}$ order both in ER and DBDPR. Also, the absorbance of $UV_{254}$ matters which means aromatic intermediates was analyzed to investigate the complete phenol degradation process. In ER, the phenol degradation and aromatic intermediates production rates increased by the increase of NaCl concentration. However, in DBDPR, the variation of NaCl concentration had no effect on the degradation of phenol and $UV_{254}$ matters. Air flow rate had a little effect on the removal of phenol and the variation of $UV_{254}$ matters in ER. The phenol removal rate in ER was a little higher than that in DBDPR. The produced $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$ amounts in ER were 2 times and 10 times higher than those in DBDPR. The chlorine intermediates ($ClO_2$ and free chlorine) were produced in ER, however, they were not produced in DBDPR.
