The dissolution kinetics for polymorphs of sulpiride, the effect of polyethylene glycol 4000 on the dissolution kinetics of sulpiride polymorphs and the dissolution rate difference between the tablets of polymorph form I and form II were investigated. The results could be summerized as followings: 1. The dissolution rates of two polymorphs of sulpiride were significantly different and the thermodynamic parameters calculated from dissolution kinetics were as follows; transition temperature $98^{\circ}C$, enthalpy change, -2.108 kcal/mole, free energy change, -783 cal/mole $(31.0^{\circ}C)$. 2. The dissolution rates of the two polymorphs of sulpiride containing polyethylene glycol 4000 were significantly diefferent in 0.01N HCl but the effect of polyethylene glycol on the dissolution rates of two polymorphs was not significant at low concentration of polyethylene glycol 4000. The study on the effect by stirring speed showed that at lower stirring speed the promotion rate of dissolution of polymorph form I is greater than that of form II. 3. In the case of tablets the dissolution rates of polymorph form I of sulpiride was two fold as compared with the results obtained from form II.

Isopropyl mercaptan is an important pharmaceutical intermediate and chemical material. And thiourea and triglycol are the main materials for the synthesis of isopropyl mercaptan. Therefore the dissolution of thiourea in triglycol solution is very important for the production of isopropyl mercaptan. The aims of this study are to examine the dissolution kinetics of thiourea in triglycol solution, and to present an alternative process for producing isopropyl mercaptan. In order to investigate the dissolution kinetics of thiourea in triglycol solution, the concentrations of solution and reaction temperature were selected as experimental parameters. It was determined that the dissolution rate of thiourea increased with the increase in solution concentration and temperature. An empirical equation was used in fitting the data. Statistical analysis indicated small errors and the results should be reliable.

The capacity of passive metal to repassivate after film damage determines the development of local corrosion and the resistance to corrosion failures. In this work, the repassivation kinetics of 316L stainless steel (316L SS) was investigated in borate buffer solution (pH 9.1) using a novel abrading electrode technique. The repassivation kinetics was analyzed in terms of the current density flowing from freshly bare 316L SS surface as measured by a potentiostatic method. During the early phase of decay (t < 2 s), according to the Avrami kinetics-based film growth model, the transient current was separated into anodic dissolution ($i_{diss}$) and film formation ($i_{film}$) components and analyzed individually. The film reformation rate and thickness were compared according to applied potential. Anodic dissolution initially dominated the repassivation for a short time, and the amount of dissolution increased with increasing applied potential in the passive region. Film growth at higher potentials occurred more rapidly compared to at lower potentials. Increasing the applied potential from 0 $V_{SCE}$ to 0.8 $V_{SCE}$ resulted in a thicker passive film (0.12 to 0.52 nm). If the oxide monolayer covered the entire bare surface (${\theta}=1$), the electric field strength through the thin passive film reached $1.6{\times}10^7V/cm$.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of sodium lauryl sulfate upon the saturation solubility of carbamazepine, its dissolution kinetics, and $T_{50\%}$ defined as the time required for dissolving $50\%$ of carbamazepine. Water, 0.1N-HCI, and phosphate buffers at pH 4.0 and 6.8 containing 0.1, 0.5, 1, and $2\%$ sodium lauryl sulfate were used as dissolution media. The dissolution study was conducted by using the USP dissolution apparatus II with an agitation rate of 75 rpm. Samples of the dissolution media were taken in 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 min, and the amounts of carbamazepine were determined spectrophotometrically at 285 nm. All dissolution data were fitted well into a four-parameter exponential equation: $Q\;=\;a(1\;-\;e^{-bxt})\;+\;c(1\;-\;e^{-dxt})$. In this equation Q represented $\%$ carbamazepine dissolved at a time t, and a, b, c, and d were constants. This equation led to the calculation of dissolution rates at various time points and $T_{50\%}$. It was found that the dissolution rate of carbamazepine was directly proportional to the aqueous concentration of sodium lauryl sulfate. In addition, under our experimental conditions $T_{50%}$ values ranged from 37.8 to 4.9 min. It was interesting to note that $T_{50\%}$ declined rapidly as the surfactant concentration increased from 0.1 to $0.5\%$, whereas it declined more slowly at concentrations greater than $1\%$. These results clearly demonstrated that the dissolution rate of carbamazepine and duration of its dissolution test could be tailored by optimizing the amount of sodium lauryl sulfate in a dissolution medium.

A kinetics study on the dissolution reaction of zinc-ferrite has been made with aqueous sulfuric acid in various temperature and concentration. Fraction reacted(R) and apparent rate constant(K) increased with increasing temperature and concentration of sulfuric acid solution. The rate of dissolution is shown by $1-(1-K)^{1/3}=Kt$ for the initial stage of the reaction in aqueous sulfuric acid, where K is apparent rate constant, R is fraction reacted and t is reaction time, respectively. Activation energy associated with reaction was determined to be 16.3 kcal/mole. The dissolution of zinc-ferrite in sulfuric acid solution is dissolved by sto-ichiometric composition, but Fe and Zn did not dissolved, respectively.

A metallurgical model for the prediction of prior austenite grain size considering the dissolution kinetics of M$_3$C precipitates at the heat affected zone of SA508-cl.3 was proposed. The isothermal kinetics of grain growth and dissolution were respectively described by well-known equation, $dD/dT=M({\Delta}F_{eff})^M$ and Whelan's analytical model. The isothermal grain growth experiments were carried out for measure the kinetic parameters of grain growth. The precipitates of the base metal and the specimens exposed to thermal cycle were examined by TEM-carbon extraction replica method. The model was assessed by the comparison of BUE simulation experiments and showed good consistencies. However, there was no difference between the model considering and ignoring $M_3C$ precipitates. It seems considered that pinning force exerted by $M_3C$ Precipitates was lower than driving force for grain growth due to large size and small fraction of precipitates, and mobility of grain boundary was low in the lower temperature range.

The pore structure of uranium-bearing sandstone is one of the critical factors that affect the uranium leaching performance. In this article, uranium-bearing sandstone from the Yili Basin, Xinjiang, China, was taken as the research object. The fractal characteristics of the pore structure of the uranium-bearing sandstone were studied using mercury intrusion experiments and fractal theory, and the fractal dimension of the uranium-bearing sandstone was calculated. In addition, the effect of the fractal characteristics of the pore structure of the uranium-bearing sandstone on the uranium leaching kinetics was studied. Then, the kinetics was analyzed using a shrinking nuclear model, and it was determined that the rate of uranium leaching is mainly controlled by the diffusion reaction, and the dissolution rate constant (K) is linearly related to the pore specific surface fractal dimension (D_S) and the pore volume fractal dimension (D_V). Eventually, fractal kinetic models for predicting the in-situ leaching kinetics were established using the unreacted shrinking core model, and the linear relationship between the fractal dimension of the sample's pore structure and the dissolution rate during the leaching was fitted.

The sustained-release micropellets containing rifampicin were prepared by spray congealing micropelleting technique using gelatin as the embedding matrix, and hardened by treating with the formalin-isopropanol mixture. Dissolution of rifampicin from micropellets was significantly retarded, and greatly dependent on formalin concentration, hardening time and pH of the dissolution medium. It was found that this prolongation was more distinguished in pH 1.2 dissolution medium rather than pH 7.4, which might be attributed to the swelling characteristics of gelatin used in the dissolution medium. In-vitro dissolution kinetics indicated that the drug release followed the first-order process.
