The combustion process within a porous inert medium (PIM) burner is numerical studied. A detailed chemical reaction scheme including thermal and prompt NO$_{x}$ reactions is used to predict the formation and destruction of pollutants such as NO$_{x}$ and CO. The reaction paths for NO$_{x}$ formation are divided to quantify the amount of NO$_{x}$ formed through thermal NO$_{x}$ reaction or through prompt NO$_{x}$ reaction. Emission index is calculated to compare the actual mass of NO$_{x}$ or CO produced through the combustion of unit mass of fuel. It is found NO formation in PIM burner is confined in flame zone and formation is suppressed due to heat loss at down-stream of the flame. Higher production of NO through prompt NO reaction path is observed due to the higher concentration of fuel derivative species and its higher diffusion at flame front. For all equivalence ratios, CO emission within PIM burner is lower than that from the one-dimensional freely-propagating flame. PIM burner flame has better NO$_{x}$ emission index from .psi. = 0.75 to .psi. = 1.1. to .psi. = 1.1.

The reaction of FeC5H5+ ion with ferrocene molecule is investigated using FT-ICR mass spectrometry. FeC5H5+ ions are generated by dissociative ionization of ferrocenes using an electron beam. The reaction gives rise to the formation of the adduct ion, Fe2(C5H5)3+, in competition with charge transfer reaction leading to the formation of ferrocene molecular ion, Fe(C5H5)2+·. The branching ratio of the adduct ion increases as the internal energy of the reactant ion decreases and correspondingly the branching ratio for the charge transfer reaction product decreases. The observed rate of the addition reaction channel is slower than that of the charge transfer reaction. The observation of the stable adduct ions in the low-pressure ICR cell is attributed to the radiative cooling of the activated ion-molecule complex. The mechanism of the reaction is presented to account for the observed experimental results.

The biologically active compounds raphasatin and sulforaphene are formed during the hydrolysis of radishes by an endogenous myrosinase. Raphasatin is very unstable, and it is generated and simultaneously degraded to less active compounds during hydrolysis in aqueous media. This study determined the hydrolysis conditions to maximize the formation of raphasatin and sulforaphene by an endogenous myrosinase and minimize their degradation during the hydrolysis of radish roots. The reaction parameters, such as the reaction medium, reaction time, type of mixing, and reaction temperature were optimized. A stability test for raphasatin and sulforaphene was also performed during storage of the hydrolyzed products at $25^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. The formation and breakdown of raphasatin and sulforaphene in radish roots by endogenous enzymolysis was strongly influenced by the reaction medium, reaction time, and type of mixing. The production and stabilization of raphasatin in radishes was efficient in water and dichloromethane with shaking for 15 min at $25^{\circ}C$. For sulforaphene, the favorable condition was water as the reaction medium without shaking for 10 min at $25^{\circ}C$. The maximum yields of raphasatin and sulforaphene were achieved in a concurrent hydrolysis reaction without shaking in water for 10 min and then with shaking in dichloromethane for 15 min at $25^{\circ}C$. Under these conditions, the yields of raphasatin and sulforaphene were maximized at 12.89 and $1.93{\mu}mol/g$ of dry radish, respectively. The stabilities of raphasatin and sulforaphene in the hydrolyzed products were 56.4% and 86.5% after 10 days of storage in water and dichloromethane at $25^{\circ}C$.

This study was carried out to understand the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD) by pyrophyllite (so-called Napseok)-rainwater interaction (weathering), dispersion patterns of heavy metals, and patterns of mixing with non-polluted water in the Tongnae pyrophyllite mine. Based on the mass balance and reaction path modeling, using both the geochemistry of water and occurrence of the secondary minerals (weathering products), the geochemical evolution of AMD was simulated by computer code of SOLVEQ and CHILLER. It shows that the pH of stream water is from 6.2 to 7.3 upstream of the Tongnae mine. Close to the mine, the pH decreases to 2. Despite being diluted with non-polluted tributaries, the acidity of mine drainage water maintains as far as downstream. The results of modeling of water-rock interaction show that the activity of hydrogen ion increases (pH decreases), the goncentration of ${HCO_3}^-$ decreases associated with increasing $H^+$ activity, as the reaction is processing. The concentration of ${SO_4}^{2-}$first increases minutely, but later increases rapidly as pH drops below 4.3. The concentrations of cations and heavy metals are controlled by the dissolution of reactants and re-dissolution of derived species (weathering products) according to the pH. The continuous adding of reactive minerals, namely the progressively larger degrees of water-rock interaction, causes the formation of secondary minerals in the following sequence; goethite, then Mn-oxides, then boehmite, then kaolinite, then Ca-nontronite, then Mgnontronite, and finally chalcedony. The results of reaction path modeling agree well with the field data, and offer useful information on the geochemical evolution of AMD. The results of reaction path modeling on the formation of AMD offer useful information for the estimation and the appraisal of pollution caused by water-rock interaction as geological environments. And also, the ones can be used as data for the choice of appropriate remediation technique for AMD.

Numerical simulations of freely propagating premixed flames burning mixtures of methane and chlorinated hydrocarbons in fuel are performed at atmospheric pressure in order to understand the effect of chlorinated hydrocarbons on the formation of nitrogen oxide. A detailed chemical reaction mechanism is used, the adopted scheme involving 89 gas-phase species and 1017 elementary forward reaction steps. Chlorine atoms available from chlorinated hydrocarbons inhibit the formation of nitrogen oxides by lowering the concentration of radical species. The reduction of NO emission index calculated with thermal or prompt NO mechanism is not linear and is probably related to the saturation effect as $CH_3Cl$ addition is increased, In the formation or consumption of nitrogen oxide, the $NO_2$ and NOCl reactions play an important role in lean flames while the HNO reactions do in rich flames. The molar ratio of Cl to H in fuel has an effect on the magnitude of NO emission index.

The reaction mechanism of Lead ions catalyzing complexation reactions between TIPP and metal ions was investigated by researching the kinetics of the formation of metalloporphyrins by UV/Vis-spectra, and verified by exploring the formation of metalloporphyrins catalyzed by acetic acid. Kinetics studies suggested that the fluctuations of reaction rate indicated the formation of metalloporphyrin was step-wise, including the pre-equilibrium step (the coordination of the pyrrolenine nitrogens to $Mn^+$) and the rate-controlling step (the deprotonation of the pyrrole proton). In the pre-equalization step, a sitting-atop (SAT) structure formed first with the complexation between larger radius of $Pb^{2+}$ and TIPP, changed the activation, then $Pb^{2+}$ left with the smaller radius of metal ions attacking from the back of the porphyrin ring center. In the rate-controlling step, two pyrrole protons dissociated to restore a stable structure. This was verified by adding acetic acid at different reaction times.

The bromate-1,4-cyclohexanedione-ferroin oscillating reactions are uncovered to support two types of wave activities, in which spontaneous formation of circular waves has been achieved after the disappearance of initial waves. The induction period of the revival wave is typically above 10 hours and its dependence on the initial concentrations of reactants is qualitatively different from that of initial waves. In addition to their differences in propagating speed and wavelength, the initial waves and the revival patterns have different colors, suggesting that different reaction mechanisms are involved in the formation of these spatiotemporal behaviors. Our experiments further show that the addition of hydroquinone to the reacting system can significantly shorten the induction time of the revival wave, which implicates that hydroquinone is not only a product in the bromate-1,4-cyclohexanedione-ferroin oscillating reaction but also plays a critical role in the following reactions.

This study was conducted to remove the reactive dyes by the Ozone demand flask method which are one of the main pollutants in dye wastewater, Ozone oxidation of three kinds of the reactive dyes was examined to investigate the reactivity of dyes with ozone, Trihalomethane formation potentials(THMFPs), competition reaction and ozone utilization on various conditions for single- and multi-solute dye solution. Concentration of dyes was decreased continuously with increasing ozone dosage in the single-solute dye solutions. THMFPs per unit dye concentration were gradually increased with increase of ozone dosage. By the result of THMFPs change with reaction time, THMFPs were rapidly decreased within 1 minute in single-solute dye solutions. Dey were increased after 1 minute of reaction time, and then they were consistently decreased again after longer reaction time. Competition quotient values were calculated to investigate the preferential oxidation of individual dyes in multi-solute dye solutions. Competition quotients$(CQ_i)$ and values of the overall utilization efficiency, no$_3$, were increased at 40mg/1 of ozone dosage in multi-solute dye solutions.

The changed isotropic absolute Raman intensities of the phosphate residue in the complexes of positive charge oligopeptides, lys-lys, arg-arg, lys-aromat-lys, negative charge diethyl phosphoric acid (DEP) and polyriboadenylic acid{poly(rA)} were reported and discussed. Our measurements showed that the absolute intensities of phosphate stretch vibration in complexes were different according to the reaction partners. Due to the partial electrical charge and molecular structure of oligopeptides for the complex formation lysine can interact more strongly than arginine when the reaction partners have short chain and no steric hindrance. Owing to these reasons the intensity of phosphate stretching vibration is very sensitive according to the circumstance of reaction. From our results we could suggest that we can discriminate any one of the the lysine and arginine in the complicated biological molecule during interaction between nucleotides and proteins. The activity of reaction of two basical oligopeptides is not quite similar for complex formation in aqueous solution. The activity of dipeptides depends upon the structure of molecule and environment for complex formation. Aromatic ring contributes to electrostatic interaction in complexes. The amount of the absolute intensity for pure stacking interaction is smaller than electrostatic interaction in macromolecular complexes.

The photochemical reaction of aqueous dichloromethane in the absence (saturated with argon) and the presence of O2 (saturated with air or oxygen) has been investigated using 184.9 nm UV light. The irradiation of the solution causes the formation of 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane and chloride ion. The initial quantum yield of the products in the absence of oxygen was determined to be 8.6 × 10-3, 7.3 × 10-3, 4.4 × 10-3 and 2.3 × 10-2, respectively. In addition to these main products, small amounts of 1,2,3-trichloropropane, 1,1,2,2,3-pentachloropropane, 1,1,2,3,3-pentachloropropane, 1,3-dichloropropane and 1,1,2,2,3,3-hexachloropropane were detected. In the presence of oxygen, hydrogen peroxide was also detected along with the products listed above. With increasing the concentration of oxygen, while formation of the chlorinated organic products diminished, formation of chloride ion increased. Probable reaction mechanisms for the photochemical reaction were presented on the basis of products analysis.
