The kinetics of ruthenium(III) chloride catalyzed oxidation of butanone and uncatalyzed oxidation of cyclohexanone by cerium(IV) in sulphuric acid medium have been studied. The kinetic rate law(I) in case of butanone conforms to the proposed mechanism. $$-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[Ce^{IV}]}{dt}=\frac{kK[Ru^{III}][butanone]}{1+K[butanone]}$$ (1). However, oxidation of cyclohexanone in absence of catalyst accounts for the rate eqn. (2). $$-\frac{1}{2}\frac{[Ce^{IV}]}{dt}=\frac{(k_1+k_1K^'[H^+])[Ce^{IV}][Cyclohexanone]}{1+K_3[HSO_4^-]}$$ (2) Kinetics and activation parameters have been evaluated conventionally. Kinetically preferred mode of reaction is via ketonic and not the enolic forms.

Batch reactors were employed to investigate the kinetics of cellulose hydrolysis under extremely low acid (ELA) and high temperature condition. The sawdust was pretreated by Auto-hydrolysis prior to the batch reaction. The maximum yield of glucose obtained from the batch reactor experiment was about 70% for the pretreated sawdust, this occurred at 210 and 22$0^{\circ}C$. The maximum glucose yield from the untreated sawdust was much lower at these temperatures, about 55%. The maximum yields of glucose from the lignocellulosics were obtained between 15th and 20th minutes after which gradual decrease was observed.

Zeolites are microporous materials that find applications in different fields due to their numerous interesting properties. This research investigated the effect of leaching on unheated Ifon kaolin in dilute hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid. The hydrothermal method synthesized zeolite-X type, and the resulting sample was characterized using different techniques. The silica/alumina ratio in the synthesized sample was approximately 5.6, while Infrared spectra confirmed that the synthesized material was Zeolite-X. Based on the X-ray diffraction patterns, other phases were also formed in addition to zeolite-X crystals. Thermogravimetry results indicated that the synthesized zeolite was relatively stable below 500℃, so its weight loss was only 13% after heating to about 200℃. A differential thermal analyzer confirmed this amount of weight loss, and endothermic and exothermic reactions were also observed for the samples calcined respectively at 700 and 900℃. Based on Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analyses, samples at 700℃ showed slower adsorption-desorption isotherms, pore volume, and sizes than those at 900℃. These results have shown that leaching and calcination temperature significantly affect the type of zeolite produced.

The main objective of this study is the assessment of the ability of limestone mortars to resist to different chemical attacks. The ability of polypropylene (PP) fibres waste used as reinforcement of these concrete materials to enhance their durability is also studied. Crushed sand 0/2 mm which is a fine limestone residue obtained by the crushing of natural rocks in aggregates industry is used for the fabrication of the mortar. The fibres used, which are obtained from the waste of domestic plastic sweeps' fabrication, have a length of 20 mm and a diameter ranging between 0.38 and 0.51 mm. Two weight fibres contents are used, 0.5 and 1%. The durability tests carried out in this investigation included the water absorption by capillarity, the mass variation, the flexural and the compressive strengths of the mortar specimens immersed for 366 days in 5% sodium chloride, 5% magnesium sulphate and 5% sulphuric acid solutions. A mineralogical analysis by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a visual inspection are used for a better examination of the quality of tested mortars and for better interpretation of their behaviour in different solutions. The results indicate that the reinforcement of limestone mortar by PP fibres waste is an excellent solution to improve its chemical resistance and durability. Moreover, the presence of PP fibres waste does not affect significantly the water absorption by capillarity of mortar nether its mass variation, when exposed to chloride and sulphate solutions. While in sulphuric acid, the mass loss is higher with the presence of PP fibres waste, especially after an exposure of 180 days. The results reveal that these fibres have a considerable effect of the flexural and the compressive behaviour of mortar especially in acid solution, where a reduction of strength loss is observed. The mineralogical analysis confirms the good behaviour of mortar immersed in sulphate and chloride solutions; and shows that more gypsum is formed in mortar exposed to acid environment causing its rapid degradation. The visual observation reveals that only samples exposed to acid attack during 366 days have showed a surface damage extending over a depth of approximately 300 ㎛.

1. The study was conducted on the optimum condition of the treated substrate with dilute sulphuric acid solution and cellulase for saccharification. The wood (saw dust) of Alnus hirsuta Rupr. (10~15 years) was treated with 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, 1.2%, 1.5%, $H_2SO_4$ solution at $1.5kg/cm^2$ for 15min., 30min., 45min., and 60min., followed by thermal treatment at $190^{\circ}C$ for 30min., and screening with 60 mesh sieve, after which to 0.5 grams of each sample was added 0.5ml cellulase solution, and 50ml 0.1M acetic acid buffer solution (pH 5.0), after incubating at $40^{\circ}C$ for 96hr. 2. The crude cellulase of Trichoderma viride Perx. ex. Fr. SANK 16374 was produced by the submerged culture process and produced in the culture fluid was salted out quantitatively by the use of ammonium sulfite. 3. Reducing sugar was determined by the 3.5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. 4. The reducing sugar was increased with increase of the sulphuric acid concentration and saw dust was treated with 1.5% $H_2SO_4$ solution at $1.5kg/cm^2$ for 45min. showed the best saccharification (16.0%). The reducing sugar formation did not show statistically significant in 5% levels by thermal treatment time 45min. and 60min. 5. The substrate for cellulase which was treated with 0.9% $H_2SO_4$ solution at $1.5kg/cm^2$ for 60min. showed the best reducing sugar formation (23.6%). And did not show significant difference in 5% levels at 0.9%, 1.2%, and 1.5% $H_2SO_4$ solution.

In this research article, acid resistance, sulphate resistance and sorptivity of self compacted concrete (SCC) prepared from C&D waste have been discussed. To improve the above properties of self compacted recycled aggregate concrete (SCRAC) along with mechanical and durability properties, different two stage mixing approaches (TSMA and TSMAsfc) were followed. In the proposed two stage mixing approach (TSMAsfc), silica fume, a proportional amount of cement and a proportional amount of water were mixed in premix stage which fills the pores and cracks of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). The concrete specimen prepared using above mixing approaches were immersed in 1% concentration of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) solution for 28, 90 and 180 days for evaluating the acid resistance of SCRAC. Experimental results concluded that the proposed two stage mixing approach (TSMAsfc) is most suitable for acid resistance and sulphate resistance in terms of weight loss and strength loss due to the elimination of pores and cracks in the interfacial transition zone (ITZ). In modified two stage mixing approach, the pores and cracks of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) were filled up and make ITZs of SCRAC stronger. Microstructure analysis was carried out to justify the reason of improvement of ITZs by electron probe micro analyser (EPMA) analysis. X-ray mapping was also done to know the presence of strength contributing elements presents in the concrete sample. It was established that SCRAC with modified mixing approach have shown improved results in terms of acid resistance, sulphate resistance, sorptivity and mechanical properties.

대기중 과산화수소($H_2O$$_2$)는 기상과 액상에서 peroxy radicals 간의 결합 (HO$_2$ㆍ+ HO$_2$ㆍ $\longrightarrow$$H_2O$$_2$+O$_2$)에 의해 생성된다. 만약 수소 원자 하나가 organic group으로 치환되면 organic peroxides가 생성된다(Calvert et al., 1985). 이러한 과산화수소($H_2O$$_2$)와 methylhydroperoxide(MHP, $CH_3$COOH), hydroxymethylhydroperocide(HMHP, HOC$H_2O$OH)등의 organic peroxides는 대기 중에서 주요 산화제로 작용한다. 이들 peroxide 물질들은 pH 5 이하의 aqueous phase (cloud, fog and rain water)에서 sulphuric acid (HSO$_4$$^{2-}$ ) 형성에 중요한 역할을 한다(Calvert et al., 1985).
