We revisit recent derivations of kinetic equations based on Tsallis' entropy concept. The method of kinetic functions is introduced as a standard tool for extensions of classical kinetic equations in the framework of Tsallis' statistical mechanics. Our analysis of the Boltzmann equation demonstrates a remarkable relation between thermodynamics and kinetics caused by the deformation of macroscop...

based on driving force for crystallization of one-component gas hydrate, in this report an expression for the supersaturation for crystallization of multicomponent gas hydrate is derived. expressions for the supersaturation are obtained in isothermal and isobaric regimes. the results obtained are applied to the crystallization of hydrates of mixtures of methane plus ethane and can apply to othe...

The current study was attributed to uranium (VI) ions adsorption using a anion exchanger resin, Dowex®2x8, in the presence of sulfate anions. Evaluation of operational parameters including contact time, pH, initial concentration of uranium ions, and presence of various anions (including phosphate, sulfate, chloride, fluoride, and nitrate) in the solution was assessed on sorption performance of ...

Hypotheses concerning kinetics of heat activation and of thermal death of bacterial spores were formulated, and were employed to derive equations describing nonlogarithmic thermal death curves. The equations permitted evaluation of the validity of experimental data and provided a means for testing the hypotheses presented.

Chemical master equations provide a mathematical description of stochastic reaction kinetics in well-mixed conditions. They are a valid description over length scales that are larger than the reactive mean free path and thus describe kinetics in compartments of mesoscopic and macroscopic dimensions. The trajectories of the stochastic chemical processes described by the master equation can be en...

Ethyl benzene used increasingly each year is the raw material of producing styrene monomer. This substanceis produced from benzene alkylation with ethylene or ethanol, depending on the availability and cost of rawmaterials. In this study benzene alkylation in the presence of ethanol in a catalytic fixed bed reactor inthree states of isotherm, adiabatic and non-isotherm-non-adiabatic is mathemat...

Vanadium is distributed widely and scarcely (150 ppm) on the earth. Its major applications are in steelmaking, dye-production and catalyst-fabrication industries. With the ever-increasing demand for this metal, secondary resource-exploitation of such waste materials as spent catalysts is recommended. Many reactions are involved in vanadium-extraction from these resources. Since roasting in comp...

In this study, the adsorption of mercury ions by Sargassum bevanom (S. bevanom) by batch method was investigated. The optimum operating parameters such adsorbent dosage, contact time, and pH, were obtained as: a biomass dose of 0.4 g in 100 ml of mercury solution, contact time of 90 mins and pH 7, respectively. Three equations Morris –Weber, Lagergren and pseudo second order are tested to verif...
