In this study, reaction rate constants are derived for H abstraction by H02 from the three distinct locations of H in ethylbenzene (primary, secondary and aromatic H, with H on the ortho carbon taken as an example of unreactive aromatic H) as well as for the addition of H at the four possible sites. Rate constants are provided in the simple Arrhenius form. The dominant channel at all temperatures is found to be H abstraction from the secondary C-H bonds of the ethyl chain, whereas abstractions from the primary C-H bonds also contribute significantly at higher temperatures. Reasonable agreement was obtained with the limited literature data. Addition at the four sites of the aromatic ring and abstraction of one of the C-H aromatic bonds are rather unimportant for all temperatures. The results presented herein should be useful in modeling the lower temperature oxidation of alkylbenzenes.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:55:59 AEST ]]> Pyrolysis and decomposition pathways of alphacypermethrin under non-oxidative conditions https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:9032 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:20:03 AEST ]]> Formation of toxic species in thermal decomposition of captan https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:9027 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:29:17 AEST ]]> Predicting the heat of formation of chlorinated phenols and associated chlorine isotopologues https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:13195 37Cl on the heat of formation of a series of polychlorinated phenols.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:19:32 AEST ]]> Dissociative adsorption of molecular oxygen on the Cu(001) surface: a density functional theory study https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:9034 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:19:45 AEST ]]> Development of concurrent grinding for application in aqueous mineral carbonation https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:35220 in operando grinding technique which does not require feedstocks which have been subjected to prior ultrafine grinding nor heat-activation. Concurrent grinding is shown to result in a significant increase in magnesite yields for non-heat activated feedstock, prepared such that fines (<20 µm particles) were excluded from the feed. We assert that concurrent grinding may be a suitable technique for the processing of feedstocks such as those containing significant proportions of forsterite and pyroxene, minerals which are unresponsive to thermal activation for use in aqueous mineral carbonation. This study also investigates the effect of different grinding media particle size on reducing the particle size distribution (PSD) of the feed. Optimum ratio of grinding media size to feed particle size, optimum grinding media and slurry concentrations, optimum time for grinding and optimum impeller designs are determined for the system under study. The quantitative effect of grinding media concentration, slurry concentration, pressure and temperature on magnesite yield has been investigated.]]> Wed 10 May 2023 14:51:12 AEST ]]> Pyrolysis of dieldrin and formation of toxic products: II: reaction mechanism https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:33495 Tue 06 Nov 2018 10:02:35 AEDT ]]> Application of concurrent grinding in direct aqueous carbonation of magnesium silicates https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:45566 Tue 01 Nov 2022 14:39:59 AEDT ]]> Pyrolysis of dieldrin and formation of toxic products https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:32405 Thu 31 May 2018 09:12:08 AEST ]]> Application of a concurrent grinding technique for two-stage aqueous mineral carbonation https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38534 Thu 28 Oct 2021 15:49:53 AEDT ]]> Analogues to mineral sequestration of CO₂: sources of carbon in magnesite of Attunga magnesite quarry, NSW, Australia, a stable isotope study https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:12061 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:33:05 AEDT ]]> Conversion of wood pyrolysates to PCDD/F https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:8034 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:36:48 AEDT ]]> Kinetic modeling of low-temperature oxidation of coal https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:1400 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:01 AEDT ]]> Assessing influence of experimental parameters on formation of PCDD/F from ash derived from fires of CCA-treated wood https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:1753 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:27:27 AEDT ]]> Ab-initio electronic structure, optical, dielectric and bonding properties of lizardite-1T https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:12465 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:17:50 AEDT ]]> First-principles study of the electronic, optical and bonding properties in dolomite https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:12461 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:17:50 AEDT ]]> Electronic, optical and bonding properties of MgCO₃ https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:9888 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:12:47 AEDT ]]> Theoretical investigation into the low-temperature oxidation of ethylbenzene https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20191 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:32 AEDT ]]> Modified exponential schemes for convection-diffusion problems https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:4970 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:46:56 AEDT ]]> Formation of dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in oxidation of 2-chlorophenol over iron oxide/silica surface https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28939 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:27 AEDT ]]> Oxidation of a Model PCB (4-Chlorobiphenyl) in Catalytic and Non-Catalytic Flow Reactors and Formation of PCDF https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28926 600°C). The low temperature phenomena have been studied by quantum chemical techniques and reaction mechanisms to explain products’ formation (including the MCD 3-chlorodibenzofuran) are given. 3-Chlorodibenzofuran (the simplest PCDF) and benzaldehyde are important low temperature products produced by O2 (1∆) in reactors (1) and (2). Both O2 (1∆) and ground state O2 (3 Σ g) can displace Cl atoms from 4-chlorobiphenyl to produce polychlorobenzenes although only O2 (1Δ) produces significant yields of chlorobenzenes at low temperatures.

The dissolution rate of magnesium ions (Mg2+) from thermally activated serpentine and the factors influencing the rate and extent of dissolution have been studied in our research group. The current contribution focuses on the effect of temperature and pH on the dissolution of heat activated lizardite (a polymorph of serpentine). The extent of dissolution of thermally activated lizardite was measured experimentally as a function of temperature (25 °C≤T≤75 °C) and pH (1.2 ≤ pH≤9.8). It was found that at higher temperatures the level of Mg extraction is greater during the initial stage of dissolution but is then hindered by the re-precipitation of amorphous silica. Thermodynamic modelling was used to assess the susceptibility of solid phase formation and confirmed the likelihood of re-precipitation of amorphous silica from the solutions. For the first time, in this work, the crackling core model (CCM) was used to model experimental data at different pH values.]]> Mon 23 Jan 2023 14:14:29 AEDT ]]> Insights into chemical stability of Mg-silicates and silica in aqueous systems using <sup>25</sup>Mg and <sup>29</sup>Si solid-state MAS NMR spectroscopy: Applications for CO<inf>2</inf> capture and utilisation https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:49540 Mon 22 May 2023 08:45:16 AEST ]]> The utilisation of feed and byproducts of mineral carbonation processes as pozzolanic cement replacements https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:37516 Mon 15 Feb 2021 11:37:42 AEDT ]]> 'ACEME': synthesis and characterization of reactive silica residues from two stage mineral carbonation process https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:45508 Fri 28 Oct 2022 16:14:12 AEDT ]]> Structure of silica polymers and reaction mechanism for formation of silica-rich precipitated phases in direct aqueous carbon mineralization https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38019 29Si solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (29Si SS NMR), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to characterize carbonation products and to understand the mechanism of formation and the structure of silica-rich byproducts. Thermodynamic analysis predicts the formation of magnesite and amorphous silica in the process of direct aqueous carbonation of heat-activated lizardite under the experimental conditions studied. Characterization of carbonation products disclosed the presence of magnesite, amorphous silica, and magnesium silicate phases. Analysis of supernatant solutions obtained from direct aqueous carbonation by MALDI spectroscopy showed the presence of silica polymers, which precipitate during the carbonation experiments. The precipitated amorphous silica on the surface of reacting particles was found to subsequently adsorb the dissolved magnesium (Mg) from the solution to form a magnesium silicate phase.]]> Fri 23 Jul 2021 15:47:33 AEST ]]> Direct aqueous carbonation of heat activated serpentine: discovery of undesirable side reactions reducing process efficiency https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42229 Fri 19 Aug 2022 11:35:30 AEST ]]> Mineral carbonation of serpentinite: from the laboratory to pilot scale - the MCi project https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:24039 Fri 04 Nov 2016 15:50:53 AEDT ]]> Continuous process for the aqueous carbonation of serpentinite leachate derived from carbonic acid https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:24027 Fri 04 Nov 2016 13:09:52 AEDT ]]>
