FINDING OF KINETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROCESS CO-GASIFICATION OF HEAVY COAL TARS WITH LIGNITE AND WALNUT SHELL

Studied of co-gasification of heavy coal tars with lignite and walnut shell in the temperature ranged from  400 to 500 °С, the flow rate of oxidand (air) ranged from 0,0005 to  0,004 m3/min.  It is established that the weigth loss of the sample mixtures in the gasification process has a S-shaped. Mathematical and graphical dependences of the influence of oxidant flow rate on the values of reaction rate constants and activation energy of gasification of experimental mixtures were developed.

Kinetic Regularities of the Early Stages of Sol-Gel Process in Tetraethoxysilane-Based Systems

Kinetic peculiarities of the early stages of the processes of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and condensation in sol-gel systems tetraethoxysilane (TEOS)–ethanol–water have been investigated by gas chromatography. Kinetic parameters of the process, evaluated using quantum-chemical calculations, satisfactorilly coincide with the ones determined experimentally.
