Abstract:
In the presence of strong alkali and oxidant, AgNO3 was coordinated with the ligand to form potassium diperiodatoargentate (DPA). Two simplified models were developed from the general kinetic model of the complex synthesis process for the mass transport control and the reaction rate control cases.The model simulation were in good agreements with the experimental data obtained from both the high and the low concentration systems.When the initial concentration of KIO4 was ≤55.6 mmol/L, the synthesis rate was primarily controlled by the mass transport step according to:[1-(1-xB)1/2]·(1+110.7x1/2.04B)=t; at a higher KIO4 initial concentration (55.6 mmol/L≤c0AL≤139 mmol/L), the rate was controlled by both the mass transport and reaction steps according to:100.6[1-(1-xB)1/2]·[1-(1-xB)1/1.51]=t.
