Regard for particle size distribution in a model of the macrokinetics of the reduction of oxygen dissolved in water by a metal-ion-exchanger nanocomposite

Abstract

The function of granulometric size distribution of metal particles is introduced into the equations of a mathematical model that describes the reduction of molecular oxygen from water by metal-ionexchanger nanocomposites. It is shown that the pattern and parameters of the distribution function have an effect on the behavior of the kinetic curve. It is noted that this is particularly important for systems in which small particles dominate. The calculation and analysis of changes in the metal particle size distribution curve during the process are performed using the example of a silver-sulfocation exchanger nanocomposite.
