Kinetic and Calorimetric Studies of Reactive Dye Hydrolysis and Alcoholysis Reactions

Kinetic and calorimetric studies have been carried out to determine rate constants and enthalpy changes for the hydrolysis and alcoholysis reactions as a function of pH, for some reactive dyes at a given temperature, in the temperature range 25-35 °C. The alcoholysis reactions were carried out in homogeneous media using glucose, sorbitol, methanol, n-propyl alcohol and iso-propyl alcohol respectively. The calorimetric data have been obtained using a sensitive rating-period calorimeter
