TL;DR: A computer simulation method for gel filtration chromatography (GFC), based on plate theory and mass action law, is developed for rapidly self-associating systems and compared with asymptotic theory.
Abstract: A computer simulation method for gel filtration chromatography (GFC), based on plate theory and mass action law, is developed for rapidly self-associating systems and compared with asymptotic theory. For ovalbumin, a non-associable protein, whose elution volume increases linearly with increasing concentration, the leading boundary is predicted to be broader than the trailing. Computer simulations are used to estimate the aggregation numbers and the equilibrium constants for dimerization of carbonylhemoglobin and hexamerization of α-chymotrypsin. The concentration, Cmin, at the plateau region of the trailing boundary is shown to be close to cmc by asymptotic theory. The present computer simulation and derivative GFC patterns serve to estimate monomer concentration and micellar size of surfactants from analysis of GFC data.

TL;DR: The incorporation of three-body collisions for dissociation/recombination into the Boltzmann equation is discussed in this paper, where conditions are assumed such that collisions are completed in the sense of scattering theory, so the collision operator is determined by scattering and reaction cross sections.
Abstract: The incorporation of three-body collisions for dissociation/recombination into the Boltzmann equation is discussed. Conditions are assumed such that collisions are completed in the sense of scattering theory, so the collision operator is determined by scattering and reaction cross sections. The resulting equation has anH-theorem, and the equilibrium solution requires the law of mass action in addition to the Maxwellian dependence on momentum. A brief discussion is given of the normal solution and the transport coefficients.

TL;DR: In this article, the chemical equilibrium for the reaction A+B⇄C, assuming that the particlesB form a lattice and the particlesA are statistically distributed on interstices, is studied.
Abstract: The chemical equilibrium is studied for the reactionA+B⇄C, assuming that, initially, the particlesB form a lattice and the particlesA are statistically distributed on interstices. A mass action law is derived which defines the numbersnA, nB, nC of particlesA, B,C in the chemical equilibrium assuming the initial distribution to be known. It predicts a considerably larger numbernC of fused particlesC compared to the mass action law for the gaseous phase. The result holds for an ordinary as well as for a nuclear lattice. Its possible relevance for the production of proton-rich isotopes in the universe is discussed.
