An important but virtually ignored 1978 paper by Reeves and co-workers, which examined a dye–OAc hydrolysis and then agglomeration system, is reanalyzed in light of current state of knowledge of nucleation and growth/agglomeration phenomena. The Finke–Watzky two-step mechanism is used to account quantitatively for the kinetics data, in turn providing deconvolution of dye hydrolysis and nucleation of agglomerative growth, from the agglomerative growth step, including their separate rate constants. Significantly, the effects of microfiltration of the removable dust on the two steps and their rate constants are uncovered and quantitated for the first time, including the finding that the presence of dust accelerates both steps by ca. 10-fold or more. A postulated minimum mechanism able to account for all the observed results is provided. The results allow the excellently designed and executed, now nearly 40-years old, classic studies of Reeves and co-workers to be placed in its proper position in history, while at the same time providing six insights and conclusions detailed in the Discussion and Conclusions sections of the paper.

经典的偶氮染料团聚系统：缓慢，连续成核，自催化团聚生长的证据，以及微滤除尘对动力学的影响

Reeves及其同事在1978年发表的一篇重要但几乎被忽略的论文中，研究了染料-OAc水解然后发生团聚的现象，并根据目前对成核和生长/团聚现象的了解重新进行了分析。Finke-Watzky两步机制用于定量分析动力学数据，从而从团聚生长步骤提供了染料水解的解卷积和团聚生长的成核作用，包括它们各自的速率常数。值得注意的是，首次发现并定量了可去除粉尘对两步的微滤作用及其速率常数，并首次发现了定量结果，包括发现粉尘的存在使两步都加速了约2倍。10倍以上。提供了一种假定的最小机制，该机制能够解释所有观察到的结果。这些结果使Reeves及其同事的出色设计和执行，至今已有近40年历史的经典研究被置于历史上的适当位置，同时提供了“讨论和结论”中详细介绍的六种见解和结论。本文的各个部分。
