Kinetic studies on the metal(II) tartarate–peroxomonosulfate reaction

Abstract

The kinetics of oxidation of tartaric acid (TAR) by peroxomonosulfate (PMS) in the presence of Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions was studied in the pH range 4.05-5.20 and also in alkaline medium (pH ∼12.7).

Oxidation and Reduction

“…This reaction was the likely source of autocatalysis of the reaction. 161 The similar oxidation of l-HA, studied in the presence and absence of Cu(II)-catalyst, was first order each in HA and PMS. The rate expressions for the uncatalysed and catalysed reactions were suggested.…”
