Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide - kinetics and review of chosen catalysts

Isoxazole Functionalized Crosslinked Resin Complexes of Transition Metals as Polymeric Catalysts for Hydrogen Peroxide Decomposition

Crosslinked functionalized polymers are highly efficient in immobilizing transition metal ions. The activity of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of polystyrene bound Isoxazole resin have been tested towards the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The decomposition reaction followed a first order dependence on the concentration of both the substrates and the catalyst. The metal compl...

Isothermal decomposition of hydrogen peroxide dihydrate.

We present a new method of growing pure solid hydrogen peroxide in an ultra high vacuum environment and apply it to determine thermal stability of the dihydrate compound that forms when water and hydrogen peroxide are mixed at low temperatures. Using infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis, we quantified the isothermal decomposition of the metastable dihydrate at 151.6 K. This deco...

Kinetics of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetate complex.

Added substrates, acetone and t-butyl alcohol, strongly retard the decomposition of H(2)O(2) brought about by ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) at pH 8-9.5. Their relative effectiveness and the kinetic form of the retardation are consistent with their interruption of a hydroxyl radical chain that is propagated by HO. attack both upon H(2)O(2) and on complexed and uncomplexed EDTA. Simil...

CO x Free Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Decomposition of Methane Over Porous Ni/Al2O3 Catalysts

Silver-palladium catalysts for the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide.

A series of bimetallic silver-palladium catalysts supported on titania were prepared by wet impregnation and assessed for the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide, and its subsequent side reactions. The addition of silver to a palladium catalyst was found to significantly decrease hydrogen peroxide productivity and hydrogenation, but crucially increase the rate of decomposition. The decomposit...
