Decomposition of Oxalic Acid by Sulfuric Acid

The effect of sulfuric acid on pore initiation in anodic alumina formed in oxalic acid

In this work, a tracer study on pore initiation in anodic alumina in oxalic acid was performed. Effects of some experimental parameters such as applied electrical potential, electrolyte composition and heat pretreatment were evaluated. Electrochemical and morphological experiments were performed using potentiostatic anodizing and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques, respectively. Effe...

The decomposition of methionine in sulfuric acid.

The classical procedure for the preparation of homocystine consists of boiling a solution of methionine in 50 per cent sulfuric acid followed by neutralization (1). Although the yields of homocystine account for only 25 to 45 per cent of the methionine, the nature of the reaction has received little attention since originally published by Butz and du Vigneaud (1). These authors noted the format...

Oscillatory Bromate-Oxalic Acid-Ce-Acetone-Sulfuric Acid Reaction, in CSTR

São relatadas, pela primeira vez, a observação de oscilações periódicas, em reator agitado de fluxo contínuo (CSTR), para o sistema bromato-ácido oxálico-Ce(IV)-acetona-ácido sulfúrico. Identificou-se que a reação entre Ce(IV) e a acetona, até então não descrita na literatura e que ocorre antes dos reagentes serem adicionados ao reator, é um fator decisivo para o aparecimento de oscilações regu...
