Photolytic Oxidation of Phenol-Alkylene Oxide Adducts by Aqueous Sodium Hypochlorite

Oxidation of Phenol in Acidic Aqueous Suspensions of Manganese Oxides

-Phenol (benzenol) oxidation by three synthetic manganese oxides (buserite, manganite, and feitknechtite) has been studied in aerated, aqueous, acidified suspensions. The rate of reaction was pH dependent. Oxidation was greatly enhanced below pH 4, when diphenoquinone and p-benzoquinone were identified as the first products. Initial reaction rate was correlated with standard reduction potential...

Title: One-electron Oxidation of Phenol in Aqueous Solution

Outer-sphere oxidations of phenols are prominent candidates for concerted PCET reactions. When the oxidants lack basic sites there are fundamental questions about the participation of other proton acceptors. As a result, the aqueous oxidation of phenol by [IrCl6] is an important test case. In acidic media this reaction is inhibited by [IrCl6]. We have previously reported that the reaction can b...

Methane oxidation by aqueous osmium tetroxide and sodium periodate: inhibition of methanol oxidation by methane.

Sodium Hypochlorite

Sodium Hypochlorite Generation

Low concentration (0.5-0.8%) sodium hypochlorite is a viable solution for point-of-use drinking water chlorination programs in Nepal, and it can be produced on a small-scale at a low cost using relatively cheap, safe, and robust generators, appropriate for developing country conditions. This thesis describes the set-up and the testing of a sodium hypochlorite generator in Kathmandu, at the labo...
