Kinetics of Photoresponse of the Chlorine Dioxide-Iodine-Malonic Acid Reaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We studied the photoresponse of the chlorine dioxide-iodine-malonic acid (CDIMA) reaction. In a continuously fed stirred tank reactor, the photosensitivity increases with decreasing residence time and increasing concentration of chlorine dioxide. Under certain conditions, concentrations change in a sigmoidal fashion in response to a jump in the intensity of illumination. We propose a new mechanism for the effect of visible light on the CDIMA reaction. Simulations based on the proposed mechanism accurately describe the experimentally observed kinetics.

Experimental evidence of localized oscillations in the photosensitive chlorine dioxide-iodine-malonic acid reaction.
The interaction between Hopf and Turing modes has been the subject of active research in recent years. We present here experimental evidence of the existence of mixed Turing-Hopf modes in a two-dimensional system. Using the photosensitive chlorine dioxide-iodine-malonic acid reaction (CDIMA) and external constant background illumination as a control parameter, standing spots oscillating in ampl...
متن کاملControl of the Chlorine Dioxide-Iodine-Malonic Acid Oscillating Reaction by Illumination
We show that illumination of the chlorine dioxide-iodine-malonic acid reaction with visible light suppresses oscillations and shifts the steady state of the reaction to lower concentrations of iodide ions. In the system with starch, illumination results in a strong decrease of the steady-state concentration of the triiodidestarch complex. We suggest a simple mechanism, in which iodine atoms pro...
متن کاملBreathing spiral waves in the chlorine dioxide-iodine-malonic acid reaction-diffusion system.
Breathing spiral waves are observed in the oscillatory chlorine dioxide-iodine-malonic acid reaction-diffusion system. The breathing develops within established patterns of multiple spiral waves after the concentration of polyvinyl alcohol in the feeding chamber of a continuously fed, unstirred reactor is increased. The breathing period is determined by the period of bulk oscillations in the fe...
متن کاملNumerical bifurcation diagram for the two-dimensional boundary-fed chlorine-dioxide–iodine–malonic-acid system
We present a numerical solution of the chlorine-dioxide–iodine–malonic-acid reaction-diffusion system in two dimensions in a boundary-fed system using a realistic model. The bifurcation diagram for the transition from nonsymmetry-breaking structures along boundary feed gradients to transverse symmetry-breaking patterns in a single layer is numerically determined. We find this transition to be d...
متن کاملDesign and control of patterns in reaction-diffusion systems.
We discuss the design of reaction-diffusion systems that display a variety of spatiotemporal patterns. We also consider how these patterns may be controlled by external perturbation, typically using photochemistry or temperature. Systems treated include the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction, the chlorite-iodide-malonic acid and chlorine dioxide-malonic acid-iodine reactions, and the BZ-AOT sys...
