Abstract

The reactions of Fe2+, Cr2+, V4+, and Ti3+ with H2O2 in the presence of 2-propanol were studied using the esr flow technique. It was shown that all these "Fenton-like" reagents form OH radicals which can react with the 2-propanol. From studies of the esr intensities of the alcohol radical as a function of H2O2, Ti3+, and that of added Ti4+, Fe3+, and Cr3+ it is concluded that these ions react faster with (CH3)COH than with CH2CHOHCH3. The reaction of the alcohol radicals with H2O2 was also studied by radiolysis experiments. The unusual kinetics and properties of "Fenton-like reagent" and OH and R radicals generated by these reagents previously reported is shown to be due to wrong kinetic assumptions.
