Abstract: | Summary The slow decomposition of H2O2 in the presence of Dowex-50 W resin in the form of an ethylenediaminecopper(II) complex ion in water is accompanied by an induction period. The reaction is first order with respect to [H2O2] and the rate constant (perg of dry resin) was deduced. Autocatalytic behaviour was found for the H2O2 decomposition with 2% crosslinked divinylbenzene. The induction period disappeared and the reaction rate increased when the decomposition was carried out with a resin in the form of a peroxo-copper complex, which proves that the formation of an intermediate (active species) retards the reaction rate. The precursor of the active species, formed during the induction period, was not the amine-copper(II) complex ion but a product of the latter with H2O2. It proved impossible to carry out the decomposition in acid or buffer solutions, in which the resin is regenerated. |
