The kinetics of oxygenation of reduced sulfur species in aqueous solution, e.g., petroleum wastes, were studied at pH values of 4, 7.55, and 10. The reaction was first order with respect to reduced sulfur at all pH values and nearly first order with respect to oxygen at pH 7.55. Reaction products were determined and an over-all kinetic model was developed which suggested parallel reaction between sulfide and polysulfide species and oxygen to form sulfite, thiosulfate, and sulfate. Reasonable predictions of reactant and product concentrations were obtained.
