Title: Liquid-phase catalytic oxidation of CO by ammonium persulfate

Journal Article · · Dokl. Phys. Chem. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5940641

The catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide in aqueous solutions is investigated. The abilities of ammonium persulfate, palladium hydroxide, and silver oxide to force the oxidation are discussed. The rates for these reactions are displayed graphically. The reaction rates as a function of the concentrations of the above-mentioned reactants are determined. An excess of persulfate is found to oxidize Pd(II) to Pd(IV), and this produces a reduction in the rate of CO oxidation. The oxidation of CO is preceeded in the reaction by the interaction of the persulfate with the metal catalyst.
