Effect of Isopropyl Alcohol on Autoxidation of S (IV) Catalyzed by Co2O3 in Alkaline Medium

Abstract

The kinetics of the iso propyl alcohol inhibited Co2O3 catalysed autoxidation of sulfur (IV) in alkaline medium has been studied and based on the observed results rate law and a free radical mechanism has been proposed. -d[S(lV)] (k1+ k2[Co2O3]) [S(lV)] = dt 1 + B [IPA]* *IPA = iso propyl alcohol
