Oxidation and Destruction of Polyvinyl Alcohol under the Combined Action of Ozone–Oxygen Mixture and Hydrogen Peroxide

详细

The oxidative transformations of a polyvinyl alcohol in aqueous solutions are studied under the simultaneous action of the two oxidizing agents, an ozone–oxygen mixture and a hydrogen peroxide. Effective parameters a and b, which characterize the first and second channels of carboxyl group accumulation, respectively, grow linearly upon an increase in the initial concentration of H₂O₂. After the temperature dependence of a and b parameters (331–363 K) in a PVA + O₃ + O₂ + H₂O₂ + H₂O reaction system is studied, the parameters of the activation of COOH group accumulation are found (where PVA is a polyvinyl alcohol). New data on the effect process conditions (length of oxidation, temperature, and hydrogen peroxide concentration) have on the degree of destructive transformations of polyvinyl alcohol in the investigated reaction system are obtained.
