Abstract
The kinetics of oxidation of diethyl sulfide (Et2S) is studied in aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide and sodium peroxoborate (Na2[В2(О2)2(ОН)4]) in the presence of bicarbonate ions by means of gas−liquid distribution. The kinetics is investigated in a broad range of pH. Data show that the oxidation of Et2S by sodium peroxoborate in the range of pH 6−12 is mediated by such reactive species as hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen peroxide anions, and mono (B(O2H)(OH) $$_{3}^{ - }$$ ) and diperoxoborate (B(O2H)2(OH) $$_{2}^{ - }$$ ) anions. The rate of Et2S oxidation increases in the presence of bicarbonate, due to the additional reaction pathways mediated by monoperoxocarbonate species.
