Abstract
AbstractThe reaction of N‐chloro‐4‐hydroxy‐2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine (TMP‐Cl) with sodium perborate (PB) was investigated with special reference to the generation of singlet oxygen and the possible application to a new oxidative bleaching process. Generation of the singlet oxygen (1O2), the hydroxyl radical (HO·) and superoxide anion radical (O2·−) in the PB/TMP‐Cl mixed solution was confirmed by the trapping reagent method. From the results of another experiment, in which the bleaching abilities of each active oxygen species were confirmed, the main active oxygen species contributing to the bleaching of purpurogallin, the skeleton of black tea pigment, in the PB/TMP‐Cl system was concluded to be1O2.
