Abstract
The photo-oxidation of propionic acid by oxygen in aqueous solution has been studied in the presence of TiO2 and dissolved copper ions as catalyst. The kinetics results agree with a “rake scheme” which involves acetic acid as an intermediate between propionic acid and the final product CO2. The role in this scheme of carboxylato complexes of copper both in the dissolved state and in the adsorbed state is stressed.
