Initiation and Induction Processes Involving Hydrogen Peroxide

Thus at the present time, gaseous H202 dissociation is one of the most well-studied reac- 

2 INITIATION AND INDUCTION PROCESSES INVOLVING HYDROGEN PEROXIDE 

Most studies in the branch of oxidation with hydrogen peroxide are scattered. In fact, there exists no concept that would allow consideration of the majority of these processes from a unified position and that would promote understanding of the key role of H202 in natural processes, defined by its place in the redox ternary. 

From these positions, let us discuss conjugated reactions of substrate oxidation with hydrogen peroxide, which may be presented by the following generalized scheme  

In both processes of initiation and chemical induction active particles are generated. This is a general feature for all types of initiated and conjugated reactions. As shown in Chapter 2, the basic difference is observed from the very moment of active particle influence on the target reaction (in the case of chemical induction on the secondary reaction). Investigation of the active particle action mechanism on the target reaction gives an opportunity to determine the cases in which initiation or chemical induction is displayed.
