Peroxide, hydrogen sodium

Detecting the presence of small, even invisible, amounts of blood is routine. Physical characteristics of dried stains give minimal information, however, as dried blood can take on many hues. Many of the chemical tests for the presence of blood rely on the catalytic peroxidase activity of heme (56,57). Minute quantities of blood catalyze oxidation reactions between colorless materials, eg, phenolphthalein, luco malachite green, luminol, etc, to colored or luminescent ones. The oxidant is typically hydrogen peroxide or sodium perborate (see Automated instrumentation,hematology). 

Alkali metal peroxides are stable under ambient conditions in the absence of water. They dissolve vigorously in water, forming hydrogen peroxide and the metal hydroxide. They are strong oxidizing agents and can react violendy with organic substances. Only lithium peroxide and sodium peroxide have been commercialized. 

PoUowing further development (38), a two-cycle process has been adopted by industry. In the first concentration cycle, the clarified feed acid containing 100—200 mg/L U Og [1334-59-8] is oxidized, for example, with hydrogen peroxide or sodium chlorate [7775-09-9] to ensure that uranium is in its 6+ valence state is not extracted. Uranium is extracted with a solvent composed of 0.5 Af D2EHPA and 0.125 Af TOPO dissolved in an aUphatic hydrocarbon diluent. 

The refining process most commonly used involves treatment with hot aqueous alkaH to convert free fatty acids to soaps, followed by bleaching, usually with hydrogen peroxide, although sodium chlorite, sodium hypochlorite, and ozone have also been used. Other techniques include distillation, steam stripping, neutralization by alkaH, Hquid thermal diffusion, and the use of active adsorbents, eg, charcoal and bentonite, and solvent fractionation... 

Perbora.tes, Sodium perborate [7632-04-4] is the most widely used soHd peroxygen compound. Commercially it is available as a tetrahydrate [10486-00-7] and a monohydrate [10322-33-9]. The tetrahydrate is produced by treating a borax solution with hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide ... 

Industry sources indicate worldwide production of hydrogen peroxide and sodium perborate mono- and tetrahydrate, which are used almost exclusively for bleach appHcations, is 1.1 x 10 t per year and 6.4 x 10 t per year, respectively, in 1990. 

Golorfastness to Bleaching. In fastness to hypochlorite bleachiag, ISO 10S-N01, the specimen is agitated ia a solution of sodium, calcium, or lithium hypochlorite containing 2 g/L available chlorine buffered to pH 11.0 with sodium carbonate for 1 h at 20°C and 50 1 Hquor-to-goods ratio. The specimen is tinsed ia water, hydrogen peroxide, or sodium bisulfite solution to remove free chlorine, dried, and assessed. 

In fastness to peroxide bleaching, ISO 10S-N02, the specimen is immersed ia a standard bleaching solution containing hydrogen peroxide (or sodium peroxide for viscose) where the composition of the bleaching Hquor is dependent on the fibers used ia the test specimen as are the pH and time of exposure (1—2 h). The objective of the test is to assess the colorfastness usiag typical bulk bleaching conditions for the fiber under test.

In 1934 the transformation of 2 -hydroxychalcones to flavonols in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide was reported simultaneously by Algar and Flynn in Ireland and Oyamada in Japan However, many reports following the original disclosures showed that the Algar-Flynn-Oyamada reaction could lead to several products including aurones 4, dihydroflavonols 5, 2-benzyl-2-hydroxydihydrobenzofuran-3-ones 6, and 2-arylbenzofuran-3-carboxylic acids...

All attempts to oxidize either cis- or trans-di-t-butylthiirane oxides failed122 (see equation 20). Reagents investigated included m-chloroperbenzoic acid, sodium peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, ozone and aqueous potassium permanganate. The cis oxide was resistant to oxidation (apparently steric hindrance), and the trans isomer was consumed with excess oxidizing agent but no identifiable products could be isolated. 

Sodium 4-pyridinesulfonate has been obtained from the oxidation of 4 pyndinethiol with hydrogen peroxide in sodium hydroxide solution,15 and from the reaction of 4-chloropyridme with aqueous sodium sulfite16 The salt has been converted to the free acid by treatment with a cation-exchange resin 1011 or with sulfuric acid.11... 

Oxygen bleaches such as sodium carbonate peroxide (also called sodium percarbonate), sodium peroxide, or sodium perborate are made by reacting molecules with hydrogen peroxide. When the result is added to water, the hydrogen peroxide is released. 

The utihty stream gets started at operating temperature and flow rate. In the following experiments, the utihty stream is heated so as to initiate the reaction. The main and secondary process tines are fed with water at room temperature and with the same flow rate as one of the experiments. Once steady state is reached, operating parameters are recorded. Process tines are then fed with the reactants, hydrogen peroxide and sodium thiosulfate. At steady state, operating parameters are recorded, and a sample of a known mass of reactor products is introduced in the Dewar vessel. Temperature in the Dewar vessel is recorded until equilibrium is reached, that is, until the reaction ends. This calorimetric method is aimed at calculating the conversion rate at the product outlet and thus the conversion rate in the reactor. The latter is also determined by thermal balances between process inlet and outlet of the reactor. Finally, the reactor is rinsed with water. This procedure is repeated for each experiment... 

Hydrogen peroxide and sodium can lead to the formation of a peracid which is likely to be unstable. This is the case with peroxides in general. 

It is possible to peroxidise the acid functional group with peroxides and especially hydrogen peroxide or sodium peroxide when traces of water are present.
