Despite the importance of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in initiating oxidative damage and its connection to various diseases, the detection of low concentrations of H2O2 (<10 μM) is still limited using current methods, particularly in non-aqueous systems.

The reduction of I2 by hydrogen peroxide, a primary water radiolysis product, has been identified as a key reaction that would influence iodine volatility in nuclear reactor accident conditions (1–3). Although there have been a number of studies of the reduction of I2, there exists a great degree of controversy regarding the intermediates involved, the effect of buffers, and the general rate law (1–9). Because the rates and the mechanism of this reaction are important in predicting the pH dependence of iodine behaviour in reactor containment building after a postulated reactor accident, we have undertaken a kinetic study of I2 reduction by H2O2 in aqueous solution over a pH range of 6–9. The experiments were performed using stopped-flow instrumentation and monitoring the decay of I–3 spectrophotometrically. The effects of buffer catalysis have been examined by comparison of kinetic data obtained in sodium barbital (5,5-diethylbarbituric acid), disodium citrate, and disodium hydrogen phosphate buffers. The effect of buffers, combined with the complex acid dependence of the rate law, explains many of the discrepancies reported in earlier literature.Key words: hydrogen peroxide, molecular iodine, kinetics, iodine volatility.

Nitroalkanes have been found to be general reductive substrates for D-amino acid oxidase, glucose oxidase and L-amino acid oxidase. These enzymes show different specificities for the structure of the nitroalkane substrate.The stoichiometry of the D-amino acid oxidase reaction is straightforward, consisting of the production of one mole each of aldehyde, nitrite and hydrogen peroxide for each mole of nitroalkane and oxygen consumed. The stoichiometry of the glucose oxidase reaction is more complex in that less than one mole of hydrogen peroxide and nitrite is produced and nitrate and traces of 1-dinitroalkane are formed.The kinetics of nitroalkane oxidation show that the nitroalkane anion is much more reactive in reducing the flavin than is the neutral substrate. The pH dependence of flavin reduction strongly suggests that proton abstraction is a necessary event in catalysis. A detailed kinetic mechanism is presented for the oxidation of nitroethane by glucose.It has been possible to trap a form of modified flavin in the reaction of D-amino acid oxidase with nitromethane from which oxidized FAD can be regenerated in aqueous solution in the presence of oxygen.

When aqueous ZnO suspensions, saturated with oxygen, are irradiated with u.v. light, hydrogen peroxide is formed and a decrease in pH is observed. The effects of different gases (O2, N2, and N2O) on the course of this heterogeneous reaction and also the pH dependence of the reaction have been examined. On the basis of the results obtained, the mechanism which had been previously suggested was modified to allow for the hydrolysis of the zinc(II) ions removed from the crystal lattice during irradiation. A general reaction mechanism proposed to account for H2O2 production in systems with various additives present is extended to additive-free systems where interstitial zinc (Zn1+) is the effective reductant.
