Abstract Background Peroxyacetic acid involved chemical pretreatment is effective in lignocellulose deconstruction and oxidation. However, these peroxyacetic acid are usually artificially added. Our previous work has shown that the newly developed PHP pretreatment (phosphoric acid plus hydrogen peroxide) is promising in lignocellulose biomass fractionation through an aggressive oxidation process, while the information about the synergistic effect between H3PO4 and H2O2 is quite lack, especially whether some strong oxidant intermediates is existed. In this work, we reported the PHP pretreatment system could self-generate peroxyacetic acid oxidant, which mediated the overall lignocellulose deconstruction, and hemicellulose/lignin degradation. Results The PHP pretreatment profile on wheat straw and corn stalk were investigated. The pathways/mechanisms of peroxyacetic acid mediated-PHP pretreatment were elucidated through tracing the structural changes of each component. Results showed that hemicellulose was almost completely solubilized and removed, corresponding to about 87.0% cellulose recovery with high digestibility. Rather high degrees of delignification of 83.5% and 90.0% were achieved for wheat straw and corn stalk, respectively, with the aid of peroxyacetic acid oxidation. A clearly positive correlation was found between the concentration of peroxyacetic acid and the extent of lignocellulose deconstruction. Peroxyacetic acid was mainly self-generated through H2O2 oxidation of acetic acid that was produced from hemicellulose deacetylation and lignin degradation. The self-generated peroxyacetic acid then further contributed to lignocellulose deconstruction and delignification. Conclusions The synergistic effect of H3PO4 and H2O2 in the PHP solvent system could efficiently deconstruct wheat straw and corn stalk lignocellulose through an oxidation-mediated process. The main function of H3PO4 was to deconstruct biomass recalcitrance and degrade hemicellulose through acid hydrolysis, while the function of H2O2 was to facilitate the formation of peroxyacetic acid. Peroxyacetic acid with stronger oxidation ability was generated through the reaction between H2O2 and acetic acid, which was released from xylan and lignin oxidation/degradation. This work elucidated the generation and function of peroxyacetic acid in the PHP pretreatment system, and also provide useful information to tailor peroxide-involved pretreatment routes, especially at acidic conditions.

The kinetics of the formation of Mn(III) hematoporphyrin in glacial acetic acid has been studied spectrophotometrically.On addition of Mn(II) to porphyrin in glacial acetic acid a species which appears to be the monocation immediately is formed and is then converted to Mn(III) hematoporphyrin at a rate suitable for kinetic studies.The rates of reaction were measured at 45, 50, and 55 °C and the activation energies were calculated.


The oxidation of ethylene has been studied on evaporated films of palladium in the temperature range 50 to 140 °C, and products were analyzed by means of a mass spectrometer. The main reaction was complete oxidation to carbon dioxide and water, but trace amounts of acetic anhydride and acetic acid were formed by a side reaction. Kinetic studies showed that the reaction was zero order with respect to the pressure of oxygen, first order in ethylene at low pressures but zero order at high pressures, and progressively poisoned by the two minor products. The activation energy associated with the initial rate of reaction was 14 kcal/mole. A number of subsidiary experiments were carried out including the oxidation of acetaldehyde at 77 °C which occurred rapidly producing acetic anhydride and some acetic acid. A reaction scheme was developed which accounted for the detailed kinetic behaviour of the oxidation of ethylene and possible mechanisms are discussed

Abstract In this study, dissolution kinetics of manganese and zinc from spent zinc–carbon batteries in acetic acid solution was investigated. To determine the kinetics of dissolution of manganese and zinc, shrinking core model was applied to dissolution recoveries obtained at different temperatures. As a result of kinetic studies, it was determined that manganese and zinc were dissolved in acetic acid solution by diffusion from product layer and then activation energies (Ea) were calculated.
