✦ Synopsis

Propagating reaction fronts generated in the autocatalytic oxidation of formaldehyde by nitric acid have been investigated. The experimental values of the wave velocity v and those of the maximal reaction rate rm a t a given spatial coordinate have been described by the formulae v = 2(Dk[CH2(0H)2]0)'~ and rm = 0.247 X k[CHz(OH)zL2, respectively, ( D and k are constants). Similarities and differences to other nitric acid oxidations have been discussed.

The kinetics of the reaction between nitric acid and formaldehyde have been studied by spectrophotometry. The reaction is autocatalytic. A two-step mechanism is proposed, which accounts for this behavior and describes the effect of reactant concentrations on the characteristics of the kinetic curves
