Cellulose cotton cloth has been treated with phosphorus, both by direct phosphorylation and by addition of various compounds containing up to 98.6% P. Studies have been made of the effects of these treatments on thermal decomposition and flammability of the cloth. It has been shown that, in terms of

β¦ Synopsis
Oxidation of cellulose and model compounds, including D-glucose, ethanol, 2,3-butanediol, and propanal in HCIO4 solutions with Mn(IlI) as an oxidant found to be of first order with respect to Mn(III). A general rate expression was derived to explain the effects of the reactant concentrations and the acidity, with the roles played by Mn 3+, MnOH e+, and their complexes being taken into account. Rate and equilibrium constants were determined under simplified experimental conditions. From the relative rate constants of oxidation for the model compounds, the reaction sites of glucose have been deduced. Cellulose was oxidized by electrogenerated Mn(III), which acts as an electron transfer mediator for the reaction. Its oxidation products show a new IR band at 1729 cm-1, which was assigned primarily to the ketone group produced during the oxidation.

The kinetics of oxidation of nitrite to nitrate by peroxornonophosphoric acid in aqueous acid medium have been studied. The observed monotonic fall in rate with increasing pH of the medium has been rationalized on the basis of proton-dissociation equilibria of the substrate as well as the oxidant sp
The pertechnetate ion oxidizes ascorbic acid in strong acid medium to form red species. A reaction mechanism has been developed which correctly predicts all the experimental facts. The results obtained support the postulate according to which the red species corresponds to a complex formed between T
The conductivity in polyvinylcarbazole (PCVz), a well known photoconducting polymer, has been attributed to the migration of the cation radicals along the chain. In this paper, chemically generated monomer and dimer radical cations of the carbazolyl group and the conducting form of PVCz have been in
