Abstract
Thiosulfate (S2O32−) and tetrathionate (S4O62−)are oxidized to sulfate by air at atmospheric pressure and 50–70°C in the presence of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) as catalyst. Sulfate is produced from S2O32− by series-parallel reaction paths involving S4O62− as an intermediate. The rate data obtained for air oxidation of S2O32− on Cu2O agree well with a pseudo-homogeneous first order kinetic scheme, yielding values of rate constants for series parallel reaction paths which have been used in modelling the catalyzed air oxidation of S2O32−. Air oxidation of S4O62− on Cu2O proceeds at a higher rate in the presence of S2O32− than in its absence. Cu2O is less active than Cu2S for the air oxidation of S2O32−, as shown by the rate constant values which for Cu2O catalyzed oxidation are an order of magnitude smaller than those for the Cu2S catalyzed oxidation.
