Oxygen → Hydrogen Peroxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The bleaching composition consisting of the detergent composition of Example I plus the bleaching system consisting of the sodium perborate and the sodium acetyloxybenzene sulfonate was placed in a beaker of water. The amount of detergent composition and bleach activator added to the beaker of water corresponded to 1250 ppm and a maximum theoretical amount of available oxygen from percarboxylic acid of 10 ppm, respectively. The molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide yielded by sodium perborate to sodium acetyloxybenzene sulfonate was 1. The water in the beaker was 37° C. and contained 7 grains/gallon water hardness.
