Quantification of hydrogen peroxide during the low-temperature oxidation of alkanes.

ABSTRACT: The first reliable quantification of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) formed during the low-temperature oxidation of an organic compound has been achieved thanks to a new system that couples a jet stirred reactor to a detection by continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy (cw-CRDS) in the near-infrared. The quantification of this key compound for hydrocarbon low-temperature oxidation regime has been obtained under conditions close to those actually observed before the autoignition. The studied hydrocarbon was n-butane, the smallest alkane which has an oxidation behavior close to that of the species present in gasoline and diesel fuels.

Low-temperature NMR characterization of reaction of sodium pyruvate with hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:It was proposed that the reaction of sodium pyruvate and H2O2 generates the intermediate 2-hydroperoxy-2-hydroxypropanoate, which converts into acetate, CO2, and H2O ( Aleksankin et al. Kernenergie 1962 , 5 , 362 - 365 ). These conclusions were based on the products generated in (18)O-enriched water and H2O2 reacting with pyruvic acid at room temperature; however, the lifetime of 2-hydroperoxy-2-hydroxypropanoate at room temperature is too short for direct spectroscopic observation. Therefore, we applied the combination of low-temperature and (13)C NMR techniques to verify, for the first time, the formation of 2-deuteroperoxy-2-deuteroxypropanoate in mixtures of D2O and methanol-d4 and to monitor directly each species involved in the reaction between D2O2 and (13)C-enriched pyruvate. Our NMR results confirm the formation of 2-deuteroperoxy-2-deuteroxypropanoate, where the respective chemical shifts are supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. At near-neutral apparent pD (pD*) and -35 °C, the formation of 2-deuteroperoxy-2-deuteroxypropanoate occurred with k = 2.43 × 10(-3) dm(3)·mol(-1)·s(-1). The subsequent decomposition of 2-deuteroperoxy-2-deuteroxypropanoate into acetate, CO2, and D2O occurred with k = 2.58 × 10(-4) s(-1) at -35 °C. In order to provide a full kinetic analysis, we also monitored the equilibrium of pyruvate and methanol with the hemiacetal (2-deuteroxy-2-methoxypropanoate). The kinetics for the reaction of sodium pyruvate and D2O2 were fitted by taking into account all these equilibria and species.

Hydrogen peroxide cytotoxicity. Low-temperature enhancement by ascorbate or reduced lipoate.

Project description:The principal mechanism of H2O2 toxicity is thought to involve the generation of hydroxyl (HO.) radicals through its interactions with Fe2+ ions by the Fenton reaction. Of particular interest has been the demonstration by Ward, Blakely & Joner [(1985) Radiat. Res. 103, 383-392] that the cytotoxicity of H2O2 is diminished at low temperature. We have now examined this phenomenon further with a mammalian epithelial cell line (CNCMI-221). Resistance of these cells to 100 microM-H2O2 added extracellularly exhibits a transition in the temperature range between 27 degrees C and 22 degrees C. We have found that the low-temperature resistance to cytotoxic concentrations of H2O2 is abolished by preincubation of cells with reductants such as ascorbate or reduced lipoic acid. This implies that the low-temperature resistance to H2O2 cytotoxicity may be due to inhibition of cellular reductive processes. The restoration of the cytotoxic action of H2O2 at 4 degrees C by ascorbate is prevented by pre-exposure of cells to desferrioxamine. This is evidence that transition-metal ions (such as iron ions) are involved in the cytotoxicity and is consistent with a mechanism of cell damage that depends on the Fenton reaction and a metal ion in the reduced state. Restoration of H2O2 cytotoxicity at low temperature by ascorbate is consistent with the artificial production of an intracellular reducing environment that at normal temperatures is sustained by cellular metabolism.

Mass spectra of cyclic ethers formed in the low-temperature oxidation of a series of n-alkanes.

Project description:Cyclic ethers are important intermediate species formed during the low-temperature oxidation of hydrocarbons. Along with ketones and aldehydes, they could consequently represent a significant part of the heavy oxygenated pollutants observed in the exhaust gas of engines. Apart a few of them such as ethylene oxide and tetrahydrofuran, cyclic ethers have not been much studied and very few of them are available for calibration and identification. Electron impact mass spectra are available for very few of them, making their detection in the exhaust emissions of combustion processes very difficult. The main goal of this study was to complete the existing set of mass spectra for this class of molecules. Thus cyclic ethers have been analyzed in the exhaust gases of a jet-stirred reactor in which the low-temperature oxidation of a series of n-alkanes was taking place. Analyzes were performed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry and to MS/MS. The second goal of this study was to derive some rules for the fragmentation of cyclic ethers in electron impact mass spectrometry and allow the identification of these species when no mass spectrum is available.

Oxidation of deuteroferrihaem by hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:1. The oxidation of deuteroferrihaem by H(2)O(2) to bile pigment and CO was studied both by stopped-flow kinetic spectrophotometry and mass spectrometry, at 25 degrees C, I=0.1m. 2. Spectrophotometric studies imply that, at constant pH, the rate of bile pigment formation is first-order with respect to [H(2)O(2)] and also proportional to [deuteroferrihaem monomer]. The effect of pH on the apparent second-order rate constant suggests that acid-ionization of deuteroferrihaem monomer is important in the reaction mechanism. 3. The relative rates of formation of O(2) (from catalytic decomposition of H(2)O(2)) and CO (from oxidation of ferrihaem) have been measured by mass spectrometry. The results are in excellent agreement with those obtained by combining kinetic data for catalytic decomposition (Jones et al., 1973, preceding paper) with the spectrophotometric results for deuteroferrihaem oxidation.

Substrate oxidation enhances the electrochemical production of hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is electrochemically produced via oxygen (O2) reduction on a carbon cathode surface. In order to enhance the production of H2O2, anodic loss pathways, which significantly reduce the overall H2O2 production rate, should be inhibited. In this study, we investigate the effects of organic electron donors (i.e., typical chemical contaminants) on the anodic loss pathways of H2O2 in a single-cell electrochemical reactor that employs an anode composed of TiO2 over-coated on a mixed-metal oxide ohmic contact catalyst, Ir0.7Ta0.3O2, deposited on a Ti-metal that is coupled with a graphite rod cathode in a sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) electrolyte that is saturated with oxygen (O2). Organic electron donors are shown to enhance the electrochemical production of H2O2, while simultaneously undergoing oxidative degradation. The observed positive effect of organic electron donors on the electrochemical production of H2O2 is due in part to a preferential adsorption of organic substrates on the TiO2 outer layer of the anode. The sorption of the organic electron donors inhibits the formation of surficial titanium hydroperoxo species ([bond, triple bond]Ti-OOH) on the anode surface. The organic sorbates also act as scavengers of surface-bound hydroxyl radical [bond, triple bond]Ti-OH. As a result, the decomposition of H2O2 on the anode surface is significantly reduced. The cathodic production rate of H2O2 at low pH is enhanced due to proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) to O2, while the anodic decomposition of H2O2 is inhibited due to electrostatic interactions between negatively-charged organic substrates and a positively-charged outer surface of the anode (TiO2 pHzpc = 5.8) at low pH.

Modular advanced oxidation process enabled by cathodic hydrogen peroxide production.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is frequently used in combination with ultraviolet (UV) light to treat trace organic contaminants in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). In small-scale applications, such as wellhead and point-of-entry water treatment systems, the need to maintain a stock solution of concentrated H2O2 increases the operational cost and complicates the operation of AOPs. To avoid the need for replenishing a stock solution of H2O2, a gas diffusion electrode was used to generate low concentrations of H2O2 directly in the water prior to its exposure to UV light. Following the AOP, the solution was passed through an anodic chamber to lower the solution pH and remove the residual H2O2. The effectiveness of the technology was evaluated using a suite of trace contaminants that spanned a range of reactivity with UV light and hydroxyl radical (HO(•)) in three different types of source waters (i.e., simulated groundwater, simulated surface water, and municipal wastewater effluent) as well as a sodium chloride solution. Irrespective of the source water, the system produced enough H2O2 to treat up to 120 L water d(-1). The extent of transformation of trace organic contaminants was affected by the current density and the concentrations of HO(•) scavengers in the source water. The electrical energy per order (EEO) ranged from 1 to 3 kWh m(-3), with the UV lamp accounting for most of the energy consumption. The gas diffusion electrode exhibited high efficiency for H2O2 production over extended periods and did not show a diminution in performance in any of the matrices.

Quantification of OH and HO2 radicals during the low-temperature oxidation of hydrocarbons by Fluorescence Assay by Gas Expansion technique.

Project description:•OH and •HO2 radicals are known to be the key species in the development of ignition. A direct measurement of these radicals under low-temperature oxidation conditions (T = 550-1,000 K) has been achieved by coupling a technique named fluorescence assay by gas expansion, an experimental technique designed for the quantification of these radicals in the free atmosphere, to a jet-stirred reactor, an experimental device designed for the study of low-temperature combustion chemistry. Calibration allows conversion of relative fluorescence signals to absolute mole fractions. Such radical mole fraction profiles will serve as a benchmark for testing chemical models developed to improve the understanding of combustion processes.

Detailed product analysis during the low temperature oxidation of n-butane.

Project description:The products obtained from the low-temperature oxidation of n-butane in a jet-stirred reactor (JSR) have been analysed using two methods: gas chromatography analysis of the outlet gas and reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The mass spectrometer was combined with tunable synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization and coupled with a JSR via a molecular-beam sampling system. Experiments were performed under quasi-atmospheric pressure, for temperatures between 550 and 800 K, at a mean residence time of 6 s and with a stoichiometric n-butane/oxygen/argon mixture (composition = 4/26/70 in mol%). 36 reaction products have been quantified, including in addition to the usual oxidation products, acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, C(1), C(2) and C(4) alkylhydroperoxides and C(4) ketohydroperoxides. Evidence of the possible formation of products (dihydrofuranes, furanones) derived from cyclic ethers has also been found. The performance of a detailed kinetic model of the literature has been assessed with the simulation of the formation of this extended range of species. These simulations have also allowed the analysis of possible pathways for the formation of some obtained products.

Understanding activity trends in electrochemical water oxidation to form hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:Electrochemical production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from water oxidation could provide a very attractive route to locally produce a chemically valuable product from an abundant resource. Herein using density functional theory calculations, we predict trends in activity for water oxidation towards H2O2 evolution on four different metal oxides, i.e., WO3, SnO2, TiO2 and BiVO4. The density functional theory predicted trend for H2O2 evolution is further confirmed by our experimental measurements. Moreover, we identify that BiVO4 has the best H2O2 generation amount of those oxides and can achieve a Faraday efficiency of about 98% for H2O2 production.Producing hydrogen peroxide via electrochemical oxidation of water is an attractive route to this valuable product. Here the authors theoretically and experimentally investigate hydrogen peroxide production activity trends for a range of metal oxides and identify the optimal bias ranges for high Faraday efficiencies.

Polarized cell motility induces hydrogen peroxide to inhibit cofilin via cysteine oxidation.

Project description:Mesenchymal cell motility is driven by polarized actin polymerization [1]. Signals at the leading edge recruit actin polymerization machinery to promote membrane protrusion, while matrix adhesion generates tractive force to propel forward movement. To work effectively, cell motility is regulated by a complex network of signaling events that affect protein activity and localization. H2O2 has an important role as a diffusible second messenger [2], and mediates its effects through oxidation of cysteine thiols. One cell activity influenced by H2O2 is motility [3]. However, a lack of sensitive and H2O2-specific probes for measurements in live cells has not allowed for direct observation of H2O2 accumulation in migrating cells or protrusions. In addition, the identities of proteins oxidized by H2O2 that contribute to actin dynamics and cell motility have not been characterized. We now show, as determined by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy, that motile cells generate H2O2 at membranes and cell protrusions and that H2O2 inhibits cofilin activity through oxidation of cysteines 139 (C139) and 147 (C147). Molecular modeling suggests that C139 oxidation would sterically hinder actin association, while the increased negative charge of oxidized C147 would lead to electrostatic repulsion of the opposite negatively charged surface. Expression of oxidation-resistant cofilin impairs cell spreading, adhesion, and directional migration. These findings indicate that H2O2 production contributes to polarized cell motility through localized cofilin inhibition and that there are additional proteins oxidized during cell migration that might have similar roles.
