Oxidation of deuteroferrihaem by hydrogen peroxide.

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

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

Project description: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.

Fast oxidation of sulfur dioxide by hydrogen peroxide in deliquesced aerosol particles.

Project description:Atmospheric sulfate aerosols have important impacts on air quality, climate, and human and ecosystem health. However, current air-quality models generally underestimate the rate of conversion of sulfur dioxide (SO2) to sulfate during severe haze pollution events, indicating that our understanding of sulfate formation chemistry is incomplete. This may arise because the air-quality models rely upon kinetics studies of SO2 oxidation conducted in dilute aqueous solutions, and not at the high solute strengths of atmospheric aerosol particles. Here, we utilize an aerosol flow reactor to perform direct investigation on the kinetics of aqueous oxidation of dissolved SO2 by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) using pH-buffered, submicrometer, deliquesced aerosol particles at relative humidity of 73 to 90%. We find that the high solute strength of the aerosol particles significantly enhances the sulfate formation rate for the H2O2 oxidation pathway compared to the dilute solution. By taking these effects into account, our results indicate that the oxidation of SO2 by H2O2 in the liquid water present in atmospheric aerosol particles can contribute to the missing sulfate source during severe haze episodes.

Vanadium-doped phosphomolybdic acids as catalysts for geraniol oxidation with hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:In this work, vanadium-doped phosphomolybdic acids were evaluated as catalysts in green oxidation routes of terpene alcohols with hydrogen peroxide. A series of phosphomolybdic acids containing a variable load of vanadium cations (i.e., V5+ ions) were synthesized, and tested as catalysts in geraniol oxidation, the model molecule selected. All the catalysts were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, attenuated diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, scanning electronic microscopy, X-ray dispersive spectroscopy, and n-butylamine potentiometric titration. Various catalysts were evaluated; phosphomolybdic acids with general formulae H3+n PMo12-n V n O40 (n = 0, 1, 2 and 3), and common Brønsted acids (i.e., H2SO4, H3PO4, and p-toluene sulfonic acid). Among them, vanadium monosubstituted phosphomolybdic acid was the most active catalyst and selective toward epoxide. The effect of main reaction variables, such as temperature, load catalyst, and reactant stoichiometry was assessed. Evaluating the effect of substrate, it was verified that only allylic alcohols such as geraniol and nerol were successfully epoxidized, demonstrating that this is a hydroxy group-assisted reaction. The effect of vanadium doping on the physicochemical properties of the phosphomolybdic acid catalysts was evaluated and used to explain their catalytic performance.

Selective oxidation reactions of natural compounds with hydrogen peroxide mediated by methyltrioxorhenium.

Project description:We have investigated the oxidative behaviour of natural compounds such as methyl abietate (1), farnesyl acetate (2), α-ionone (3), β-ionone (4), methyl linolelaidate (5), methyl linolenate (6) and bergamottin (7) with the oxidant system methyltrioxo-rhenium/ H2O2/pyridine. The reactions, performed in CH2Cl2/H2O at 25 °C, have shown good regio- and stereoselectivity. The oxidation products were isolated by HPLC or silica gel chromatography and characterized by MS(EI), 1H-, 13C-NMR, APT, gCOSY, HSQC, TOCSY and NOESY measurements. The selectivity seems to be controlled by the nucleophilicity of double bonds and by stereoelectronic and steric effects.

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.

Hydrogen peroxide positively regulates brassinosteroid signaling through oxidation of the BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT1 transcription factor

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important signaling molecule in plant developmental processes and stress responses. However, whether H2O2-mediated signaling can crosstalk with plant hormone signaling is largely unclear. Here, we show that H2O2 induces oxidation of the BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT1 (BZR1) transcription factor, which functions as a master regulator of Brassinosteroid (BR) signaling. Oxidative modification enhances BZR1 transcriptional activity by promoting its interaction with regulators of auxin- and light-signaling, including AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR6 (ARF6) and PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR4 (PIF4). Genome-wide analysis shows that H2O2-dependent regulation of BZR1 activity plays a major role in modifying gene expression related to several BR-mediated biological processes. Furthermore, we show that the thioredoxin TRXh5 can interact with, and catalyze reduction of, BZR1. We conclude that reversible oxidation of BZR1 connects H2O2- and thioredoxin-mediated redox signaling to BR signaling to regulate plant development
