Oscillatory reduction of bromate by aspirin in acidic aqueous solution
The experimental behavior of the uncatalyzed Belousov - Zhabotinsky reaction between aspirin and bromate in acidic media in the batch reactor has been studied for the first time. Aspirin is an interesting substrate because it is one of the most used medicines. The medical aspirin behaves also in an oscillatory manner with bromate. The oscillating process was investigated under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The complex dynamic behavior has been observed in the mixed aspirin - vitamin C-BrO3 - H2SO4 system.
