Micellar Effects on the Reactions of Chromium(VI) Oxidation of Lactic Acid and Malic Acid in the Presence and Absence of Picolinic Acid in Aqueous Acid Media

Abstract

Among the different chelating agents like 1,10phenanthroline, 2,2/-bipyridyl, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and oxalic acid acting as catalysts [1,2] in Cr(VI) oxidation of different substrates, the catalytic ability [2,3,4] of picolinic acid (PA) is unique and of considerable interest. Picolinic acid (PA) is never cooxInorganic Reaction Mechanisims, Vol. 6, pp. 141-149 © 2006 Old City Publishing, Inc.
