“…Hronec and Ilavsky (1982) reported aperiodic oscillations in the exit oxygen concentrations in the isothermal oxidation of a mixture of a p-xylene and p-toluic acid (catalyzed) and of n-Dodecane (uncatalyzed) in an air-sparged reactor. A number of papers (Jensen, 1983;Roelofs et al, 1983;Reimus et al, 1989Reimus et al, , 1990 discussed oscillations in the air-oxidation of benzaldehyde under the catalytic influence of C02+/Br. The oscillations were initially observed as periodic changes in solution color and oxidation potential, but subsequently (Roelofs et al, 1983) were also observed in dissolved oxygen concentrations.…”
