“…The kinetics and oxidation processes of pectates, 18 methyl cellulose, 19 alginates, 20 carboxymethyl cellulose, 21 chondroitin-4-sulfate 22 carbohydrates, and BTB 23 by potassium permanganate have been studied in basic solutions. However, the oxidation of methyl cellulose, 15 pectates, 24 carboxymethyl cellulose, 25 BTB, 26 N -(2-acetamido)imino diacetic acid, 27 poly(ethylene glycol), 28 2-butanol, 29 , 30 and mannitol 31 were investigated in acidic solutions. In these reactions, the pseudo-first-order plots were discovered to be reverse S-shape, and the reactions were found to proceed through free-radical intervention.…”
