The Oxidation of URIC Acid by Iodine in Aqueous Solution.

摘要

A kinetic study of the consumption of iodine by uric acid was undertaken to determine reactive intermediates in the oxidation of uric acid. The system was chosen as a practical and closely analogous model for the oxidation in uric acid by chlorinated waters. Rates were followed spectrophotometrically and were measured as a function of pH,temperature and initial concentration. It is concluded that the most important reactive intermediate in the oxidation is the monourate ion.
