periodate

The methods of periodates and sodium percarbonate activation are considered for planning strategic approaches to increasing the efficiency and intensity of oxidative degradation of organic pollutants in aquatic environments. A classification of periodate activation methods is proposed, including activation methods by external energy effects, catalytic activation methods, and other activation methods (e.g., by hydrogen peroxide, by hydroxylamine, activation in alkaline medium). Activation methods for sodium percarbonate were divided into homogeneous and heterogeneous activation methods.

The catalytic effect of ruthenium chloride on the outer sphere electron transfer of hexacyanoferrate(II) by periodate ion in aqueous alkaline medium has been effectively employed to determine ruthenium(III) at micro level. The optimum reaction condition has been established and fixed time procedure is adopted. A linear relationship between changes in absorbance and added Ru(III) concentration has been utilized for the trace level determination of Ru(III).
