Conclusions
-
1.
In acetic acid solutions, the rate of thermal decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid is negligibly small in comparison with the decomposition catalyzed by vanadium compounds.
-
2.
In the presence of vanadium compounds, the decomposition of the individual (pure) hydrogen peroxide or peracetic acid is much slower than the reaction between these peroxides.
