SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE PRODUCTS OF LIQUID-PHASE P-CYMENE OXIDATION BY OXYGEN WITH MATHEMATICAL PROCESSING OF THE SPECTRA,
Abstract
The use of the infrared spectra for the quantitative analysis of the products of the oxidation of p-Cymene with acetic acid as the oxidizing agent is described and discussed in this article. A catalyst (cobalt bromide) was added to facilitate the oxidation which was performed at 100C. The analysis was conducted on IKS-12 in the 650-1000, 1650-2000, and 2500-3000/cm ranges. For the different tests, the thickness of the layer was varied from 0.03 to 0.1 cm. Chloroform was the solvent used. The spectra ordinates were taken every 5/cm, and all calculations were performed on the 'Ural 2' electronic computer. It was concluded that by using infrared spectra and the corresponding statistical methods, one can perform the analysis of a complex mixture of the products of a chemical reaction quickly and accurately. Using appropriate statistical models on electronic computers expedites the experimental phase of the development of this type of method. (Author)
