Abstract
In dissociation experiments of H2O2 under shock wave conditions, the spectra of H2O2 and HO2 have been observed in the UV at 2200 ≤ 2800 Å. By the use of these spectra the H2O2 decomposition in the presence of H2 and CO at 870 ≤ T ≤ 1000°K has been analyzed. It was found that in this temperature range, in contrast to low temperature behavior, reactions of H atoms with H2O2 and with HO2 are equally important. The rate of the reaction H + H2O2 ← HO2 + H2 was estimated in comparison with the rate of the reaction between H and HO2. Good agreement between calculated and measured concentration profiles of HO2 and H2O2 was obtained.
