Hydrogen peroxide-based oxidation reactions.

H2O2 activation and related reactions.
H2O2 + Fe2+ → Fe3+ + OH + •OH R 1
H2O2 + Fe3+ → Fe2+ + O2 + 2H+ R 2
O2 + Fe3+ → Fe2+ + O2 R 3
•OH + RhB → products k4 = 2.5 × 1010 1/M × s (Buxton et al., 1988) R 4
•OH + Σi=1n [Si] → products R 5
•OH + H2O2 → HO2 + H2O k6 = 2.7 × 107 1/M × s (Buxton et al., 1988) R 6
•OH + ≡Si → products R 7
2H2O2 Mn- and some Fe-oxides O2 + H2O R 8
2H2O2 Fe-oxide • OH2 + HO2 + H2O R 9
H2O2 UV 2 •OH R 10

Note: Σi=1n [Si] is the pseudo-first-order rate constant (ks 1/s) for •OH scavenging by all constituents in solution except the target compound.
