Abstract

The kinetics and mechanism of the decomposition of thiourea dioxide in an aqueous alkaline solution under aerobic and anaerobic conditions are established. It is discovered that along with the decomposition of thiourea dioxide molecules with C–S bond cleavage and the subsequent formation of sulfoxyl acid anions, there is a reversible stage of the formation of thiourea and peroxide anions. The rate constants of the indicated stages are determined via mathematical modeling using the experimental data.
