Abstract

Ditertiary butyl chromate (TBC) has been used to oxidize citric acid in different molar proportions and the solid products obtained have been isolated and analyzed. Elemental analysis, IR and thermal studies have been carried out. The thermal decomposition pattern, mechanism of decomposition and evaluation of kinetic parameters of the products have been reported in this paper.
