Utilization of Deaeration via Gas Permeation and Oxidative Stabilization of Pyrogallol

Abstract

The rates of oxidative decomposition for pyrogallol were determined at 3.0° in vehicles which had been prepared by passing deionized distilled water through a gas permeator. The vehicles prepared by gas permeation possessed varying dissolved oxygen concentrations which depended upon charging pressure and the residence time of effluent. A single pass through the permeator produced vehicles possessing dissolved oxygen concentrations of 05 ppm to 0.78 ppm with respect to a normal oxygen content of 8-9 ppm. A double pass through the permeator gave only trace amounts of dissolved oxygen. i.e., 0.01-0.02 ppm and this was found to be independent of charging pressure.
