Abstract

1. Oxidation ot tartronic acid has been studied and it has been shown that the oxidation of glycerol by ceric sulphate does not proceed via this acid by was presumed by earlier workers. 2. It has been shown that the oxidation of formic acid by pure ceric sulphate is negligible, but using chromium sulphate as catalyst, formic acid can be quantitatively oxidized. 3. Oxidation of glycol and glycerol can be carried out quantitatively either to the -formic acid stage or completely to carbon dioxide and water. A combination of the above provides a method for the estimation of the two compounds when present together in a mixture.
