Oscillatory bromate-oxalic acid-Ce-acetone-sulfuric acid reaction, in CSTR

periodic oscillations were observed for the first time, in a cstr, in the system bromate-oxalic acid-ce(iv)-acetone-sulfuric acid, in a cstr. a reaction between ce(iv) and acetone, until now not described in the literature and occurring before the addition of the reagents to the reactor, was identified as a decisive factor for the appearing of the regular oscillations.
