The study of the electrochemical and chemical oxidative degradation of salicylic and acetylsalicylic acid
Tonnerová, Barbora ; Kubíčková, Anna (advisor) ; Křížek, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of this Thesis was to study the degradation of salicylic acid by the electrochemical oxidation. The electrochemical oxidation of salicylic acid was compared to the electrochemical oxidation of acetylsalicylic acid. Two electrochemical cells were tested - batch cell and thin- layer flow-cell. The newly developed and validated method of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography has been used to analyse the degradation products, salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid. The optimal analysis was made by the Kinetex column C18 (2,1 x 100 mm; 1,7 µm) and mobile phase with two components - acetonitrile and water with addition of 0,1% formic acid. These two components of the mobile phase were mixed by the gradient program from 10 % to 60 % (v/v) acetonitrile. The mobile phase flow was set to 0,3 ml min-1 and the volume of injection was 2 µl. The detection was performed by photodiode array detector at the wavelength 240 nm. Total time of the analysis was 11 minutes. The electrochemical degradation has been studied by an anodic oxidation in a flow cell with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode and a stainless-steel cathode. The samples of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid was dissolved in the ammonium acetate, concentration 200 mmol dm-3 at pH=4,0. The 20 % oxidation rate of salicylic acid was...
