Small-Amplitude and Mixed-Mode pH Oscillations in the Bromate-Sulfite-Ferrocyanide-Aluminum(III) System
The BrO3--SO32--Fe(CN)(6)(4-) (BSF) pH-oscillatory system is coupled to the Al(OH)(3) precipitation equilibrium (BSFA system) and studied in a stirred flow reactor. The dynamic behavior of the BSFA system differs significantly from that of the BSF system. In addition to the large-amplitude pH oscillations found in the BSF system, new small-amplitude and mixed-mode oscillations occur. A detailed mechanism of the BSFA system is developed and investigated.
