Complex oscillations in the simulation of Ce(Ⅲ)/(Ⅳ) catalyzed BZ reaction Xiong Xiaogen*, Lu Yongchao College of Chemical Engineering, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou(221008) Email: xiongxiaogen@163.com Abstract In this paper we summarize the observation of homogeneous kinetics in the simulation of Ce(Ⅲ)/(Ⅳ) catalyzed BZ reaction in CSTR. Flow rate was set as control parameter and several kinds of complex oscillations were found in this model. When control parameter was decreased, a sequence of transition from steady state to complex oscillations at high flow rate and then from complex oscillations to steady state at low flow rate was found. Keywords: BZ reaction; 4-variable model; complex oscillations 1 Introduction The Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction[1,2] is one of the most classical example of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The only common element in these oscillating systems are the inclusion of bromine and an organic acid. The most commonly used organic substrates include malonic acid, methylmalonic acid and citric acid. Different metal-ion catalysts which include the redox couples Ce(Ⅲ)/( Ⅳ), ferroin/ferriin and Mn( Ⅱ)/Mn(Ⅲ) are used in these reactions[3]. These reactions provides wide variety of nonlinear phenomena. BZ reactions are widely used in the designing and characterizing of chemical oscillation[4] and pattern formation[5-9] and the mathematical model of the BZ reactions themselves are of theoretical interests.
