Abstract
A process for oxidizing an organic compound by ceric sulfate dissolved in an aqueous sulfuric acid solution, wherein the organic compound is oxidized (1) by means of a ceric sulfate-aqueous sulfuric acid solution or a cerous sulfate-containing ceric sulfate-aqueous sulfuric acid solution in which the molar concentration (mol/liter) of ceric sulfate is at least the molar concentration of cerium (ions) contained in the molecules of cerous sulfate at the maximum solubility of cerous sulfate in an aqueous sulfuric acid solution at the final sulfuric acid concentration (exclusive of ceric sulfate and cerous sulfate) and at the temperature under the oxidation reaction conditions and at most the saturated molar concentration of ceric sulfate in said aqueous sulfuric acid solution, (2) under a condition such that at the end of the oxidation reaction, the concentration of ceric sulfate is maintained at a level capable of dissolving cerous sulfate which is present at a concentration of at least the maximum solubility of cerous sulfate in said aqueous sulfuric acid solution.
