Abstract::
Activated peroxide systems are formed by adding so-called bleach activators to aqueous solution of hydrogen
peroxide, developed in the seventies of the last century for use in domestic laundry for their high energy efficiency and introduced
at the beginning of the 21st century to the textile industry as an approach toward overcoming the extensive energy
consumption in bleaching. In activated peroxide systems, bleach activators undergo perhydrolysis to generate more kinetically
active peracids that enable bleaching under milder conditions while hydrolysis of bleach activators and decomposition
of peracids may occur as side reactions to weaken the bleaching efficiency. This mini-review aims to summarize these competitive
reactions in activated peroxide systems and their influence on bleaching performance.
