The Rate of Uptake of Carbon Monoxide and of Nitric Oxide by Normal Human Erythrocytes and Experimentally Produced Spherocytes

Rate of Uptake of Carbon Monoxide and of N I T R I C O X I D E by Normal Human Erythrocytes

The uptake of gases such as oxygen, carbon monoxide, or nitric oxide by the erythrocyte involves: (a) diffusion across the cellular membrane, (b) intraerythrocytic diffusion, and (c) chemical combination with hemoglobin. The aim of this investigation was to obtain data which would permit an analysis of each of these factors in limiting the rate of gas uptake. The initial over-aU rate of uptake ...

Catalytic Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide by Cobalt Oxide Catalysts Supported on Oxidized-MWCNT

Cobalt oxide catalysts supported on oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) for the low-temperature catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide were prepared by an impregnation-ultrasound method. These catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption, TEM, XRD, Raman, and H2-TPR methods. The XRD and Raman results indicated that the phase of the synthesized cobalt...
