Glyphosate, one of the organophosphate herbicides, has been widely used in the word. The removal of glyphosate was comparatively investigated by MnO2 oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, and electrochemically assisted MnO2 oxidation (electro-MnO2) processes. The effects of MnO2 dosage, current density, and solution pH on glyphosate removal and Mn release were examined. The results indicated th...

There are strong indications that oxidative phosphorylation processes are involved in the activation (or “priming, ” “sparking” (1)) of enzymatic fatty acid oxidation (l-5). Two major points of evidence exist: first, it is known that simultaneous oxidation of intermediates of the Krebs tricarboxylic acid cycle under conditions in which oxidative phosphorylation may be observed is required to ac...

The catalytic oxidation of toluene over copper oxide supported on natural diatomite was investigated. The catalyst was prepared by the wet impregnation method and characterized by using the Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET), field emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) analysis. The highest catalytic ...

The electrooxidation of 1,3-butanediol (1,3-BD) on platinum electrodes in perchloric and sulphuric acid solutions was studied by using cyclic voltammetry and in situ FTIR spectroscopy. The determination of intermediates and products involved in 1,3-BD oxidation was carried out in solutions prepared using either millipore water or deuterated water as solvent. The in situ FTIRS data acquired from...

Oxidation of azafulleroids with peracids regenerated C60 depending on the N-substituents. Alkyl-substituted azafulleroids preferred the oxidation of nitrogen to afford N-oxides as possible intermediates for C60 in moderate yields. Phenyl- and tosyl-substituted azafulleroids rather allowed the oxidation at the carbon cage. Theoretical calculations predicted the order of reactivity of azafulleroi...

The spectroscopic and kinetic characterization of two intermediates from the H₂O₂ oxidation of three dimethyl ester [(proto), (meso), (deuteroporphyrinato) (picdien)]Fe(III) complexes ([FePPPic], [FeMPPic] and [FeDPPic], respectively) pinch-porphyrin peroxidase enzyme models, with s = 5/2 and 3/2 Fe(III) quantum mixed spin (qms) ground states is described herein. The kinetic study by UV/Vis at ...

Electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) were used to monitor the oxidation of phenol by a novel heterogeneous Fenton system based on a Fe(0)/Fe(3)O(4) composite and H(2)O(2). On-line ESI-MS(/MS) shows that this heterogeneous system promotes prompt oxidation of phenol to hydroquinone, which is subsequently oxidized to quinone, other cyclic poly-h...

As part of a mechanistic study of the electrooxidation of C1 molecules we have systematically investigated the dissociative adsorption/oxidation of formaldehyde on a polycrystalline Pt film electrode under experimental conditions optimizing the chance for detecting weakly adsorbed reaction intermediates. Employing in situ IR spectroscopy in an attenuated total reflection configuration (ATR-FTIR...
