Oxalic acid is commonly used in industry. It is also found to be the main intermediate in many advanced oxidation processes for organic removal, especially in the Fenton process. In this study, we used an electrochemical oxidation process to mineralize oxalic acid. Effects of different cathodes, anions and concentration of ferric ion on current efficiency were discussed. Better current efficien...

The entrapped pomegranate extract or collagen hydrolysate increased, respectively, the ferric ion reducing power ACE-inhibitory effect of gels after in vitro gastrointestinal digestion.

The redox cycle of 2,5-dimethoxybenzoquinone (2,5-DMBQ) is proposed as a source of reducing equivalent for the regeneration of Fe2+ and H2O2 in brown rot fungal decay of wood. Oxalate has also been proposed to be the physiological iron reductant. We characterized the effect of pH and oxalate on the 2,5-DMBQ-driven Fenton chemistry and on Fe3+ reduction and oxidation. Hydroxyl radical formation ...

The calcic phosphates represent a complex family. Their conditions of crystallisation and inhibition were studied at various pH values. Phosphate precipitates obtained from artificial urine in the pH range (6.5; 7; 8) were identified using FTIR and XRD. At pH = 6.5 brushite accompanied by carbonated amorphous phosphate complexes precipitated while at pH = 7, the coexistence of brushite, struvit...

In the study of many types of biological material it has become of increasing importance to determine accurately extremely small amounts of iron. Since color reactions are, as a rule, very sensitive, calorimetric procedures are particularly useful in the microanalytical field, and several calorimetric methods have appeared in the literature on iron determination. Although the extremely sensitiv...

We have determined the 1.35- and 1.45-A structures, respectively, of closed and open iron-loaded forms of Mannheimia haemolytica ferric ion-binding protein A. M. haemolytica is the causative agent in the economically important and fatal disease of cattle termed shipping fever. The periplasmic iron-binding protein of this gram-negative bacterium, which has homologous counterparts in many other p...
