Oxidizing agent

ABSTRACT: Acid mine drainage has a prominent and damaging effect on the environment. This paper outlines the environmental impact, the chemistry behind the acid generation, and methods of treatment. The objective of this paper is to educate the reader about acid mine drainage, and what can be done to reduce this pollutant. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: Acid mine drainage (AMD) often occurs at abandoned mining sites. Acid generation is the result of combining certain minerals, water, and an oxidant.…

(solar simulators) (“Xenon – Xe”). It can also be used as a general anesthetic and occasionally on the lights of cars because they are considered to be less tiring on the eyes. It can also be used with fluoride to create a powerful fluorinating agent. Xenon is also commercially produced through industrial liquid-air plants. World production of Xenon is less than 1 ton a year, but reserved Xenon gas in the atmosphere amounts to around 2 billion tons. Due to Xenon being a noble gas it…

plastic and textile industry, in the production of paraffin wax, and in household products such as varnish, varnish, paint remover, change agent for deformation of alcohol, glue, and as a cleaning agent. It has solvent properties similar to acetone but has a much slower rate. Potanon is also used in dry erase marks as a solvent of erasable dye. 1.2.4. as a welding agent 2. Polystyrene is also melted and sold as a "polystyrene cement" to be used to bind together parts of typical scale kits.…

Its function is to catalyze the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide, which is a toxic byproduct of many metabolic reactions, into harmless water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizing agent that is produced from aerobic metabolism. It will quickly destroy essential biomolecules in the cells that would eventually result in cell damage or cell death. Catalase plays an important role in regulating hydrogen peroxide in plants because…

Scientists use a scale to measure how acidic or basic a liquid is. That scale is called a pH scale. The pH scale is a number from zero to fourteen. Accordingly, zero to seven liquids are considered acid. However, seven is considered a neutral, like distilled water. Therefore, eight to fourteen the liquids are considered basic. For instance, a pH of two is going to be an acidic liquid. Thus, a pH of twelve would be measured as a basic liquid. Additionally, a strip of litmus paper will…

Element project (Br) Whats bromine? bromine (Br) is a deep red, noxious liquid, and a member of the halogen elements, or Group 17 group vlla of the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 35. What you will soon find out by my paper is how it's used in everyday life, how it's produced and its physical properties. Bromine was discovered in 1826 by the French chemist Antoine-Jérôme Balard in the residues from the manufacture of sea salt at Montpellier. He liberated the element by passing…

Chalcone and Pyrylium Syntheses and Analyses Done by: Natalie Almond & Sophie Troyer in approved collaboration Introduction Photoredox catalysis uses light to excite the catalytic compounds, producing an effective oxidizing agent.1 The oxidizing agent can remove an electron from the desired compound for reaction, making it easier to synthesize molecules.1 One example of the utility of photoredox catalysis is the “production of lignan cyclobutanes,” which have many important pharmaceutical…

Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry consists of many different levels of dentists who cover the area of cosmetic dentistry. While all cosmetic dentists offer cosmetic dentistry to one degree or another they do not all offer the same services. There are varying levels of cosmetic dentistry and it is important that you understand what the specialties are of the cosmetic dentist you are considering hiring. Not all cosmetic dentists offer the same services, nor do they have the same experience level or…

A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a reaction, without undergoing that reaction. When it is used in forensics, the catalyst is iron, found in hemoglobin, therefore accelerating a chemical reaction. Compounds react with the oxidizing agent, replacing nitrogen and hydrogen…

ventilation, wear the adequate respiratory equipment. If aniline is ingested, immediately call for a medical advice and show the label or container. Avoid the contact with eyes and skin. Keep away from the incompatibles for example acids, oxidizing agents, alkalis, and metals. b) Storage: Aniline is sensitive to the light and Air. So must be stored in container that is light resistance. Containers must be kept in a well ventilated and cool area. The containers should be…
