  2. Fenton's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenton's_reagent

    Fenton's reagent is a solution of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) and an iron catalyst (typically iron(II) sulfate, FeSO 4). [1] It is used to oxidize contaminants or waste water as part of an advanced oxidation process. Fenton's reagent can be used to destroy organic compounds such as trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene).

  3. Paleothermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleothermometer

    The isotopic ratio of 18 O to 16 O, usually in foram tests or ice cores. High values mean low temperatures. Confounded by ice volume - more ice means higher δ 18 O values. Ocean water is mostly H 2 16 O, with small amounts of HD 16 O and H 2 18 O. In Standard Mean Ocean Water (SMOW) the ratio of D to H is 155.8 × 10 −6 and 18 O/ 16 O is ...

  4. Reference materials for stable isotope analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_materials_for...

    The δ values and absolute isotope ratios of common reference materials are summarized in Table 1 and described in more detail below. Alternative values for the absolute isotopic ratios of reference materials, differing only modestly from those in Table 1, are presented in Table 2.5 of Sharp (2007) [1] (a text freely available online), as well as Table 1 of the 1993 IAEA report on isotopic ...

  5. Isotope analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope_analysis

    Archaeological materials, such as bone, organic residues, hair, or sea shells, can serve as substrates for isotopic analysis. Carbon, nitrogen and zinc isotope ratios are used to investigate the diets of past people; these isotopic systems can be used with others, such as strontium or oxygen, to answer questions about population movements and cultural interactions, such as trade.

  6. Ellingham diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellingham_diagram

    The formation free energy of carbon dioxide (CO 2) is almost independent of temperature, while that of carbon monoxide (CO) has negative slope and crosses the CO 2 line near 700 °C. According to the Boudouard reaction , carbon monoxide is the dominant oxide of carbon at higher temperatures (above about 700 °C), and the higher the temperature ...

  7. Redfield ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redfield_ratio

    Iron-rich solution was added to 64 km 2 area which led to an increase in phytoplankton primary production. [21] As a result an extended Redfield ratio was developed to include this as part of this balance. This new stoichiometric ratio states that the ratio should be 106 C:16 N:1 P:0.1-0.001 Fe

  8. Green chemistry metrics - Wikipedia

    Furthermore, this metric is of interest to the pharmaceutical industry where development of carbon skeletons is key to their work. The atom economy calculation is a simple representation of the “greenness” of a reaction as it can be carried out without the need for experimental results.
