  2. Oxidizing agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidizing_agent

    The international pictogram for oxidizing chemicals. Dangerous goods label for oxidizing agents. An oxidizing agent (also known as an oxidant, oxidizer, electron recipient, or electron acceptor) is a substance in a redox chemical reaction that gains or "accepts"/"receives" an electron from a reducing agent (called the reductant, reducer, or electron donor).

  3. Oxidizing and reducing flames - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidizing_and_reducing_flames

    Reducing, neutral and oxidizing oxyacetylene flames. A flame is affected by the fuel introduced and the oxygen available. A flame with a balanced oxygen-fuel ratio is called a neutral flame. The color of a neutral flame is semi-transparent purple or blue. [1] This flame is optimal for many uses because it does not oxidize or deposit soot onto ...

  4. Antimony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimony

    Antimony-124 is used together with beryllium in neutron sources; the gamma rays emitted by antimony-124 initiate the photodisintegration of beryllium. [101] [102] The emitted neutrons have an average energy of 24 keV. [103] Natural antimony is used in startup neutron sources.

  5. Fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_cell

    Demonstration model of a direct methanol fuel cell (black layered cube) in its enclosure Scheme of a proton-conducting fuel cell. A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel (often hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often oxygen) [1] into electricity through a pair of redox reactions. [2]

  6. Merox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merox

    Merox is an acronym for mercaptan oxidation.It is a proprietary catalytic chemical process developed by UOP used in oil refineries and natural gas processing plants to remove mercaptans from LPG, propane, butanes, light naphthas, kerosene, and jet fuel by converting them to liquid hydrocarbon disulfides.

  7. Oxidizing acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidizing_acid

    An oxidizing acid is a Brønsted acid that is a strong oxidizing agent. Most Brønsted acids can act as oxidizing agents, because the acidic proton can be reduced to hydrogen gas. Some acids contain other structures that act as stronger oxidizing agents than hydrogen ions. Generally, they contain oxygen in their anionic structure.

  8. Thermal oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_oxidation

    The technique forces an oxidizing agent to diffuse into the wafer at high temperature and react with it. The rate of oxide growth is often predicted by the Deal–Grove model. [1] Thermal oxidation may be applied to different materials, but most commonly involves the oxidation of silicon substrates to produce silicon dioxide.

  9. Electro-oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-oxidation

    Simple scheme of the apparatus for electro-oxidation process. The set-up for performing an electro-oxidation treatment consists of an electrochemical cell.An external electric potential difference (aka voltage) is applied to the electrodes, resulting in the formation of reactive species, namely hydroxyl radicals, in the proximity of the electrode surface.
