Oxidation of cyclic hydrocarbons by cobalt(III) acetate

Oxidation of alkyl-substituted cyclic hydrocarbons by a Nocardia during growth on n-alkanes.

Nocardia 107-332, a soil isolate, oxidizes short-chain alkyl-substituted cyclic hydrocarbons to cyclic acids while growing on n-alkanes. Cyclic acids are produced also from relatively long-chain alkyl-substituted cyclics such as n-nonylbenzene or n-dodecylbenzene which alone support growth in a mineral-salts medium. omega-Oxidation of the alkyl substituents is followed by beta-oxidation. It is ...

Remediation of total petroleum hydrocarbons using combined in-vessel composting ‎and oxidation by activated persulfate

This study was investigated the efficiency of activated persulfate and ‎in-vessel composting for removal of total petroleum hydrocarbons. ‎Remediation by activated persulfate with ferrous sulfate as pre-treatment was done at batch system. In the chemical oxidation, various variables including persulfate concentrations (10-3000 mg/g as waste), ...

Acetate oxidation by dissimilatory Fe(III) reducers.

Subterminal oxidation of aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Evidence is presented for a catabolic pathway of n-alkane oxidation which proceeds via subterminal oxidation rather than methyl group oxidation.

Heterogeneous OH oxidation of motor oil particles causes selective depletion of branched and less cyclic hydrocarbons.

Motor oil serves as a useful model system for atmospheric oxidation of hydrocarbon mixtures typical of anthropogenic atmospheric particulate matter, but its complexity often prevents comprehensive chemical speciation. In this work we fully characterize this formerly "unresolved complex mixture" at the molecular level using recently developed soft ionization gas chromatography techniques. Nuclea...
