Studies on the Mechanism of Methemoglobin Formation by Nitrite : Inhibition of Methemoglobin Formation by Vitamin E (tocopherol)

‏‎suppression of coke formation in thermal cracking by coke inhibitors‎‏

‏‎the main purpose of this research was to:1.develop a coking model for thermal cracking of naphtha.2.study coke inhibition methods using different coke inhibitors.developing a coking model in naphtha cracking reactors requires a suitable model of the thermal cracking reactor based on a reliable kinetic model.to obtain reliable results all these models shall be solved simultaneously.for this pu...

The Formation of Methemoglobin by Streptococcus Viridans

Cultures of Streptococcus viridans when brought into contact with red blood corpuscles have the power of transforming oxyhemoglobin into methemoglobin. The reaction occurs only in the presence of living streptococci when they are able to carry on their metabolic activities. The intensity of the reaction runs roughly parallel with the period of growth and multiplication of the bacteria and gradu...

Methemoglobin Formation in Human Blood by Cobalt

Although the erythropoietic effect of cobalt has been amply demonstrated in experimental animals (1-3), in normal human beings (4, 5), and in certain types of anemia (4, 6-8), the mechanism of this increased blood formation has not been elucidated. No evidence has been adduced that administration of cobalt causes a decrease in oxygen capacity (9) or alters the oxygen dissociation curve (10, 11)...

Methemoglobin formation in human erythrocytes by nitroaromatic explosives.

We have examined the structure-activity relationships in methemoglobin (MetHb) formation by high explosives 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl-N-nitramine (tetryl) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl-N-nitraminoethylnitrate (pentryl), and a number of model nitrobenzenes. In lysed human erythrocytes the rate constants of oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb) oxidation increased with an increase in single-el...
