Scapho-capitate fracture (Fenton syndrome) is a rare lesion and is even less well-documented in adolescents. The most frequent mechanism is possible forced extension and hyperextension of the wrist. We report a case of 15 years old boy with hyperextension injury to the wrist. The true diagnosis was made 2 weeks later. Treatment involved open reduction and internal fixation with K-wires and Herb...

the performance of a plug flow electrocoagulation reactor for the treatment of cattle abattoir(slaughterhouse) wastewater was investigated. a cylindrical iron reactor was operated as a cathode at arecycling batch mode while three iron rods located at the center of the reactor were used as an anode. theeffects of different parameters, including the current density, the supporting electrolyte dos...

refining oil-contaminated soils has a great importance especially in oil producer countries such as iran. different methods have been provided to eliminate oil contaminations from soil. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hydrogen peroxide concentration in refining oil-contaminated soils with fenton chemical method. to do this, a calcareous soil complex sample was collected a...

Using ESR spin-trapping techniques with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO), we confirmed the 1:1 stoichiometry for the formation of hydroxyl radicals with Fe2+ in the Fenton reaction under experimental conditions wherein [H2O2] is 90 microM and [Fe2+] is very low, 1 microM or less. The stoichiometry decreased markedly as the Fe2+ concentration was increased. The efficiency of hydroxyl radi...

In a fundamental process throughout nature, reduced iron unleashes the oxidative power of hydrogen peroxide into reactive intermediates. However, notwithstanding much work, the mechanism by which Fe(2+) catalyzes H2O2 oxidations and the identity of the participating intermediates remain controversial. Here we report the prompt formation of O=Fe(IV)Cl3(-) and chloride-bridged di-iron O=Fe(IV) · ...

Ectomycorrhizal fungi play a key role in mobilizing nutrients embedded in recalcitrant organic matter complexes, thereby increasing nutrient accessibility to the host plant. Recent studies have shown that during the assimilation of nutrients, the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus decomposes organic matter using an oxidative mechanism involving Fenton chemistry (Fe(2+) + H2O2 + H(+) → Fe...

The oxidation of amino acids by Fenton reagent (H2O2 + Fe(II] leads mainly to the formation of NH+4, alpha-ketoacids, CO2, oximes, and aldehydes or carboxylic acids containing one less carbon atom. Oxidation is almost completely dependent on the presence of bicarbonate ion and is stimulated by iron chelators at levels which are substoichiometric with respect to the iron concentration but is inh...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been postulated as viable, innovative, and efficient technologies for the removal of pollutants from water bodies. Among AOPs, photo-Fenton shown to be effective degradation various types organic compounds in industrial wastewater. Monometallic iron catalysts are limited practical applications due their low catalytic activity, poor stability, recyclabili...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been reported as alternative ways for treating reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate which is the primary concern water reclamation plants. AOPs are known to oxidize recalcitrant organic compounds by a highly reactive and nonselective oxidant, hydroxyl radical (<sup>?</sup>OH). Researchers showed that such conventional Fenton, UV/H<sub>2<...
