Background: It is well established that oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL) plays a causal role in human atherogenesis and the risk of atherosclerosis is increased in patients with diabetes mellitus. We examined the in vitro effect of glucose on native and glycated LDL oxidation using copper ion dependent oxidation system. Methods: In this study, LDL was isolated from plasma...

the effects of different concentrations of cdcl2 and alcl3 on nh4+ and no2? oxidation in an aqueous system were investigated. alcl3 had no effect on nh4+ removal and its oxidation to no2?, whereas no2? disappearance was greatly enhanced by alcl3. in contrast, cdcl2 delayed removal of nh4+ and its subsequent oxidation to no2? and also decreased the rate of no2? disappearance. when compared to th...

Long–term stability and oxidation resistance of AISI 439 ferritic stainless steel used as interconnects in solid oxide fuel cells can be improved by use of a protective coating. In this study the pack cementation method was employed to coat AISI 439 ferritic stainless steel with manganese. Isothermal oxidation was conducted at 800 ºC for 200 hours in static air to investigate the role of coatin...

In this article, the catalytic activity of bis[2-(p-tolyliminomethyl)phenolato] copper(II) complex was studied, for the first time, in the oxidation of various primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones. The effect of different solvent was studied in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and methanol was chosen as the reaction medium. Also the effect of different oxidant...

The aim of this work is to optimize the oxidation resistance of ZrB2-SiC-based composites with different additives. Effect of nine factors including SiC, Cf, MoSi2, HfB2 and ZrC contents, milling time of Cf (M.t) and SPS parameters such as temperature, time and pressure on oxidation resistance in four levels was investigated. Taguchi design was applied to explore effective parameters for ...

sponge iron (dri) due to the high surface area, often shows a high tendency to re-oxidation and at some cases spontaneous combustion (autoignition). in this work, re-oxidation behavior and autoignition of sponge iron, produced from different types of iron ore has been investigated. isothermal and non-isothermal re-oxidation experiments were carried out on each type of dri and their autoignition...

background: mature landfill leachate is a complicated mixture which is resistant to biological treatment processes. the treatment of mature landfill leachate by struvite precipitation and fenton oxidation was the main objective of the current research. methods: struvite with the phosphate/ammonia/magnesium molar ratio of 1/1/1.05 was considered during all experiments. five initial phs of 3, 4, ...
