noncatalytic and nonoxidative conversion of methane in a dielectric barrier discharge (dbd) reactor is examined at different temperatures, gas residence times and input powers. in addition, the ratio of methane to helium as a diluant, is changed in the range of 0.6 to 1.8. results show significant synergetic effects of plasma, temperature and helium on the methane conversion and c2+ selectiviti...

The oxidative and nonoxidative conversion of ethylene in a dielectric barrier discharge the presence water with formation predominantly unsaturated compounds (acetylene, butene, butadiene) has been studied. efficiency argon is shown comparison its oxidation by air into oxygenates. A simple theoretical estimate energy loss electrons feed gas mixture kinetic calculations make it possible to expla...

Ethanol is a widely used psychoactive drug whose chronic abuse is associated with organ dysfunction and disease. Although the prevalent metabolic fate of ethanol in the human body is oxidation a smaller fraction undergoes nonoxidative metabolism yielding ethyl glucuronide, ethyl sulfate, phosphatidylethanol and fatty acid ethyl esters. Nonoxidative ethanol metabolites persist in tissues and bod...

The activated sludge process is commonly used to treat wastewater by aerobic oxidation of organic pollutants into carbon dioxide and water. However, several nonoxidative mechanisms can also contribute to removal of organics. Sorption onto activated sludge can remove a large fraction of the colloidal and particulate wastewater organics. Intracellular storage of, e.g., polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)...

The formation of pentose phosphate from hexose monophosphate involves either the oxidative pathway from glucose 6phosphate through 6-phosphogluconate or the series of nonoxidative transfer reactions catalyzed by transketolase and transaldolase, in which sedoheptulose 7-phosphate is an intermediate (1). In mammalian tissues the nonoxidative pathway appears to play a major role (2-5), accounting ...
