Reactive oxygen species (ROS) - These may be superoxide‚ hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide‚ and large number of these highly reactive species are generated by normal cellular processes‚ for example as a by-products of mitochondrial electron transport‚ or lipid peroxidation. A number of mutagens may also generate

3.3.2. Biologically treated POME From Fig. 9a and b‚ it is clear that there is no need of using high loading of C‚ N‚ S triple doped TiO2‚ TiO2-ZnO as maximum photoactivity can be achieved at 2 g/L. Even if high photocatalyst concentration is used‚ the degradation efficiency will be lowered. This result is in concord with the results of ........(2002) that the photodegradation of.....was relatively high at photocatalyst loading of ......and that high photocatalyst loading(RH > 10.6%‚ T = 318 K) hindered

plants‚ particularly flavonoids and other polyphenols has been reported to inhibit the propagation of free radical reactions‚ to protect the human body from disease (Kinsella et al.‚ 1993). Antioxidants are used in the food industry to increase the shelf life of the foods. Antioxidants scavenge radicals by inhibiting initiation and breaking of chain reaction‚ suppressing formation of free radicals by binding to the metal ions‚ reducing hydrogen peroxide and quenching superoxide and singlet oxygen (Shi

aerobic organisms through the presence of oxygen and high concentration of tellurite. Reactive oxygen species compounds such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‚ superoxide anion (O2-) and hydroxyl redical (OH-) are natural byproducts of the normal metabolism of oxygen that can be formed by exposure of cells to free-radical generating molecules like metals and metalloids. ROS compounds are generally very small molecules and are highly reactive due to the presence of unpaired valence shell electrons. Increase

TiO2 in Road Pavement Reduces NOx Abstract: The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that titanium dioxide (TiO2) can function as a photo catalytic compound when used in the preparation of warm-mix asphalt (WMA). The proposed asphalt mixture would combine the benefits of WMA such as reduced energy consumption and emission during production with the photo catalytic properties of TiO2 to trap and degrade organic and inorganic particles in the air. Two application methods were evaluated

that serve as the building blocks of carbohydrates. Monosaccharides are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones; that is‚ they are molecules with more than one hydroxyl group (-OH)‚ and a carbonyl group (C=O) either at the terminal carbon atom (aldose) or at the second carbon atom (ketose). The carbonyl group combines in aqueous solution with one hydroxyl group to form a cyclic compound (hemi-acetal or hemi-ketal). Monosaccharides are classified by the number of carbon atoms in the molecule; trioses have
