The process of auto-oxidation-reduction is also used manganate ion is stable in alkaline solution, but not in neutral or acidic solution. The addition of any acid, even carbon dioxide (carbonic acid), to a manganate solution causes the production of permanganate ion and the precipitation of manganese dioxide ... 

Although the spectra of oxidized bacterial and plant ferredoxins are different, Fig. 4 shows that, when reduced, their absorption spectra are remarkably similar. In both cases, the absorbancy peaks in the visible region disappear, while there is little change in ultraviolet absorption. In Fig. 4 the ferredoxins were reduced by hydrogen gas with a bacterial hydrogenase preparation. When air was admitted into the cuvettes, both ferredoxins were auto-oxidized and showed their original absorption spectra (Fig. 3). Ferredoxins, therefore, are like cytochrome c in that reduction and oxidation is a reversible process. However, unlike the cytochromes, the ferredoxins are colored in the oxidized state and colorless when reduced. 

Auto-oxidation of cysteine residues during cleavage of the disulfide bridge-containing proteins is a potential concern. This concern can be addressed by first reducing those proteins at alkaline pH ( 8.0) with either 2-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol (Equation (1)) and then alkylating with iodoacetic acid to S-carboxymethyl derivatives (Equation (2)) The reduction-alkylation process also disrupts the 3D structure of proteins to allow more sites accessible for cleavage. 

In the first case, it is possible to identify a maximum rate this profile is typical of auto-catalysed reactions. In the second case, the rate of reaction decreases continuously until the reaction process is completed as there is a continuous decrease of the metal /oxide interface. It is common, in catalysis, to have a supported system that may exhibit a different reductive behaviour in comparison to unsupported metal oxides due to possible interactions between the metal and the support. The metal/support interactions may modify the reaction mechanism, promoting the atom diffusion on the surface of supported metal oxides or inhibiting the reduction process. This last is the case of cobalt supported on alumina, where cobalt aluminate, that is a system very difficult to be reduced. 

Recently there has been an increasing interest in self-oscillatory phenomena and also in formation of spatio-temporal structure, accompanied by the rapid development of theory concerning dynamics of such systems under nonlinear, nonequilibrium conditions. The discovery of model chemical reactions to produce self-oscillations and spatio-temporal structures has accelerated the studies on nonlinear dynamics in chemistry. The Belousov-Zhabotinskii(B-Z) reaction is the most famous among such types of oscillatory chemical reactions, and has been studied most frequently during the past couple of decades [1,2]. The B-Z reaction has attracted much interest from scientists with various discipline, because in this reaction, the rhythmic change between oxidation and reduction states can be easily observed in a test tube. As the reproducibility of the amplitude, period and some other experimental measures is rather high under a found condition, the mechanism of the B-Z reaction has been almost fully understood until now. The most important step in the induction of oscillations is the existence of auto-catalytic process in the reaction network. 

The alcohol-unsaturate couplings developed in our laboratory provide products of carbonyl addition. In contrast, related hydrogen auto-transfer processes provide products of alcohol substitution via pathways involving oxidation-condensation-reduction and the use of preactivated nucleophiles. For recent reviews, see [22-25]. 

Vanyukov process has been used for decades, and OSBS process has also been applied for above ten years. Lots of experience on industrial production has accumulated on oxidative smelting, reductive smelting, consecutive operation and periodical operation. The furnace itself and its auxiliary equipments, including waste heat boiler, oxygen production, water recycle system, auto control system, have normative design, produetion and installation procedures.
