Chemical reaction oxidizing agents

Simultaneous occurrence of oxidation and reduction in a chemical reaction. Oxidizing agent reducing agent oxidation-reduction pair (couple). 

In the processing context, a combination of mechanical forces and chemical reactions (oxidation, etc.) deactivates enzymes. It should be noted that there is at present no systematic way of improving the stability of an enzyfhe. Each system has unique properties and stabilising agents must be selected in an empirical fashion. 

Destruction of the masking ligand by chemical reaction may be possible, as in the oxidation of EDTA in acid solutions by permanganate or another strong oxidizing agent. Hydrogen peroxide and Cu(II) ion destroy the tartrate complex of aluminum. 

The unique chemical behavior of KO2 is a result of its dual character as a radical anion and a strong oxidizing agent (68). The reactivity and solubiHty of KO2 is gready enhanced by a crown ether (69). Its usefiilness in furnishing oxygen anions is demonstrated by its appHcations in SN2-type reactions to displace methanesulfonate and bromine groups (70,71), the oxidation of benzyHc methylene compounds to ketones (72), and the syntheses of a-hydroxyketones from ketones (73). 

A thermal oxidizer is a chemical reactor in which the reaction is activated by heat and is characterized by a specific rate of reactant consumption. There are at least two chemical reactants, an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent. The rate of reaction is related both to the nature and to the concentration of reactants, and to the conditions of activation, ie, the temperature (activation), turbulence (mixing of reactants), and time of interaction.

Frontier Orbitals and Chemical Reactivity. Chemical reactions typically involve movement of electrons from an electron donor (base, nucleophile, reducing agent) to an electron acceptor (acid, electrophile, oxidizing agent). This electron movement between molecules can also be thought of as electron movement between molecular orbitals, and the properties of these electron donor and electron acceptor orbitals provide considerable insight into chemical reactivity.
