Oxygen content, oxidizers

Another test is the total oxygen demand (TOD) test, which oxidizes the waste in the presence of a catalyst at 900°C in a stream of air. Under these harsh conditions, all the carbon is oxidized to CO2. The oxygen demand is calculated from the difference in oxygen content of the air before and after oxidation. The resulting value of TOD...

Combustion of alkanes is an example of oxidation-reduction Although It IS possible to calculate oxidation numbers of carbon m organic mole cules It IS more convenient to regard oxidation of an organic substance as an increase m its oxygen content or a decrease m its hydrogen content... 

Grade C, Type II is typical of Hquid oxygen used as a rocket propellant oxidizer. Particulate content is limited because of the critical clearances found in mechanical parts of the rocket engine. In addition to water, acetylene and methane are limited because, on long standing, oxygen evaporation could cause concentration of these combustible contaminants to reach hazardous levels. 

Upon storage, the amount of ted phosphoms in soHd white or Hquid phosphoms may increase if the material is exposed to light or contains contaminants such as iodine, sulfur, selenium, or sodium that catalyze the conversion from white to ted. Also, because white phosphoms is generally stored under water, some surface oxidation to form viscous white or colored polymeric oxyacids also occurs, especially if the oxygen content of the water can be replenished by exposure to air. 

Va.na.dium (II) Oxide. Vanadium(II) oxide is a non stoichiometric material with a gray-black color, metallic luster, and metallic-type electrical conductivity. Metal—metal bonding increases as the oxygen content decreases, until an essentially metal phase containing dissolved oxygen is obtained (14). 

Oxygen Control. To meet industrial standards for both oxygen content and the allowable metal oxide levels in feed water, nearly complete oxygen removal is required. This can be accompHshed only by efficient mechanical deaeration supplemented by an effective and properly controlled chemical oxygen scavenger. 

Od-fumace blacks used by the mbber iadustry contain over 97% elemental carbon. Thermal and acetylene black consist of over 99% carbon. The ultimate analysis of mbber-grade blacks is shown ia Table 2. The elements other than carbon ia furnace black are hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur, and there are mineral oxides and salts and traces of adsorbed hydrocarbons. The oxygen content is located on the surface of the aggregates as C O complexes. The... 

CllO. The most common commercial purity copper is CllO. The principal difference between CllO and C102 is oxygen content which typically can be up to 0.05% in CllO. Oxygen is present as cuprous oxide particles, which do not significantly affect strength and ductiHty, but CllO is susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. The properties of CllO are adequate for most appHcations and this alloy is less cosdy than higher purity copper. 

There are presently four famihes of high-temperature superconductors under investigation for practical magnet appheations. Table 11-25 shows that all HTS are copper oxide ceramics even though the oxygen content may vary. However, this variation generally has little effect on the phvsical properties of importance to superconductivity. 

Therefore at constant temperature of 300°C and 7.5 psig of pressure, the system uses air that has 500 PPM TCE in it. Complete oxidation of 500 PPM TCE would consume only 750 PPM of oxygen as can be seen from the stoichiometric reaction. This is not a significant change from the oxygen content of air.
