TT heoretical equilibrium models can be established for oxidation-reduc-- tion systems in natural waters in much the same way that acid-base or solubility models have been developed and found useful in interpreting observed concentrations of ions and other materials. To relate the theoretical models for redox processes to observed conditions and processes in the aquatic environment is, however, much more difficult and cannot be done as rigorously. Primarily this situation occurs because true oxidation-reduction equilibrium is not observed in any natural aquatic system this is partly because of the extreme slowness of most oxidation-... 

The data show a constant-slope linear dependence of the system limit C-factor on the liquid load. There was a shortage of data at low liquid loads. Later data (Fig. 14-76) showed that as the liquid load was reduced, the system limit C >ui, stopped increasing and reached a limiting value. Based on this observation, Stupin and Kister [Trans. IChemE 81, Part A, p. 136 (January 2003)] empirically revised the earlier Stupin/FRI correlation to give... 

Under tlie circumstances, it is reasonable to say that the reaction kinetics on the surface of carbon electrode is facilitated and hence the activation overpotential is not observed. However, the system resistance such as electrode, electrolyte, polymer electrolyte membrane, and carbon block could be dominant, influencing cell overpotential over all current ranges. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the system resistance by selecting the cell constituents with low resistance and optimising the cell assembly. 

I SSNMR experiments to characterize Br and I environments with reduced symmetry. Systems of this sort should enable additional chemical shift tensors and quadrupolar coupling parameters to be determined, thereby adding to our understanding of the relationships between the NMR observables and tire local... 

Furthermore, there is often a real benefit in understanding if we can show our experimental, or computational results in dimensionless form. The behavior of nature does not depend on the systerri of dimensions that we humans use to describe that behavior. Thus, the results of our observations, if they are correct, can be expressed in a form which is totally independent of the system of units we use. If they cannot, then we should wonder whether they, are correct. Finding the best way to reduce observations made in any system of units to dirhensionless form is always a good test of the experimental data, and often it is a good test of our understanding of that data. The application of... 

Numerous studies have demonstrated that the facile reduction of organic pollutants such as nitroaromatics, azo compounds, and polyhalogenated hydrocarbons can occur in anaerobic environments with exceedingly fast reaction rates. The most abundant electron donors in these systems include reduced iron and sulfur species. Laboratory studies, however, indicate that the rates of reduction by these bulk reductants are much slower than those observed in natural reducing systems. The addition of electron carriers or mediators to the laboratory systems is found to greatly accelerate the measured reduction rates. An electron shuttle system has been postulated to account for the enhanced reactivity observed in these laboratory studies and presumably in reducing natural systems (Dunnivant et al., 1992).
