The principal objective of this study was to assess the effects of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) extracted from egg yolk on the oxidation of tocopherol-stripped canola oil and its browning, as well as their content changes during 12 hr of heating at $180^{\circ}C$. PC and/ or PE contents in the oil were measured at 200, 500, 1,000, or 2,000 ppm. PL contents in the oil and oil browning were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectrophotometry, respectively. The oil oxidation was evaluated by the combination of fatty acid composition, conjugated dienoic acid content, and p-anisidine value. PC was degraded at a slower rate than PE during heating and the co-presence of PE reduced its rate of degradation. PE increased oil browning more profoundly than PC did. PC significantly reduced oil oxidation during heating; however, we noted a possible antagonism between PE and PC in reducing the oil oxidation. Egg yolk PC was a better antioxidant in oil oxidation during heating.

Birnessite, pyrolusite and hausmannite were synthesized and tested for the ability to oxidize Cr(III) to Cr(VI). These oxides differed in zero point of charge, surface area, and crystallinity. The kinetic study showed that Cr(III) oxidation on the Mn-oxide surface is a first-order reaction. The reaction rate was various for different oxide at different conditions. Generally the reaction by hausmannite, containing Mn(III), was faster than the others, and oxidation by pyrolusite was much slower. Solution pH and initial Cr(III) concentration had a significant effect on the reaction. Inhibited oxidation at higher pH and initial Cr(III) concentration could be due to the chance of Cr(III) precipitation or complexing on the oxide surface. Oxidations by birnessite and hausmannite were faster at lower pH, but pyrolusite exhibited increased oxidation capacity at higher pH in the range between 3.0 and 5.0. Reactions were also temperature sensitive. Although calculated activation energies for the oxidation reactions at pH 3.0 were higher than the general activation energy for diffusion, there is no experimental evidence to suggest which reaction is the rate limiting step.

In the oxidation process of the $NH_3/O_2$ oxidation method, adding $NH_3$ gas to $O_2$ gas, the detected outlet gases in the reaction quartz chamber are N2, $O_2$ and $H_2O$ and in addition, a very small quantity of $CO_2$, NO and $NO_2$ are detected. Two kinds of species ($O_2$ and H2O) contribute to oxidation, so the growth rate is determined by oxidation temperature and by also partial pressure of the NH3 and $O_2$ gases. The slop of growth rate is identified to be medial and in parallel between that of the dry and wet oxidation. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) indicates that $NH_3/O_2$ oxide film has a certain stoichiomerty of $SiO_2$, this oxidation method restrains the generation of defects in the $SiO_2/Si$ interface, minimizing fixed charges. The breakdown voltage of $NH_3/O_2$ oxide film (470$\AA$) is 57.5 volts, and the profile of the C-V curve including flat band voltage (0.29 volts) agree with the ideal curve.

A multilayer tower-type photoreactor, in which $TiO_2$-coated glass-tubes were installed, was used to measure the vapor-phase BTEX removal efficiencies by ozone oxidation ($O_3$/UV), photocatalytic oxidation ($TiO_2$/UV) and the combination of ozone and photocatalytic oxidation ($O_3/TiO_2$/UV) process, respectively. The experiments were conducted under various relative humidities, temperatures, ozone concentrations, gas flow rates and BTEX concentrations. As a result, the BTEX removal efficiency and the oxidation rate by $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system were highest, compared to $O_3$/UV and $TiO_2$/UV system. The $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system accelerated the low oxidation rate of low-concentration organic compounds and removed organic compounds to a large extent in a fixed volume of reactor in a short time. Therefore, $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system as a superimposed oxidation technology was developed to efficiently and economically treat refractory VOCs. Also, this study demonstrated feasibility of a technology to scale up a photoreactor from lab-scale to pilot-scale, which uses (i) a separated light-source chamber and a light distribution system, (ii) catalyst fixing to glass-tube media, and (iii) unit connection in series and/or parallel. The experimental results from $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system showed that (i) the highest BTEX removal efficiencies were obtained under relative humidity ranging from 50 to 55% and temperature ranging from 40 to $50^{\circ}C$, and (ii) the removal efficiencies linearly increased with ozone dosage and decreased with gas flow rate. When applying Langmuir-Hinshelwood model to $TiO_2$/UV and $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system, reaction rate constant for $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system was larger than that for $TiO_2$/UV system, however, it was found that adsorption constant for $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system was smaller than that for $TiO_2$/UV system due to competitive adsorption between organics and ozone.

This work reviews the effects of catalyst formulation and exhaust gas composition on soot oxidation in CDPF (Catalytic Diesel Particulate Filter). DOC's (Diesel Oxidation Catalysts) have been loaded with Pt catalyst (Pt/$Al_{2}O_3$) for reduction of HC and CO. Recent CDPF's are coated with the Pt catalyst as well as additives like Mo, V, Ce, Co, Fe, La, Au, or Zr for the promotion of soot oxidation. Alkali (K, Na, Cs, Li) doping of metal catalyst tends to increase the activity of the catalysts in soot combustion. Effects of coexistence components are very important in the catalytic reaction of the soot. The soot oxidation rate of a few catalysts are improved by water vapor and NOx in the ambient. There are only a few reports available on the mechanism of the PM (particulate matter) oxidation on the catalysts. The mechanism of PM oxidation in the catalytic systems that meet new emission regulations of diesel engines has yet to be investigated. Future research will focus on catalysts that can not only oxidize PM at low temperature, but also reduce NOx, continuously self-cleaning diesel particulate filters, and selective catalysts for NOx reduction.

Brazing of Fe-Cr-Al alloy was carried out at $1200^{\circ}C$ in vacuum furnace using nickel-based filler metals : BNi-5 powder(Ni-Cr-Si-Fe base alloy} and MBF-50 foil (Ni-Cr-Si-B). The effect of boron content on the stability of oxide scale on the brazed joint was investigated by means of cyclic oxidation test performed at $1050^{\circ}C$ and $1200^{\circ}C$. Apparently, the joints brazed with MBF-50 containing boron showed relatively stable oxidation rates compared to boron-free BNi-5 at both temperatures. However, it was considered that the slower weight loss of MBF-50 brazed specimen wasn’t resulted from the low oxidation rate but from the spallation of oxide layer. The oxide layer consisted of thick spinel oxide on the surface and $Al_2 O_3$ internal oxide layer along the interface between mother alloy and braze, the mother alloy was also eroded seriously by the formation of spinel oxides such as $FeCr_2 O_4$ and $NiCr_2 O_4$ on the surface, likely to be induced by the change of oxide forming mechanism due to diffusion of boron from the braze. On the contrary, the joint brazed with BNi-5 showed the good oxidation resistance during the cyclic oxidation test. It seems that the oxidation can be retarded by the formation of stable $Al_2 O_3$ layer at the surface.

The oxidation behaviour of Fe-XAl-0.1Y(X= 5, 10, 14 wt.%) alloys were investigated at 1073, 1173 and 1273 K in oxygen/ nitrogen gas atmosphere for 1∼24 hrs using SEM/EDX, XRD and EPMA. The weight changes of Fe-XAl-0.1Y alloys followed the parabolic rate law. Oxidation rates of 10Al and 14Al alloys were ten times lower than that of 5Al alloys. This is attributed to the formations of protective $A1_2$$O_3$oxides on the surface of 10Al and 14Al alloys. The oxidation product scales of the 5Al alloy showed that thick iron oxide scales($Fe_2$$O_3$, $Fe_3$$O_4$) containing porosities formed during early stages of oxidation. With continued oxidation, aluminum oxide was formed at the alloy/scale interface.

In this paper, the effects of the ozone oxidation of the landing polycrystalline silicon on the cell contact resistance of the DRAM device were studied. For this study, the ozone oxidation of the landing polycrystalline silicon layer was performed under various conditions, which was followed by the normal DRAM processes. Then, the cell contact resistance and $t_{WR}$ (write recovery time) of the devices were measured and analyzed. The experimental results showed that the cell contact resistance was more significantly increased for higher temperature of oxidation, longer time of oxidation, and higher concentration of ozone in the oxidation furnace. In addition, the TEM cross-sectional micrographs clearly showed that the oxide layer at the interface between the landing polycrystalline silicon layer and the plug polycrystalline silicon layer was increased by the ozone oxidation. Furthermore, the rate of the device failure due to too large write recovery time was also found to be well correlated with the increase of the cell contact resistance.

The rate of decomposition of calcium thioglycollate in aqueous solution was shown to increase with increasing temperature and with diluting concentration of calcium thioglycollate. The effect of additive on oxidation rate of calcium thioglycollate was studied to prepare the more stable depilatory formula using additives, such as thiourea, mannitol, sodium thiocyanide, nicotinamide, triethanolamine and ethylenediamine. In all cases, the rate of oxidation was reduced when the additive was present in the solution, among them triethanolamine and ethylenediamine inhibited the decomposition rate remarkably. It is assumed that the decomposition reaction in aqueous solution is pseudo-first order reaction.

The removal of ferrous iron (Fe(II)) in groundwater is generally achieved by simple aeration or the addition of oxidizing agent. Aeration followed by solid-liquid separation is the most commonly used as physico-chemical treatment method for iron removal. In general aeration has been shown to be very efficient in insolubilizing ferrous iron at the pH level greater than 6.5. In this study pH was maintained over 6.5 using limestone granules under constant aeration to oxidize ferrous iron. In batch experiments, oxidation rate of ferrous iron was investigated under different conditions including limestone granule size. initial concentration of the ferrous iron, pH, temperature and ionic strength in groundwater. The pH in groundwater was presumed as the most important factor determining oxidation rate of ferrous iron. According as the size of the limestone granules decreased, the pH of the iron contaminated water increased quickly and oxidation of the ferrous iron was achieved immediately too. The oxidation rate of the ferrous iron was found to be proportion to initial concentration of the iron contaminated water, temperature and ionic strength, respectively.
