TL;DR: The spectroscopic and quantum-mechanical study of these oxygen intermediates has defined geometric- and electronic-structure/function correlations, and developed detailed reaction coordinates for the reversible binding of O(2), hydroxylation, and H-atom abstraction from different substrates, and the reductive cleavage of the O-O bond in the formation water.
Abstract: Copper active sites play a major role in biological and abiological dioxygen activation. Oxygen intermediates have been studied in detail for the proteins and enzymes involved in reversible O(2) binding (hemocyanin), activation (tyrosinase), and four-electron reduction to water (multicopper oxidases). These oxygen intermediates exhibit unique spectroscopic features indicative of new geometric and electronic structures involved in oxygen activation. The spectroscopic and quantum-mechanical study of these intermediates has defined geometric- and electronic-structure/function correlations, and developed detailed reaction coordinates for the reversible binding of O(2), hydroxylation, and H-atom abstraction from different substrates, and the reductive cleavage of the O-O bond in the formation water.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of low-energy electron bombardment on a chemisorbed layer of oxygen on polycrystalline molybdenum was measured and the results showed that oxygen is adsorbed in two states at room temperature.

TL;DR: The observation that As( III) is oxidized in parallel to the oxidation of Fe(II) by O2 and by H2O2 and that the As(III) oxidation is not inhibited by *OH-radical scavengers at neutral pH is significant for the understanding of arsenic redox reactions in the environment and in arsenic removal processes as well as for theUnderstanding of Fenton reactions in general.
Abstract: The oxidation kinetics of As(III) with natural and technical oxidants is still not well understood, despite its importance in understanding the behavior of arsenic in the environment and in arsenic removal procedures. We have studied the oxidation of 6.6 μM As(III) by dissolved oxygen and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of Fe(II,III) at pH 3.5−7.5, on a time scale of hours. As(III) was not measurably oxidized by O2, 20−100 μM H2O2, dissolved Fe(III), or iron(III) (hydr)oxides as single oxidants, respectively. In contrast, As(III) was partially or completely oxidized in parallel to the oxidation of 20−90 μM Fe(II) by oxygen and by 20 μM H2O2 in aerated solutions. Addition of 2-propanol as an •OH-radical scavenger quenched the As(III) oxidation at low pH but had little effect at neutral pH. High bicarbonate concentrations (100 mM) lead to increased oxidation of As(III). On the basis of these results, a reaction scheme is proposed in which H2O2 and Fe(II) form •OH radicals at low pH but a different oxidant...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a metal oxide as an oxygen source, and an inert as a binder for increasing the mechanical strength of the carrier, which is used to transfer oxygen from the air to the fuel, preventing direct contact between them.
Abstract: Chemical-looping combustion (CLC) has been suggested as an energetically efficient method for capture of carbon dioxide from the combustion of fuel gas. This technique involves the use of an oxygen carrier that transfers oxygen from the air to the fuel, preventing direct contact between them. The oxygen carrier is composed of a metal oxide as an oxygen source, and an inert as a binder for increasing the mechanical strength of the carrier. In this work, 240 samples composed of 40−80% of Cu, Fe, Mn, or Ni oxides on Al2O3, sepiolite, SiO2, TiO2, or ZrO2 were prepared by mechanical mixing as cylindrical extrudates. The samples were sintered at four temperatures between 950 and 1300 °C. The effects of the chemical nature and composition of the carrier and the sintering temperature were investigated by reactivity tests in a thermogravimetric analyzer using CH4 as fuel, and the mechanical strength of the solids. On the basis of these properties, the most promising carriers to be used in a CLC system were selecte...
