Sentence examples for aggressive oxidation from inspiring English sources

However, higher operating temperatures lead to more aggressive oxidation of the boiler components.

In the presence of higher levels of ROS, the right NO/O2- ratio or the right levels of O2, NO may lead to the generation of highly reactive RNS, such as N2O3 or ONOO-, at levels that are able to induce more aggressive oxidation, nitrosation/S-nitrosation and nitration of different biological macromolecules, eventually leading to either necrotic or apoptotic cell death.

Carboxyl groups showing hydrophilic properties were mainly introduced on the MWNT surface by oxidation with an extremely aggressive oxidizing agent such as mixed acid H2SO4/HNO3.

Prior studies of pyrite oxidation have shown that Fe(III) is a more aggressive oxidant of the pyrite surface than dissolved molecular oxygen [21, 22].

This suggests that the more aggressive chemical pre-oxidation does not favour biological treatment.

Because substrates of glyoxalases are aggressive aldehydes produced by oxidation of glucose during glycolysis (methylglyoxal) and peroxidation of fatty acids (glyoxal), it is assumed that the major function of glyoxalases is to detoxify aldehyde by-products of metabolism (Thornalley, 2003).

Surface modification by thermal oxidation of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) aluminium-containing high temperature alloys generally involves the formation of a dense and adherent alumina layer, which protects the underlying matrix against further degradation in aggressive environments at high temperatures.

Pre-oxidation treatment, a common method used to improve the oxidation resistance of alloys in aggressive atmosphere, was successfully designed based on thermodynamic considerations.

Because of their very dense microstructure and high chemical inertness, these coatings can also provide superior protection against oxidation and corrosive attacks in aggressive environments.

The results indicated that coating on the pyrite had good protective effect to resist the oxidation of pyrite in the aggressive condition of pH 2.

Turbine components are submitted to very aggressive environments and particularly to high temperature corrosion and/or oxidation.
