According to a study published in Water Research in April 2020, superoxide produces hydroxyl radicals in lake water. Hydroxyl radicals break down poorly biodegradable organic matter such as humic ...

How do radicals form in aqueous solutions when exposed to UV light? This question is important for health research and environmental protection. For example, with regard to the overfertilization of ...

The method of determining the hydroxyl number in polyols and oxo alcohols specified in DIN EN ISO 4629-2 derives its theory from the catalytic acetylation of the hydroxyl group. Once the intermediate ...

Scientists have found that lightning bolts and, surprisingly, subvisible discharges that cannot be seen by cameras or the naked eye produce extreme amounts of the hydroxyl radical and hydroperoxyl ...

A new study reveals that a specially engineered form of biochar can dramatically enhance the natural ability of soil microbes ...

Hydroxyl, an important but difficult-to-detect molecule, is made up of a hydrogen and oxygen atom each. It has now been found in the upper reaches of the Venusian atmosphere about 100 kilometers above ...

Metrohm provides a turnkey solution for routine analysis of polyols using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). This solution is based on a pre-calibration model and a dedicated spectral database and ...

The atmosphere's capacity for cleansing itself of air pollutants is more stable than previously thought, according to a new study An international, NOAA-led research team took a significant step ...
