OXYGEN SOLUBILITY IN NORMAL HUMAN BLOOD
1981
Publisher Summary This chapter describes oxygen solubility in normal human blood. The most crucial problem in measuring physically dissolved oxygen in blood is the prevention of oxygen binding by hemoglobin (Hb). The chapter discusses a study for the re-determination of oxygen solubility in untreated human blood. The oxygen concentration was measured by a photometric method and the Hb-concentration was determined by the cyanohemoglobin method. Oxygen solubility in normal and untreated blood is a linear function of the Hb-concentration. Hemoglobin in the reduced state has a greater influence on oxygen solubility than hemoglobin. Red cell membranes have no measureable effect on the oxygen sol…
Influence of Different Environments and Temperatures on the Photo-Oxidation Behaviour of the Polypropylene.
2022
The photo-oxidation of polypropylene at two different temperatures and in three different environments—air, distilled water and sea water—has been followed as a function of the irradiation time. The photo-oxidation kinetic is dramatically dependent on the amount of oxygen available for the oxidation reactions and on the temperature. While the photo-oxidation is very fast in air, the degradation is much slower in the two aqueous media. The degradation in sea water is slightly slower than in distilled water. In all cases, the degradation kinetic increases remarkably with the temperature. This behavior has been attributed to the lower oxygen availability for the oxidation reactions of the poly…
Wine Oxidation and the Role of Cork
2009
The present review aims to show the state of the art of oxidation mechanisms occurring especially in white wines by taking into account knowledge from different fields in relation to the subject. It is therefore divided into three main parts. First, the mechanisms of oxidation relevant to white wine are discussed in the light of recent scientific literature. Next, the phenomenon of oxygen solubility in wine during the winemaking process, and in particular during bottling is stated theoretically as well as practically. Finally, the aspect of wine conservation after bottling is examined with respect to mass transfers which may occur through the closure, with a special emphasis on cork. Curren…
