Definition von redox im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
a reversible chemical reaction in which one reaction is an oxidation and the reverse is a reduction
Shortened term for reduction/ oxidation reactions Redox reactions are a series of reactions of substances in which electron transfer takes place The substance that gains electrons is called oxidising agent Reduction A chemical reaction in which ions gain electrons to reduce their positive valence
The undesirable chemical process by which metallic silver which makes up photographic images is transformed into spots of reddish-brown residue on the images
refers to reactions where there is a change in the oxidation state of the reactants and products, e g , Fe2+ => Fe3+, involves oxidation of the iron cation
a type of chemical reaction in which one of the reagents is reduced, while another is oxidised
Reduction-oxidation potential It is a measure of the ability of water to allow biological reactions to take place and is used as an indication of water quality Redox can be measured with special electronic probes, and higher readings are better
Redox, or reduction-oxidation potential, is a measure of how easy it is for organic reactions to take place This is an indicator of water quality, measured in millivolts with a special probe Higher values are better Redox controllers use an ozone reactor to raise the redox potential
A word derived from a combination of the words Reduction and Oxidation The REDOX measurement, in millivolts, is a measure of the potential of the water for oxidation or reduction processes The higher the reading, the higher the availability of oxidising agents in the water Optimum levels of oxidising and reduction agents occur at around 300 mV And this is regarded to be the approximate REDOX level of very good quality water (e g for salmonids) REDOX level in excess of 500mV may prove toxic to life over prolonged periods, and REDOX levels of over 600mV are often maintained in systems where oxidising agents (such as ozone) are used to disinfect water Low REDOX levels are a sign of poor water quality as the amount of oxidising compounds in the water is low, which limits the breakdown of organic matter
