Oxidation definition

Oxidation means a reaction in which the atoms in an element lose electrons and the valence of the element is correspondingly increased.
Oxidation means the process of changing the chemical structure of water contaminants by either increasing the number of oxygen atoms or reducing the number of electrons of the contaminant or other chemical reaction, which allows the contaminant to be more readily removed from the water or made more soluble in the water. It is the “chemical cleaning” of pool water. Oxidation can be achieved by common disinfectants (e.g., chlorine, bromine), secondary disinfection/sanitation systems (e.g. ozone) and oxidizers (e.g. potassium monopersulfate).
Oxidation means the degradation of the quality of oil by chemical reactions involving oxygen;

Oxidation means a reaction in which the atoms in an element lose electrons and the valence of the element is correspondingly increased. An example of an oxidation reaction is the combustion of CH4 in air to form CO2 and water.
Oxidation means a process for changing soluble iron and manganese to an insoluble form by me- chanical aeration or the addition of oxidizing agents. This definition includes but is not limited to: chlorine or potassium permanganate additions or mechanical aeration.
Oxidation means the process of changing the chemical structure of water contaminants by either increasing the number of oxygen atoms or reducing the number of electrons of the contaminant or other chemical
Oxidation means the process of changing the chemical structure of water contaminants to allow the contaminant to be more readily removed from the water or made more soluble in the water.
Oxidation means an increase in the oxidation state of the iron in the heme of any or all of the subunits making up the hemoglobin tetramer from the ferrous (Fe+2) to the ferric form (Fe+3). Autooxidation is a slow oxidation that occurs spontaneously in the presence of oxygen. However, oxidation can be accelerated greatly by the presence of other
