by saying that oxidizers "undergo reduction" and "are reduced" while reducers "undergo oxidation" and "are oxidized". Common oxidizing agents are oxygen

Oxidization may refer to: Oxidation, a chemical reaction in which electrons are lost Beta oxidation, the process by which fatty acids are broken down

combustion, they are chemically oxidized to form CO2 and H2O. Three main factors in designing the effective thermal oxidizers are temperature, residence time

oxidants, or oxidizers. The oxidant removes electrons from another substance, and is thus itself reduced. Because it "accepts" electrons, the oxidizing agent

An oxidizing acid is a Brønsted acid that is a strong oxidizing agent. Most Brønsted acids can act as oxidizing agents, because[dubious – discuss] the

and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria. S. Winogradsky succeeded just one year later in 1891. In fact, during the serial dilutions ammonia-oxidizers and nitrite-oxidizers

maltitol, or mannitol. The oxidizer most often used in the preparation of sugar motors is potassium nitrate (KNO3). Other oxidizers can be used as well, like

shaped and facultative. Biological oxidizers provide a stable environment which allows bacteria to naturally oxidize and stabilize a large number of organics

(that is, they are by themselves reduced) and oxidizers lack electrons (that is, they are by themselves oxidized). This is commonly expressed in terms of their
