  2. Oxygen evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_evolution

    Oxygen evolution is the chemical process of generating elemental diatomic oxygen (O 2) by a chemical reaction, usually from water, the most abundant oxide compound in the universe. Oxygen evolution on Earth is effected by biotic oxygenic photosynthesis, photodissociation, hydroelectrolysis, and thermal decomposition of various oxides and oxyacids.

  3. Photocatalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photocatalysis

    2 catalyst combined with an Au light absorber accelerated hydrogen sulfide-to-hydrogen reactions. The process is an alternative to the conventional Claus process that operates at 800–1,000 °C (1,470–1,830 °F). [29] A Fe catalyst combined with a Cu light absorber can produce hydrogen from ammonia (NH 3) at ambient temperature using visible ...

  4. Fractionation of carbon isotopes in oxygenic photosynthesis

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionation_of_carbon...

    Carbon on Earth naturally occurs in two stable isotopes, with 98.9% in the form of 12 C and 1.1% in 13 C. [1] [8] The ratio between these isotopes varies in biological organisms due to metabolic processes that selectively use one carbon isotope over the other, or "fractionate" carbon through kinetic or thermodynamic effects. [1]

  5. Photosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis (/ ˌ f oʊ t ə ˈ s ɪ n θ ə s ɪ s / FOH-tə-SINTH-ə-sis) [1] is a system of biological processes by which photosynthetic organisms, such as most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, convert light energy, typically from sunlight, into the chemical energy necessary to fuel their metabolism.

  6. Methanation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanation

    Methanation reaction over different carried metal catalysts including Ni, [4] Ru [5] and Rh [6] has been widely investigated for the production of CH 4 from syngas and other power to gas initiatives. [3] Nickel is the most widely used catalyst due to its high selectivity and low cost. [1]

  7. Hill reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_reaction

    Noncyclic photophosphorylation through light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane. Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is absorbed and converted to chemical energy. This chemical energy is eventually used in the conversion of carbon dioxide to sugar in plants.

  8. Singlet oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singlet_oxygen

    Abbreviations, step 1: H 2 O 2, hydrogen peroxide; Na 2 MoO 4 (catalyst), sodium molybdate. Step 2: Na 2 SO 3 (reducing agent), sodium sulfite. Because of differences in their electron shells, singlet and triplet oxygen differ in their chemical properties; singlet oxygen is highly reactive. [26] The lifetime of singlet oxygen depends on the ...

  9. Sabatier reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabatier_reaction

    Paul Sabatier (1854-1941) winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 and discoverer of the reaction in 1897. The Sabatier reaction or Sabatier process produces methane and water from a reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures (optimally 300–400 °C) and pressures (perhaps 3 MPa [1]) in the presence of a nickel catalyst.
