[A] fuel reforming reaction where the fuel is partially oxidized to carbon monoxide and hydrogen rather than fully oxidized to carbon dioxide and water. 4, record 1, English, - partial%20oxidation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
In chemistry, a partial oxidation (POX) reaction occurs when a substoichiometric fuel-air mixture is partially combusted in a reformer, creating a hydrogen-rich syngas, which can then be put to further use, for example in a fuel cell. A distinction is made between thermal partial oxidation (TPOX) and catalytic partial oxidation (CPOX). 3, record 1, English, - partial%20oxidation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Partial oxidation is a technically mature process in which natural gas or a heavy hydrocarbon (heating oil) is mixed in an exothermic process with oxygen. 3, record 1, English, - partial%20oxidation

Réaction chimique qui survient lorsqu'un mélange stochiométrique de fioul et d'air est partiellement brûlé dans un reformeur, ce qui crée un syngas riche en hydrogène. 2, record 1, French, - oxydation%20partielle

L'oxydation partielle consiste en une réaction entre un carburant (gaz naturel, hydrocarbures légers, voire le charbon) avec l'oxygène, suivie ici encore d'une purification du gaz en raison du monoxyde de carbone CO. Elle peut être réalisée avec des hydrocarbures plus lourds que pour le vaporeformage; en revanche, comme pour le vaporeformage, le carburant doit aussi être purifié : il doit d'abord être débarrassé du soufre - ce qui peut être fait avant ou après la première réaction d'oxydation, puis du CO2 et du CO. Ce procédé est arrivé à maturité. 3, record 1, French, - oxydation%20partielle

A method of processing refractory sulfide ore. 3, record 2, English, - pressure%20oxidation
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
As the richer ores of gold (and other metals) are depleted, it is necessary for mining companies to focus on low-grade refractory gold-bearing ores in which the gold is encapsulated in the crystal structure of a sulphide matrix (typically pyrite). These ores cannot be broken down by cyanidation without an oxidative pre-treatment such as nitric acid oxidation, roasting, pressure oxidation or biological oxidation using microorganisms. 4, record 2, English, - pressure%20oxidation

Traitement en autoclave. La majeure partie du minerai de la propriété Goldstrike est «réfractaire» et contient de l'or enfermé dans des minéraux sulfurés. La présence de sulfure diminue l'efficacité de la lixiviation au cyanure et réduit considérablement la récupération d'or à partir de ces minerais. Pour améliorer la récupération, le minerai réfractaire est soumis à un traitement supplémentaire entre les circuits de broyage et de lixiviation, soit l'oxydation sous pression («traitement en autoclave»), afin d'oxyder les minéraux sulfurés. Cette méthode améliore le taux de récupération d'or, qui passe d'environ 30 % avant l'oxydation à plus de 90 % après celle-ci. 1, record 2, French, - oxydation%20sous%20pression
