False Oxygen Consumption Effect and Factors Causing It
Figure 2
Typical registration curve of false oxygen consumption. (a) the time of additive introduction and (b) the minimal value of oxygen partial pressure (). Recorded by ADC L-154 (L-Card, Russia), application PowerGraph (D. Izmailov, Russia). Curve demonstrates a distinct change in the partial pressure of oxygen in the medium in which the proper content of oxygen was not changed. However, the result of such measurement seems to be oxygen consumption and can be interpreted as a consumption of oxygen by the investigated objects under the influence of additives (“false consumption”).
