Sentences with phrase «balanced by the oxidation»

The study shows that the reduction of carbonate to diamond is balanced by the oxidation of iron sulphide to iron oxides.

(if 20 % of geologic burial of C (0.2 Gt / year) is organic C and if that is nearly balanced by oxidation of geologic organic C, that would be a C flux of 0.04 Gt / year, which is 0.08 % of 50 Gt / year, so the oxygen depletion, as a fraction of total atmospheric O2, would be 0.08 % * 0.011 % / year = 0.0000088 % / year — or 8.8 E-6 % / year; it would take a bit more than 10 million years to use up all atmospheric O2 by such a process.
