usually proceed via the intermediate formation (more or less small
amounts) of nitrogen dioxide. For a recent example, see: I. Jovel, S.

[22]When organocobalt complexes are used as radical precursors in
reactions with NO, a resting state is given, since the carbon-centered
radicals can (in a reverse reaction) add to the cobalt complexes to
regenerate the starting material.

[24]A close investigation of the BioDeNOx process revealed that
approximately 75% of the amount iron(II)-EDTA is oxidized while
only 25% serves for NO capture. This ratio was calculated from the
amounts of ethanol required for the reduction of the iron(III)-
complexes and NO in the bioreactor. For related the related studies,
see: R. Kumaraswany, U. van Dongen, J. G. Kuenen, W. Abma, M.

towards oxidation by the addition of fluoride ions, see: J. Maigut, R.

[27] We currently assign the failure of the experiments with acrylic acid
to the increased polarity of this particular alkene, which might
complicate trapping of the alkyl radical intermediate with NO as well
as extraction of the products from the aqueous phase.

[10]Drawbacks are the sensitivity of the iron(II)-EDTA complexes
towards oxygen, long reaction times for the enzymatic regeneration
of the complexes, cost-intensive enzymes as well as the relatively 130
short lifetimes of the enzymes: P. van der Maas, P. van den Brink, B.
Klapwijk and P. Lens, Chemosphere, 2009, 75, 243-249.
