oksikoksi

Oksikoksi is a term found primarily in Indonesian-language scientific literature, used to refer to processes that involve oxidation and reduction, or redox-type transformations, that occur in a coupled or intertwined manner. The exact scope of the term varies between sources, and it is not a standard term in English-language chemistry.

In environmental and materials chemistry, oksikoksi is often used to describe redox cycling or pairwise oxidation–reduction steps that drive chemical transformations, such as the oxidation of contaminants coupled to the reduction of another species. It can also appear in discussions of catalysis, corrosion, or mineral dynamics where oxidation and reduction events occur in close succession or influence one another.

The term is not widely adopted in international nomenclature and may be interpreted differently depending on the context. Because of its variable usage, readers should consult the definition provided in a given source when encountering oksikoksi, rather than assuming a single, universal meaning.
