Perchlorate levels in samples of sodium nitrate fertilizer derived from Chilean caliche.
Paleogeochemical deposits in northern Chile are a rich source of naturally occurring sodium nitrate (Chile saltpeter). These ores are mined to isolate NaNO3 (16-0-0) for use as fertilizer. Coincidentally, these very same deposits are a natural source of perchlorate anion (ClO4-). At sufficiently high concentrations, perchlorate interferes with iodide uptake in the thyroid gland and has been use...
متن کاملUse of Dissolved Organic Carbon to Biostimulate Rapid Rhizodegradation of Perchlorate in Soil
Contamination of freshwater resources, fresh produce and some processed foods by perchlorate (ClO4 -) is a growing problem in the United States. The anion perchlorate is a naturally occurring as well as an anthropogenic chemical which occurs as salts of ammonium, sodium and potassium. The natural sources of perchlorate include Chilean caliche which is mined for use as a natural source of NaNO3 ...
متن کاملPredicting perchlorate uptake in greenhouse lettuce from perchlorate, nitrate, and chloride irrigation water concentrations.
Perchlorate (ClO) has been detected in edible leafy vegetables irrigated with Colorado River water. The primary concern has been the ClO concentration in lettuce ( L. var. L.). There has been a limited number of studies on ClO uptake, but the interactive effect of other anions on ClO uptake is not known in detail. We conducted a greenhouse ClO uptake experiment using two types of lettuce (icebe...

Commercial interest in perchlorates began in the late 1890s/early 1900s in Europe and the United States as a direct result of the pioneering efforts in rockets and their propulsion systems (Mendiratta et al. 1996). The production of ammonium perchlorate, the largest component of solid rocket propellants, far outpaced that of the other perchlorates listed in Table 4-1. Their commercial manufactu...
متن کاملCrystallization of Ammonium-Perchlorate from Solution of Electrolytically Produced Sodium-Perchlorate in a Pilot- Scale Plant
Large scale application of ammonium-perchlorate in the composite rocket fuels defines this compound as an important strategic material. The high content of oxygen in ammonium-perchlorate (54.5% w/w) and the fact that during the thermal decomposition does not yield solid residue, determines its application as an exceptional and irreplaceable oxidative compound in the composite rocket fuels. The ...
