Process for Conversion of Lou'er Oxide of Nitrogen to Higher Oxide of Nitrogen

Intercontinental transport of nitrogen oxide pollution plumes

We describe the first satellite observation of intercontinental transport of nitrogen oxides emitted by power plants, verified by simulations with a particle tracer model. The analysis of such episodes shows that anthropogenic NOx plumes may influence the atmospheric chemistry thousands of kilometers away from its origin, as well as the ocean they traverse due to nitrogen fertilization. This ki...

Nitrogen Oxide Delivery Systems for Biological Media

Elevated levels of nitric oxide (NO) in vivo are associated with a variety of cellular modifications thought to be mutagenic or carcinogenic. These processes are likely mediated by reactive nitrogen species (RNS) such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and peroxynitrite formed from the respective reactions of NO with oxygen and superoxide anion. Controlled delivery of these RNS at levels expected to occ...

Light-mediated conversion of nitrogen dioxide to nitric oxide by carotenoids.

Plants are more susceptible to the toxic effects of nitrogen dioxide when exposure takes place in the dark. Beta-carotene and other common carotenoids react with nitrogen dioxide in the dark to yield intermediate nitrosating agents consistent with the formation of nitrate esters. Simultaneous exposure of carotenoids to NO2 and light significantly reduced formation of nitrosating intermediates a...

Numerical simulation of Ramin's combustion chamber to investigate the factors affecting the production of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide

The boiler is one of the most vulnerable parts of a power plant, which is responsible for producing steam for moving turbines.  In order to increase the thermal efficiency of the power plant, it is necessary to prevent heat loss in the boiler combustion chamber and simultaneously control the environmental pollutant parameters such as NOx and CO.  Failure to control environmental pollutants will...
