Cr(III) ions were adsorbed onto polyacrylamide-grafted rubberwood fibre, and effects of aqueous conditions were evaluated. The adsorbent was prepared via graft copolymerization of acrylamide (Am) onto rubberwood fibre (RWF), using ceric ammonium nitrate as an initiator. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to confirm the formation of PAm-g-RWF. Various variables affecting the adsorp...

For the granulation of nitrate-sulfate-carbonate melt, prilling method is applied using a tower. The composition and properties new types fertilizers were studied. It shown that with ratio NH 4 NO 3 : СаСО (NH ) 2 SO = 100: 24: 1 product contains 28,03% - N, 0,50% , 10% СаО has granule strength 6.03 MPa, which much higher than pure granules (1.32 MPa). absorption AN 4.82 g. With an increase in ...

Fibrous properties of rayon has been modified through synthesis of graft copolymers of rayon with acrylonitrile (AN) by chemical method using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN/HNO3) as a redox initiator and gamma radiation mutual method. Percentage of grafting (Pg) was determined as a function of initiator concentration, monomer concentration, irradiation dose, temperature, time of reaction and the a...

CeO2 nanoparticles have been proven to be competent photocatalysts for environmental applications because of their strong redox ability, nontoxicity, long-term stability, and low cost. We have synthesized CeO2 nanoparticles via solution combustion method using ceric ammonium nitrate as an oxidizer and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as fuel at 450 °C. These nanoparticles exhibit good pho...

Proof of concept was obtained that Fe(0) can stoichiometrically reduce nitrate to ammonium and that cathodic hydrogen [produced during anaerobic Fe(0) corrosion by water] can sustain microbial denitrification to reduce nitrate to more innocuous products (i.e., N2O and N2). Autotrophic, denitrifying growth on Fe(0) was proven through the use of a dual-flask apparatus. Cathodic H2 from a flask co...

nickel (ni) is one of the essential micronutrients for higher plants and its known function is beingthe metal component of urease. the effects of various ni levels on urease activity in maize (zea maize l.)plants grown in two nutrient media containing urea or ammonium nitrate as two separate nitrogen sourceswere investigated. the experiments were performed as completely randomized blocks with t...

simple, cheap and green protocol for effective conversion of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds in the presence of h14[nap5w30o110] and ammonium nitrate is reported. the products were characterized by ft-ir and comparison of their physical properties with those reported in the literatures. the progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography (tlc) technique. the ali...

abstract nitrogen is a key nutrient in plant growth and it is necessary for amino acid synthesis. sulfur has very important role in the biosynthesis of the alliums flavor and pungency precursors and potassium improve crop yield and quality. in order to study the effect of ammonium nitrate and potassium sulfate on concentration some of the mineral elements in onion (allium cepa l. azar shahr cv....

In static renewal experiments, we studied how developmental stage influences the effect of ammonium nitrate on embryonic and larval stages of anuran amphibians. The observed lethal effects caused by ammonium nitrate increased with both concentration and duration of exposure. Significant differences were observed in sensitivity to ammonium nitrate as a function of developmental stage in Discoglo...

A new rapid flow injection procedure for the simultaneous determination of nitrate, nitrite and ammonium in single flow injection analysis system is proposed. The procedure combines on-line reduction of nitrate to nitrite and oxidation of ammonium to nitrite with spectrophotometric detection of nitrite by using the Griess-Ilosvay reaction. The formed azo dye was measured at 543 nm. The influenc...
