Excimer laser fragmentation-fluorescence spectroscopy (ELFFS) is shown to be an effective detection strategy for ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate particles at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. Following photofragmentation of the ammonium salt particle, fluorescence of the NH fragment is observed at 336 nm. The fluorescence signal is shown to depend linearly on particle surface are...

KubeSovA, K., J. bAlIK, o. SedlAR and l. PeKlovA, 2014. effect of ammonium fertilization by CulTAN method on dry matter accumulation and dynamics of nitrogen uptake by maize. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 20: 563-570 The aim of this trial was to assess the influence of nitrogenous fertilization by CULTAN (Controlled Uptake Long Term Ammonium Nutrition) method on the dynamics of above-ground biomass dry...

Adsorption using activated carbon and ion-exchange is used to remove a range of organic compounds and ammonia respectively from treated wastewaters. Such treatment may follow secondary biological treatment to reduce BOD. Organic nitrogen (e.g. proteins) is degraded to ammonia and residual organic compounds may also be present following secondary treatment. Residual organic compounds may be thos...

The distribution of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) in nature has been addressed by only a few environmental studies, and our understanding of how anammox bacteria compete for substrates in natural environments is therefore limited. In this study, we measure the potential anammox rates in sediment from four locations in a subtropical tidal river system. Porewater profiles of NO(x)(-) (NO...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(8)H(12)N(+)·Cl(-), all H atoms bonded to the ammonium N atom are hydrogen bonded to the chloride ions, with N⋯Cl distances in the range 3.080 (2)-3.136 (2) Å, resulting in 16-membered macrocyclic rings involving four formula units of the title compound.

A nitrate uptake system is induced (along with nitrate reductase) when NH(4) (+)-grown Penicillium chrysogenum is incubated with inorganic nitrate in synthetic medium in the absence of NH(4) (+). Nitrate uptake and nitrate reduction are probably in steady state in fully induced mycelium, but the ratios of the two activities are not constant during the induction period. Substrate concentrations ...

AMT (ammonium transporter)/Rh (Rhesus) ammonium transporters/channels are identified in all domains of life and fulfil contrasting functions related either to ammonium acquisition or excretion. Based on functional and crystallographic high-resolution structural data, it was recently proposed that the bacterial AmtB (ammonium transporter B) is a gas channel for NH3 [Khademi, O'Connell, III, Remi...

Ammonium and sodium salts (ion pairs) of a multi-interactive tri(4-pyridyl)hexaazaphenalenyl anion (TPHAP(-)) showed completely different ion-conductive properties depending on the crystal structure. TPHAP columnar crystals showed a high conductivity of 10(-3) S cm(-1) while retaining their structures even under humid conditions, whereas TPHAP dimer crystals exhibited a conductivity of ∼10(-5) ...

Synthesis of (4',5'-diaza-9'-fluorene)-spiro-5-hydantoin: The paper presents a method for synthesis of (4',5'-diaza-9'-fluorene)-spiro-5-hydantoin. The newly obtained compound was synthesized by a treatment of 4,5-diazafluoren-9-one with sodium cyanide, ammonium carbonate, ethanol and ammonium hydroxide at high pressure and high temperature. The structure of (4',5'-diaza-9'-fluorene)-spiro-5-hy...

Spectrophotometric method for determination of cu(II) in the trace quantities was developed by using piperazine dithiocarbamate as ligand in ammonium chloride-ammonium hydroxide medium at pH -9.5. The procedure developed was applied for the estimation of cu(II) in microgram quantities in the water samples and the method developed was found to be simple and sensitive. Spectrophotometry is one of...
