BACKGROUND AND AIMS There is increased evidence that partial nitrate (NO3-) nutrition (PNN) improves growth of rice (Oryza sativa), although the crop prefers ammonium (NH4+) to NO3- nutrition. It is not known whether the response to NO3- supply is related to nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) in rice cultivars. Methods Solution culture experiments were carried out to study the response of two ri...

aqueous two-phase systems (atps) have  emerged as a powerful extraction method for the downstream processing of bio-molecules. the aim of this work was to investigate the possibility of utilizing atps for the separation of recombinant bacillus sphaericus phenylalanine dehydrogenase (phedh). polyethylene glycol (peg) and ammonium sulfate systems were selected for our experiment. the effect of di...

One of the main challenges for one phase anaerobic digestion processes is the high concentration of NH4 and PO4 ions in the digested sludge supernatant. This project focuses on enhancing the removal of nutrients during the anaerobic digestion process through fixing both NH4 and PO4 ions in the form of struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate, MAP, MgNH4PO4.6H2O) within the anaerobic sludge. Batch...

General Comments: The manuscript presents an extensive analysis of 13C, NO3 and NH4 -uptake versus irradiance experiments for the Arctic subsurface chlorophyll maxima (SCM). NO3 and NH4 – uptake versus irradiance experiments are rarely conducted alongside traditional “P vs E” curves, so the paper includes some novel information on the rates of NO3 and NH4 uptake compared to carbon fixation for ...

Removal efficiency of COD, NH4-N and PO4-P and NO3-N in five step SBR processes is widely influenced by hydraulic retention time of Anaerobic/Anoxic/Aerobic/Anoxic/Aerobic step of this system where the hydraulic retention time in each step is influence directly on removal efficiency of this system therefore the operator of this system cannot control on this system without experience or a contro...

The article studies the process of obtaining carbonate-ammonium nitrate (CAN) based on mixing melt ammonium (NH4NO3) with chalk (СаСО3) and sulfate (NH4)2SO4). For granulation nitrate-sulfate-carbonate prilling method is applied using a tower. Determined composition properties new types fertilizers. It shown that ratio NH4NO3 : СаСО3 (NH4)2SO4 = 100 24 1 product contains 28,03% N, SO3 – 0,50%, ...

Background: Mature landfill leachate is a complicated mixture which is resistant to biological treatment processes. The treatment of mature landfill leachate by struvite precipitation and Fenton oxidation was the main objective of the current research. Methods: Struvite with the phosphate/ammonia/magnesium molar ratio of 1/1/1.05 was considered during all experiments. Five initial pHs of 3, 4,...

Particulate ammonium (NH4+) is one of the most important inorganic components in aerosol. The concentrations NH4+ PM2.5 significantly increased when levels elevated. Increased understanding atmospheric processes and sources ambient ammonia an effective way to control tackle air pollution problems. This study focused on concentration nitrogen stable isotopic composition particulate a southwest t...
