Reduction of nitro-containing compounds to generate amines is a crucial step in the synthesis of many pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials. Current industrial methods typically rely on ...

Successful reduction of the chemical manufacturing industry’s environmental impact relies on finding a greener way to make the chemical building blocks for common and massively consumed compounds.

These nitrogen-loss processes, which are carried out by different types of microbes, include the reduction of nitrogen compounds like nitrate and nitrite, the oxidation of ammonium, and a process ...

Scientists have now shown that the amount of atmospheric nitrogen bound by blue-green algae is far too small to be used as an argument against the ecologically necessary reduction of nitrogen inputs.

Nitrogen gas (N2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an ...

Researchers have produced two surprising compounds of nitrogen and the rare earth metal yttrium under very high pressure. The new polynitrides contain ring- and spiral-shaped crystal structures of ...

Thousands of farmers were gathering in a village near the centre of the Netherlands on Wednesday to protest a government plan to curb nitrogen pollution, many travelling by tractor from all ...

Reduction of nitro compounds- In this method, nitro compounds are reduced to amines by passing hydrogen gas in the presence of divided nickel, palladium or platinum and also by reduction with ...

Urea, with the formula CO(NH2)2, is a chemical compound that is widely used in a range of sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture and various industries. Conventionally, this compound is ...

Catalytic hydrogenation represents an integral part of many critical industrial procedures. Standard processes comprise of the catalytic reduction of nitro groups to the equivalent amino compounds, ...
