Removing the toxic and odorous emissions of ammonia from the industrial production of fertilizer is a costly and energy-intensive process. Now, researchers in Bangladesh have turned to microbes and inexpensive wood charcoal to create a biofilter that can extract the noxious gas from vented gases and so reduce pollution levels from factories in the developing world.Writing in the International Journal of Environment and Pollution, Jahir Bin Alam, A. Hasan and A.H. Pathan of the Department of...

Nitrogen-altering bacteria thrive under charcoal depositionWhen fire burns down a forest, nitrate levels go up, and the effects are persistent, according to recent research from University of Montana scientists. They found that charcoal deposited during fire events has the potential to stimulate the conversion of ammonia to nitrates, an important step in the nitrogen cycle.Led by Patrick Ball, the research team found that a type of bacteria that transforms ammonia into nitrates was found in...
WORCESTER, Mass., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ThermoEnergy Corporation (Pink Sheets: TMEN) has announced that it has entered into a $27.1 million contract with the City of New York, to deploy a state-of-the-art ammonia recovery system at the City's 26th Ward Wastewater Treatment Plant situated on Jamaica Bay.

A team of scientists from the Instituto AstrofÃsica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of Texas has succeeded in identifying one of the most complex organic molecules yet found in the material between the stars, the so-called interstellar medium. The discovery of anthracene could help resolve a decades-old astrophysical mystery concerning the production of organic molecules in space. The researchers report their findings in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical...
A new process for storing and generating hydrogen to run fuel cells in cars has been invented by chemical engineers at Purdue University.The process, given the name hydrothermolysis, uses a powdered chemical called ammonia borane, which has one of the highest hydrogen contents of all solid materials, said Arvind Varma, R. Games Slayter Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering and head of the School of Chemical Engineering."This is the first process to provide exceptionally high...

In chemistry, salt is a general term used for ionic compounds composed of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions, so that the product is neutral and without a net charge. These ions can be inorganic (Cl-) as well as organic (CH3-COO-) and monoatomic (F-) as well as polyatomic ions (SO42-). Solutions of salts in water are called electrolytes. Electrolytes as well as molten salts conduct electricity. Zwitterions are salts that contain an anionic center and a cationic...
