INORGANIC N [6 records]

Record 1 2022-03-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
  • Soils (Agriculture)
CONT

While traditionally inorganic nitrogen(iN) has been viewed as the dominant N [nitrogen] source for plants, the importance of organic N(oN) is now widely recognized. Organic and inorganic N forms coexist in soil and represent different stages in the N transformation processes.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
  • Tillage Operations (Agriculture)
DEF

To deprive of or free from nitrogen or its compounds.

CONT

In the longer term, but still not very long, anaerobic microbes begin to denitrify the soil, removing inorganic N back to the atmosphere where it is lost to the plants.

OBS

It was shown that an enzyme or group of enzymes can completely denitrify NG [nitroglycerine], PGDN [propyleneglycol dinitrate], and TMETN [trimethylolethane trinitrate] ... This technique can be used for both contaminated soils and wastewaters.

French

DEF

Ramener à l'état d'azote moléculaire les atomes de cet élément contenus dans les nitrates et les sels ammoniacaux du sol ou des eaux, comme le font certaines bactéries dites dénitrifiantes.

CONT

Les charges de nutriments (azotés et phosphorés) devraient augmenter. [L'augmentation des charges de nutriments (azotés et phosphorés] pourraient être ralenties en utilisant plus efficacement les engrais et en recourant davantage aux zones humides pour piéger l'azote réactif ou dénitrifier les sols et éliminer d'autres nutriments.

Subject field(s)
  • Translation (General)
  • Industrial Crops
CONT

... potato production is usually low because of imbalanced use of inorganic fertilizers and low input of organic manure. Over-applying nitrogen(N) also resulted in low quality, which is characterized by vulnerability to rot, higher water content in tubers, and lower commercial value. Therefore, there is a need to improve potato yield and quality through balanced use of N, phosphate(P), and potash(K).

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
CONT

Azides are a group of both organic and inorganic compounds containing the N3</sub> functional group. In general, azides are reactive and toxic. In fact, inorganic azides are commonly used as preservatives in biological solutions because of the ability of the N3</sub> group to bind tightly to cytochromes and block electron transport and ATP synthesis. All of the heavy metal azides and most, if not all, of the light metal azides are explosive under the right conditions. They must be handled with the utmost care and protected from light, shock, and heat.
