  2. Reduction of nitro compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_of_nitro_compounds

    Excess zinc will reduce the azo group to a hydrazino compound.) Aliphatic nitro compounds ... R-NO 2 + 4 NH 4 Cl + 2 Zn → R-NH-OH + 2 ZnCl 2 + 4 NH 3 + H 2 O.

  3. Béchamp reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Béchamp_reduction

    The reaction was first used by Antoine Béchamp to reduce nitronaphthalene and nitrobenzene to naphthylamine and aniline, respectively. [3] The Béchamp reduction is broadly applicable to aromatic nitro compounds. [4] [5] Aliphatic nitro compounds are however more difficult to reduce, often remaining as the hydroxylamine. Tertiary aliphatic ...

  4. Selective catalytic reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_catalytic_reduction

    Commercial selective catalytic reduction systems are typically found on large utility boilers, industrial boilers, and municipal solid waste boilers and have been shown to lower NO x emissions by 70-95%. [1] Applications include diesel engines, such as those found on large ships, diesel locomotives, gas turbines, and automobiles.

  5. Selective non-catalytic reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_non-catalytic...

    Selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) is a method to lessen nitrogen oxide emissions in conventional power plants that burn biomass, waste and coal.The process involves injecting either ammonia or urea into the firebox of the boiler at a location where the flue gas is between 1,400 and 2,000 °F (760 and 1,090 °C) to react with the nitrogen oxides formed in the combustion process.

  6. Nitro compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro_compound

    The structure of an organic nitro compound. In organic chemistry, nitro compounds are organic compounds that contain one or more nitro functional groups (−NO 2).The nitro group is one of the most common explosophores (functional group that makes a compound explosive) used globally.

  7. Wolff–Kishner reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff–Kishner_reduction

    The Wolff–Kishner reduction is a reaction used in organic chemistry to convert carbonyl functionalities into methylene groups. [1] [2] In the context of complex molecule synthesis, it is most frequently employed to remove a carbonyl group after it has served its synthetic purpose of activating an intermediate in a preceding step.

  8. Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissimilatory_nitrate...

    Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium is a two step process, reducing NO 3 − to NO 2 − then NO 2 − to NH 4 +, though the reaction may begin with NO 2 − directly. [1] Each step is mediated by a different enzyme, the first step of dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium is usually mediated by a periplasmic nitrate reductase.

  9. Nitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrite

    NO + NO 2 + 2 NaOH → 2 NaNO 2 + H 2 O NO + NO 2 + Na 2 CO 3 → 2 NaNO 2 + CO 2. The product is purified by recrystallization. Alkali metal nitrites are thermally stable up to and beyond their melting point (441 °C for KNO 2). Ammonium nitrite can be made from dinitrogen trioxide, N 2 O 3, which is formally the anhydride of nitrous acid:
