  2. Peroxymonosulfuric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxymonosulfuric_acid

    Peroxymonosulfuric acid, also known as persulfuric acid, peroxysulfuric acid is the inorganic compound with the formula H 2 SO 5. It is a white solid. It is a component of Caro's acid, which is a solution of peroxymonosulfuric acid in sulfuric acid containing small amounts of water. [4] Peroxymonosulfuric acid is a very strong oxidant (E 0 = +2 ...

  3. Nitrogen cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_cycle

    The nitrogen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which nitrogen is converted into multiple chemical forms as it circulates among atmospheric, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems. The conversion of nitrogen can be carried out through both biological and physical processes.

  4. Birkeland–Eyde process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkeland–Eyde_process

    The Birkeland–Eyde process was one of the competing industrial processes in the beginning of nitrogen-based fertilizer production. It is a multi-step nitrogen fixation reaction that uses electrical arcs to react atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) with oxygen (O 2), ultimately producing nitric acid (HNO 3) with water. [1]

  5. Nitrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrification

    Nitrogen cycle. Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia to nitrate via the intermediary nitrite. Nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle in soil. The process of complete nitrification may occur through separate organisms [1] or entirely within one organism, as in comammox bacteria. The transformation of ammonia to ...

  6. Denitrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denitrification

    The lighter isotope of nitrogen, 14 N, is preferred during denitrification, leaving the heavier nitrogen isotope, 15 N, in the residual matter. This selectivity leads to the enrichment of 14 N in the biomass compared to 15 N. [ 27 ] Moreover, the relative abundance of 14 N can be analyzed to distinguish denitrification apart from other ...

  7. Beckmann rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckmann_rearrangement

    In the third step, an isomerization step protonates the nitrogen atom leading to the amide. The Beckmann rearrangement mechanism The same computation with a hydroxonium ion and 6 molecules of water has the same result, but when the migrating substituent is a phenyl group, the mechanism favors the formation of an intermediate three-membered π ...
