The removal of gaseous ammonia in a system consisting of a biotrickling filter, a denitrification reactor and a polishing bioreactor for the trickling liquid was investigated. The system allowed sustained treatment of ammonia while preventing biological inhibition by accumulating nitrate and nitrite and avoiding generation of contaminated water. All bioreactors were packed with cattle bone comp...

New waste management methods are needed that can protect the environment and allow manure management to switch back to a recycling view of manure handling. We investigated the use of gas-permeable membranes as components of new processes to capture and recover the ammonia in the liquid manures or in the air of poultry houses and other livestock installations. The basic process includes the pass...

The analytical potential of the reaction of ammonia with o-phthalaldehyde mercaptoethanol reagent at pH 7 (an atypical fluorescence) has already been demonstrated. This, coupled with additional findings reported here, has led to an ammonia determination well suited to nitrogenase studies. As a result, large numbers of samples can be rapidly analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatrography metho...

Liquid ammonia, trialkyl phosphites, and especially trialkylphosphines, are very powerful electron-pair donor solvents with soft bonding character. The solvent molecules act as strongly coordinating ligands towards mercury(ii), interacting strongly enough to displace halide ligands. In liquid ammonia mercury(ii) chloride solutions separate into two liquid phases; the upper contains tetraamminem...

With ammonia it forms a monoammine and a pentammine. Methyl gallium dichloride monoammine does not melt up to 800. Its vapor pressure is below 0.01 mm. at 250. The pentammine is insoluble in liquid ammonia and has a dissociation pressure of about 25 mm. at room temperature. The ammonia is readily pumped off at 800. 1 DUPONT FELLOW in Chemistry. 2 These PROCEEDINGS, 19, 292-298 (1933). Moser and...

The title compound, [Pt(NH3)4]Cl2·4NH3, was crystallized in liquid ammonia from the salt PtCl2. The platinum cation is coordinated by four ammonia mol-ecules, forming a square-planar complex. The chloride anions are surrounded by nine ammonia mol-ecules, either bound within the platinum complex or solvent mol-ecules. The solvent ammonia mol-ecules are packed in such a way that an extended netwo...

The title compound, [Pd(NH3)4]Cl2·4NH3, was crystallized in liquid ammonia from the salt Pd(en)Cl2 (en is ethylenediamine) and is isotypic with [Pt(NH3)4]Cl2·4NH3 [Grassl & Korber (2014 ▶). Acta Cryst. E70, i31]. The Pd(2+) cation is coordinated by four ammonia mol-ecules, exhibiting a square-planar geometry. The chloride anions are surrounded by nine ammonia mol-ecules. These are either bound ...
