What is nitrification and vdenitrification?

Answer 1

its the breakdown of NO2 and NO3 into gaseous nitrogen N2. When this happens the N2 is released into the atmosphere because it is for the most part unusable by plants and organisms, unless it is submerged in water. When it gets into the atmosphere it acts as a catalyst in the break down of ozone. Now its not typically as wide spread or released in the amounts that CO2 is on a daily basis however since it isn't needed in huge quantities.

Answer 2

Nitrification is the biological oxidationof ammonia with oxygen, then into ammonium, then into nitrite followed by the oxidation of these nitrites into nitrates. Degradation of ammonia to nitrite is usually the rate limiting step of nitrification. Nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle in soil.

Answer 3

Nitration is a general chemical process for the introduction of a nitro group into a chemical compound. The dominant application of nitration is for the production of nitrobenzene, the precursor to methylene diphenyl diisocyanate. Nitrations are famously used for the production of explosives, for example the conversion of glycerin to nitroglycerin and the conversion oftoluene to trinitrotoluene. Millions of tons of nitroaromatics are produced annually

Answer 4

Nitrification is the oxidation of ammonia nitrogen to nitrate nitrogen. In wastewater treatment, when nitrification is achieved an increase in alkalinity and acidity results.

Answer 5

Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia with oxygen. Then it is oxidized into ammonium, and then into nitrite which is followed by the oxidation of these nitrites into nitrates.
