The bill, which would prohibit the sale of highly concentrated sodium nitrite, now heads to the Senate. If passed, the bill would make Washington the fourth state in the nation to ban the chemical.

This is performed by adding sodium hydroxide to the starting component ... In order to create the target compound – being ammonium nitrate – nitric acid (HNO 3) had to be created first.

Ammonia (NH 3) is traditionally produced through the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process which converts nitrogen (N 2) and hydrogen (H 2) into NH 3 at high temperatures (400–500℃) and ...

It has also been reported that soil loses nitrogen in the form of nitrogen gas much less when manured with sodium or potassium nitrate than when treated with ammonium sulphate, urea or other ...

In this study, the research team chemically modified polysilazane with boron (B) -- a naturally abundant and less toxic Lewis acid -- and sodium (Na). The modified material was then exposed to ...
