U-M Chemists Develop Method to Break Down Stubborn Pollutant
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The molecular culprit behind harmful algal blooms and some contamination in groundwater is the same thing that’s kept civilization fed for millennia: a stable form of nitrogen called nitrate. Nitrates are necessary components of fertilizer, but because they are so stable, the molecules are difficult to reduce and remove from the […]
Chemists Harness Hydrogen Bonds to Break Down Persistent Nitrate Pollution
Nitrate is one of those molecules that quietly underpins modern civilization while simultaneously threatening it. As the dominant nitrogen ingredient in synthetic fertilizer, it has helped feed billions of people for more than a century. Yet its very chemical stability—the property that makes it such an effective and shelf-stable nutrient—also makes it extraordinarily stubborn once […]
Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a method capable of reducing nitrate, a compound used massively in agriculture as a fertilizer and considered one of the most responsible for eutrophication of water bodies, to substances that could be reused as fertilizers or recycled , which opens the door to [...] The entry Develop a method to break down nitrates for recycling or reuse and prevent their impact on the environment was fir…
