Nitrate: Occurrence, Characteristics and Health Considerations

ISBN: 9781622573882 出版年：2012 页码：227 Silvia Antonia Brandan Nova Science

The study of the nitrate salts is of great chemical, biochemical, industrial, environmental and human health importance because nitrates are one of the most common wide-spread contaminants in groundwater. This book presents important studies related to nitrates, and their occurrence, production, properties, and health considerations. Topics include a biological treatment using a salt-tolerant, perchlorate- and nitrate-reducing culture; nutritional and safety properties of vegetable foods; the distribution of nitrates and nitrites in plants cultivated following organic and conventional procedures; nitrate removal processes; the signal-role of nitrate in different plant species; the catalytic removal of nitrates; synthesis and characterization of volatile anhydrous metal nitrates as precursors; bimetallic/activated carbon supported samples, used for NOx reduction by carbon; bimetallic-activated carbon supported samples that were studied after NOx adsorption experiments; an efficient catalytic system for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones derivatives; and the structural and vibrational properties of the chromyl, niobyl and vanadyl nitrates.
