Ammonia is an important chemical for fertilizer industry. About 85% of ammonia production is used for nitrogen fertilizers [1]. Urea alone consumes 40% of the total ammonia production. Other fertilizers that are made from ammonia are ammonium nitrate‚ ammonium sulfate and ammonium phosphate. Non-fertilizer applications include the production of aminies‚ nitriles (e.g. acrylonitile) and organic nitrogen compounds. Saudi Arabia has ample reserves of natural gas. It is proposed to manufacture ammonia

n Class VI you learnt that food is essential for all living organisms. You also learnt that carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ fats‚ vitamins and minerals are components of food. These components of food are necessary for our body and are called nutrients nutrients. All living organisms require food. Plants can make their food themselves but animals including humans cannot. They get it from plants or animals that eat plants. Thus‚ humans and animals are directly or indirectly dependent on plants. I 1

environment. In normal aquaculture‚ excretions from the animals being raised can accumulate in the water‚ increasing toxicity. In an aquaponic system‚ water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponic system where the by-products are broken down by nitrogen-fixing bacteria into nitrates and nitrites‚ which are utilized by the plants as nutrients. The water is then recirculated back to the aquaculture system. As existing hydroponic and aquaculture farming techniques form the basis for all aquaponics

1. In naturally fertile soil‚ microbes ward off pathogens‚ provide a protective layer around plant roots‚ excrete preferred forms of nitrogen‚ and maintain oxygen and moisture levels through denitrification and fixation. (Hermary). 2. As a result of repetitive application of synthetic fertilizer‚ enhanced degradation occurs‚ allowing oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ moisture‚ and pH levels to reach far beyond the normal range‚ ultimately over-stressing and terminating large portions of microbial

The ‘atmosphere’ being controlled is that in direct contact with the surface of the fresh product‚ and includes attempts to control oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ and temperature. These ‘controlled atmospheres’ can be created either by: a) Adding pure gaseous carbon dioxide or nitrogen b) Low oxygen exhaust of hydrocarbon combustion or c) Using the natural effects of respiration (grain‚ mould or insects) to reduce oxygen or increase carbon dioxide

They convert an estimated 90% of the hydrocarbons‚ carbon monoxide‚ and nitrogen oxides produced into less harmful compounds. However‚ catalytic converters are less efficient when used with diesel engines‚ which run colder than gasoline engines. Catalytic converters work best at higher temperatures. Catalytic converters are

Kjeldahl method of nitrogen analysis is the worldwide standard for calculating the protein content in a variety of materials from human and animal food‚ fertilizer‚ waste water and fossil fuels. This method is an analytical method to quantitatively determine the nitrogen in certain organic compounds. A food is digested with strong acid so that it releases nitrogen which can be determined by a suitable titration technique. The amount of protein present is then calculated from the nitrogen concentration
