  • Chapter 7.1 Nitrogen Dioxide
    Chapter 7.1 Nitrogen dioxide General description Many chemical species of nitrogen oxides (NOx) exist, but the air pollutant species of most interest from the point of view of human health is nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Nitrogen dioxide is soluble in water, reddish-brown in colour, and a strong oxidant. Nitrogen dioxide is an important atmospheric trace gas, not only because of its health effects but also because (a) it absorbs visible solar radiation and contributes to impaired atmospheric visibility; (b) as an absorber of visible radiation it could have a potential direct role in global climate change if its concentrations were to become high enough; (c) it is, along with nitric oxide (NO), a chief regulator of the oxidizing capacity of the free troposphere by controlling the build-up and fate of radical species, including hydroxyl radicals; and (d) it plays a critical role in determining ozone (O3) concentrations in the troposphere because the photolysis of nitrogen dioxide is the only key initiator of the photochemical formation of ozone, whether in polluted or unpolluted atmospheres (1, 2). Sources On a global scale, emissions of nitrogen oxides from natural sources far outweigh those generated by human activities. Natural sources include intrusion of stratospheric nitrogen oxides, bacterial and volcanic action, and lightning. Because natural emissions are distributed over the entire surface of the earth, however, the resulting background atmospheric concentrations are very small. The major source of anthropogenic emissions of nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere is the combustion of fossil fuels in stationary sources (heating, power generation) and in motor vehicles (internal combustion engines).

    Nitrogen oxide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 3 Nitrogen oxide From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nitrogen oxide can refer to a binary compound of oxygen and nitrogen, or a mixture of such compounds: Contents ■ Nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen(II) oxide ■ Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen(IV) oxide ■ 1 NOx ■ Nitrous oxide (N2O), nitrogen(I) oxide ■ 2 Derivatives ■ Nitrate radical (NO3), nitrogen(VI) oxide ■ 3 See also ■ Dinitrogen trioxide (N2O3), nitrogen(II,IV) oxide ■ 4 References ■ Dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4), nitrogen(IV) oxide ■ Dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5), nitrogen(V) oxide In atmospheric chemistry and air pollution and related fields, nitrogen oxides refers specifically to NOx [1][2] (NO and NO2). Only the first three of these compounds can be isolated at room temperature. N2O3, N2O4, and N2O5 all decompose rapidly at room temperature. Nitrate radical is very reactive. N2O is stable and rather unreactive at room temperature, while NO and NO2 are quite reactive but nevertheless quite stable when isolated.

They are produced during combustion, especially at high temperature. These two chemicals are important trace species in Earth's atmosphere. In the troposphere, during daylight, NO reacts with partly oxidized organic species (or the peroxy radical) to form NO2, which is then photolyzed by sunlight to reform NO: NO + CH3O2 → NO2 + CH3O NO2 + sunlight → NO + O The oxygen atom formed in the second reaction then goes on to form ozone; this series of reactions is the main source of tropospheric ozone.

Krzywoustego Str. 6, Poland, Received: 16 January, 2002 Accepted: 13 May, 2002 Abstract This paper studies nitrogen oxide reduction by means of ammonia in a flow reactor with a fixed bed of the Polish carbon sorbent AKP-5. The kinetic curves â(t), showing the dependence of the degree of reduction of nitrogen oxide on time have been determined for four inlet NO concentrations. On the basis of the degree of NO reduction determined for the steady state conditions, a simplified model of the kinetic equation has been developed and verified. The results obtained are very important for environmental protection.
