TL;DR: In this paper, a kinetic model of the reacting aqueous chlorine-ammonia system is proposed which describes equally well the rapid "breakpoint" oxidation of ammonia, where the applied chlorine dose (CI 2 ) to ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio (Cl/N) is greater than approximately 1.6.
Abstract: A kinetic model of the reacting aqueous chlorine-ammonia system is proposed which describes equally well the rapid «breakpoint» oxidation of ammonia, where the applied chlorine dose (CI 2 ) to ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio (Cl/N) is greater than approximately 1.6; the slow oxidation of ammonia in aqueous chloramine solutions (Cl/N<1); and the transition region of 1

TL;DR: In this article, a selective and active nitrate reduction to ammonia on Fe single atom catalysts was reported, with a maximal ammonia Faradaic efficiency of 75% and a yield rate of up to 20,000μg/h−1 mgcat.−1 (0.46mol/m cm−2).
Abstract: Electrochemically converting nitrate, a widespread water pollutant, back to valuable ammonia is a green and delocalized route for ammonia synthesis, and can be an appealing and supplementary alternative to the Haber-Bosch process. However, as there are other nitrate reduction pathways present, selectively guiding the reaction pathway towards ammonia is currently challenged by the lack of efficient catalysts. Here we report a selective and active nitrate reduction to ammonia on Fe single atom catalyst, with a maximal ammonia Faradaic efficiency of ~ 75% and a yield rate of up to ~ 20,000 μg h−1 mgcat.−1 (0.46 mmol h−1 cm−2). Our Fe single atom catalyst can effectively prevent the N-N coupling step required for N2 due to the lack of neighboring metal sites, promoting ammonia product selectivity. Density functional theory calculations reveal the reaction mechanisms and the potential limiting steps for nitrate reduction on atomically dispersed Fe sites. Developing green and delocalized routes for ammonia synthesis is highly important but still very challenging. Here the authors report an efficient ammonia synthesis process via nitrate reduction to ammonia on Fe single atom catalyst.

TL;DR: The effect of ammonia concentration on the region of existence of single-phase water-in-oil microemulsions has been investigated for the system polyoxyethylene (5) nonylphenyl ether (NP-5)/cyclohexane/ammonium hydroxide and shows a complex dependence of the particle size on the water-to-surfactant molar ratio (R) and on the concentration of ammonium Hydroxide.
