Role of Transition Metals in Nitrite Decomposition in Soil

Iron and copper increased the decomposition of nitrite significantly during the first two hours of reaction when 150 parts per million (ppm) of nitrite and nitrogen was added to an acidic soil. Manganese was found to have a slight effect. There was no additional effect of the added metals after two...

The higher concentration of metals was not effective in catalyzing the decomposition of the added nitrite in nitrogen. All the added nitrite nitrogen was not recovered and the deficit could be due to the formation of nitrogen gas. 1971-05-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/2952 https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3968&context=etd Copyright for this work is held by the author.

Role of Transition Metals in Nitrite Decomposition in Soil
description Iron and copper increased the decomposition of nitrite significantly during the first two hours of reaction when 150 parts per million (ppm) of nitrite and nitrogen was added to an acidic soil.

All the added nitrite nitrogen was not recovered and the deficit could be due to the formation of nitrogen gas.
