Article Abstract
An electronic tongue has been developed to monitor the presence of ammonium nitrate in water. It is based on pulse voltammetry and consists of an array of eight working electrodes (Au; Pt; Rh; Ir; Cu; Co; Ag and Ni) encapsulated in a stainless steel cylinder. In a first step the electrochemical response of the different electrodes was studied in the presence of ammonium nitrate in water in order to further design the wave form used in the voltammetric tongue. The response of the electronic tongue was then tested in the presence of a set of 15 common inorganic salts; i.e.; NH₄NO₃; MgSO₄; NH₄Cl; NaCl; Na₂CO₃; (NH₄)₂SO₄; MgCl₂; Na₃PO₄; K₂SO₄; K₂CO₃; CaCl₂; NaH₂PO₄; KCl; NaNO₃; K₂HPO₄. A PCA plot showed a fairly good discrimination between ammonium nitrate and the remaining salts studied. In addition Fuzzy Art map analyses determined that the best classification was obtained using the Pt; Co; Cu and Ni electrodes. Moreover; PLS regression allowed the creation of a model to correlate the voltammetric response of the electrodes with concentrations of ammonium nitrate in the presence of potential interferents such as ammonium chloride and sodium nitrate.

Karst water bodies are vital groundwater resources particularly vulnerable to pollution. Protecting their water quality requires documenting contaminants traditionally associated with anthropogenic activities (metals, nutrients, and fecal indicator bacteria) as well as emerging contaminants, such as antibiotic-resistant organisms (AROs) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This study detected contaminants in karst-associated water bodies on the Yucatán Peninsula, including 10 sinkholes (cenotes) and one submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) site.

In this study, a novel magnetically recyclable catalyst was developed by immobilizing ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) onto linoleic acid-functionalized magnetite nanoparticles (FeO-LA@CAN). The catalyst was thoroughly characterized using FT-IR, XRD, TEM, SEM-EDX, VSM, TGA, and N adsorption-desorption analyses. The catalytic efficiency of FeO-LA@CAN was evaluated in the C3-selective formylation of free (N-H) indole derivatives, exhibiting excellent activity and broad substrate scope.

We conducted a field nitrogen addition experiment in a subtropical natural forest taking ammonium nitrate as nitrogen source. There were three nitrogen addition levels: 0, 20, and 80 kg N·hm·a, corresponding to the control, low nitrogen, and high nitrogen treatments, respectively. In the ninth year of treatments, we collected samples of surface soil from 0 to 15 cm to determine soil basic chemical properties, microbial community composition, acid phosphatase activity, and analyzed leaf nitrogen and phosphorus contents, leaf phosphorus fractions, and fine root biomass and phosphorus content in .

The agriculture sector is under considerable pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The use of grass from farmland as a feedstock for anaerobic digestion (AD) can contribute to the development of biomethane as a renewable energy. Digestate, a by-product of AD, can be recycled as a source of N fertilizer on grassland, but little is known about its nitrous oxide (NO) emissions (a potent greenhouse gas) following land-spreading.
