In this paper, a dispersion of glass beads of different sizes in an ammonium nitrate solution is investigated with the aid of Raman spectroscopy. The signal losses caused by the dispersion are quantified by an additional scattered light measurement and used to correct the measured ammonium nitrate concentration. Each individual glass bead represents an interface at which the excitation laser is deflected from its direction causing distortion in the received Raman signal. It is shown that the scattering losses measured with the scattered light probe correlate with the loss of the Raman signal, which means that the data obtained can be used to correct the measured values. The resulting correction function considers different particle sizes in the range of 2-99 µm as well as ammonium nitrate concentrations of 0-20 wt% and delivers an of 1.952 wt%. This correction provides easier process access to dispersions that were previously difficult or impossible to measure.

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.
