To demonstrate one potential use of the nanoparticles, the research team used them as advanced catalysts for ammonia oxidation, which is a key step in the production of nitric acid (a liquid acid that is used in
the production of ammonium nitrate for fertilizers, making plastics, and in the manufacturing of dyes).

No
ammonium or sulfite compounds are allowed in the
production of Class I Caramel Colors.
Class 1 Caramel Colors, which are defined as minimally processed, do not use
ammonium or sulfide compounds in
production and have the European designation E150a, are becoming the fastest - growing segment
of caramel colors since they meet consumer demand for cleaner labels, notes Sethness.
Splitting hydrogen from water: This illustration depicts the synthesis
of a new hydrogen -
production catalyst from soybean proteins and
ammonium molybdate.
Ocean acidification is also predicted to reduce microbial
production of nitrate from
ammonium (Beman et al., 2011), which could have major consequences for oceanic primary
production because a significant fraction
of the nitrate used by phytoplankton is generated by nitrification at the ocean surface (Yool et al., 2007).
