The experiment included four N rates for rice and wheat, respectively: N1 (125 and 94 kg N ha-1), N2 (225 and 169 kg N ha-1), N3 (325 and 244 kg N ha-1), and NO (0 kg N ha-1). The results showed that an overlying water layer during the rice growing seasons contributed to moderate concentrations of NO3-N in sampled waters and the concentrations of NO3-N only showed a rising trend during the field drying stage. The NO3-N concentrations in leachates during the wheat seasons were much higher than those during the rice seasons, particularly in the wheat seedling stage. In the wheat seedling stage, the NO3-N concentrations of leachates were significantly higher in N treatments than in NO treatment and increased with increasing N rates. As the NO3-N content (below 2 mg N L-1) at a depth of 80 cm during the rice-wheat rotations did not respond to the applied N rates, the high levels of NO3-N in the groundwater of paddy fields might not be directly related to NO3-N leaching. Crop growth trends were closely related to variations of NO3-N in leachates. A reduction in N application rate, especially in the earlier stages of crop growth, and synchronization of the peak of N uptake by the crop with N fertilizer application are key measures to reduce N loss. Above-ground biomass for rice and wheat increased significantly with increasing N rate, but there was no significant difference between N2 and N3. Increasing N rates to the levels greater than N2 not only decreased N use efficiency, but Mso significantly increased N loss. After two cycles of rice-wheat rotations, the apparent N losses of N1, N2 and N3 amounted to 234, 366 and 579 kg N ha-1, respectively. With an increase of N rate from NO to N3, the percentage of N uptake in total N inputs decreased from 63.9% to 46.9%. The apparent N losses during the rice seasons were higher than those during the wheat seasons and were related to precipitation; therefore, the application of fertilizer should take into account climate conditions and avoid application before heavy rainfall.展开更多

The central uranyl ion is coordinated by six oxygen atoms, two from the carbonyl groups of N,N-dimethyl-N,N-dibenzenyl-urea molecules and the other four from two nitrate groups.展开更多

Copper was used as the cathode, graphite as the anode, and a cation membrane as the separator. The results show that N-MHA with a high purity of 99% can be electrosynthesized directly from nitromethane in HC1 solution. Under a constant current of 1000-2500A.m^-2 in the temperature of 30-50℃, the average yield, current efficiency, and reaction selectivity were 65%, 70%, and 99%, respectively. Graphite electrode and membrane material can be used continuously in the preparative electrolysis for 5000h. Moreover, the effects of the electrode and membrane materials, current intensity, electrolyte temperature, and other associated parameters on the electrosynthesis results were investigated. The direct current power consumption was 8151.3kW-h-(1000kg N-MHA)^ -1. This method is a simple separation process with limited contamination and hence, is a new green synthesis method for the industrial production of N-MHA.展开更多

A total of 328 soil samples were collected at different soil depths from 225 sites in China, which covered a wide range of climatic and geographic regions, soil types, croplands and soil textures, to evaluate the suitability of a quick reflectometer test method for analysing soil NO3-N in a wide range of soil NO3 concentrations, soil types and cropping systems in China, mainly by comparison of soil NO3-N assessed by a quick-test method (a reflectometer) and a standard laboratory method, i.e., high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The reflectometer showed excellent agreement with the laboratory HPLC method with regard to soil nitrate contents for all analysed soil samples. The linear regression had slopes of 1 ± 0.08 and intercepts of ± 1.38 mg NO(-,3)-N L^(-1) among different soil types and croplands. Compared with the 1:1 lines, the regression analysis for each soil type showed statistically significant but small differences in slope; the relative difference between the values measured using the two analytical systems varied from -8% to 6%, and there were no differences in intercept except for paddy soil. The reflectometer showed adequate, statistically significant precision in determining soil nitrate contents, and it could therefore be directly used instead of the laboratory methods for soil NO(-,3)-N measurement in China.展开更多
