The reactivity of nitrogen oxides towards sodium carbonate and hydrogencarbonate based solids was measured within a range of variables which is of technological interest. The reactivity is significant at lower temperatures only and is not affected by the presence of carbon dioxide or oxygen. Water vapor acts as a catalyst. Nitrogen dioxide is more reactive than nitrogen monoxide. The reactivity of the solid depends substantially on its origin and way of preparation. As compared with SO2 or HCl, nitrogen oxides exhibit a lower reactivity, presumably because the solid is blocked by the reaction products.

A general analysis of chemical equilibria in a system consisting of the gaseous nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen and of the solid sodium carbonate is carried out with respect to the equilibrium partial pressures of nitrogen oxides. The pertaining equations are derived for three regions of existence of the above system. The results are represented graphically and discussed from the point of view of removing the nitrogen oxides from the waste gases.

A general analysis of chemical equilibria in a system consisting of the gaseous nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, water vapor, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and the solid calcium hydroxide is carried out with respect to the equilibrium partial pressures of nitrogen oxides. The conditions are defined, under which the calcium hydroxide is transformed to the calcium carbonate. The corresponding equilibrium equations are derived for all nine regions of existence of described system. The results are illustrated graphically and discussed from the point of removing the nitrogen oxides from waste gases.

Introduction: Air pollution occurs when the concentration of certain substances (pollutants) reaches a size which causes its toxicity, or in other words, begins to cause harm to human health, fl ora and wildlife.Methods: Measurements were performed in the period from 2005 to 2010, at the measuring point Bjelave-Sarajevo by the method of Griess-Saltzmann. It encompasses the following parameters: NO, NO2, NOx, measured concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere reduced to normal atmospheric conditions of 293 K (Kelvin) and pressure of 101.3 kPa (kilopascal).Results: NO concentration in the period from 2005 to 2008 was above the permitted value, but the results of research in the period between 2009 and 2010, have shown that there was a decrease in NO concentration in the atmosphere. Measurements show that the concentration of this pollutant is currently declining, which is a positive result compared to the pollution of the atmosphere by nitrogen monoxide. Furthermore, the results of the research showed that the concentration of NO2 for the period of 2005 to 2010, is in the limited values, and that has a decreasing trend, which is also a positive result compared to the pollution of the atmosphere by nitrogen dioxide. Related to the total concentration of NOx in the atmosphere, the results of the research show that their representation corresponds to the limit values existing in the Rulebook on limit values for air quality.Conclusion: The results of the research for the pollution of the atmosphere by nitrogen oxides in the investigated area show that the amount of nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere is in constant decline.

Knowing the process of generating exhaust emissions and the determination of influential parameters are important factors in improving two-stroke slow-speed marine engines, particularly for further reductions in fuel consumption and stringent regulations on the limitation of nitrogen oxide emissions. In this article, a model of a marine low-speed two-stroke diesel engine has been developed. Experimental and numerical analyses of the nitrogen monoxide formations were carried out. When measuring the concentration of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust emissions, the amount of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is usually measured, because nitrogen monoxide is very unstable, and due to the large amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases, it is rapidly converted into nitrogen dioxide and its amount is included in the total emission of nitrogen oxides. In this paper, the most significant parameters for the formation of nitrogen monoxide have been determined. Model validation was performed based on measured combustion pressures, engine power, and concentrations of nitrogen oxides at 50% and 75% of maximum continuous engine load. The possibilities of fuel consumption optimization and reduction in nitrogen monoxide emissions by correcting the injection timing and changing the compression ratio were examined. An engine model was developed, based on measured combustion pressures and scavenging air flow, to be used on board by marine engineers for rapid analyses and determining changes in the concentration of nitrogen oxides in exhaust emissions. The amount of nitrogen oxide in exhaust emissions is influenced by the relevant features described in this paper: fuel injection timing and engine compression ratio. The presented methodology provides a basis for further research about the simultaneous impact of changing the injection timing and compression ratio, exhaust valve opening and closing times, as well as the impact of multiple fuel injection to reduce consumption and maintain exhaust emissions within the permissible limits.

Abstract Very fast reactions of forming higher nitrogen oxides set out an equilibrium framework for the course of the reaction of nitrogen monoxide oxidation. The slow course of reaction of nitrogen monoxide with oxygen permanently violates the created equilibria. In particular, the equilibrium of the oxidation reaction of nitrogen monoxide with nitrogen dioxide. The contribution of this reaction to the transformation of nitrogen monoxide in the conditions of nitrogen trioxide removal from the gas phase was estimated.

<p>Nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>) and nitrogen monoxide (NO) govern the photochemical processes in the troposphere. Although nitrogen oxides have been measured for decades, their quantification remains challenging. The MetNO2 (Metrology for Nitrogen Dioxide) project of the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR) aims to improve the accuracy of NO<sub>2</sub> measurements.</p><p>In total 15 instruments were intercompared at the World Calibration Centre for nitrogen oxides (WCC-NOx) in Jülich in autumn 2019 within the project. In addition to chemiluminescence detectors (CLD), the instruments encompassed Quantum Cascade Laser Absorption Spectrometers (QCLAS), Iterative CAvity-enhanced Differential optical absorption spectrometers (ICAD) and Cavity Attenuated Phase Shift (CAPS) spectrometers.</p><p>During the campaign, air from a gas phase titration unit, air from the environmental chamber SAPHIR or outside air was provided to the instruments via a common inlet line. The participants calibrated their instruments prior and after the campaign with their own calibration procedures. During the campaign, the common inlet line was used for daily calibration to compare standards, calibration techniques and sensitivity drifts of the instruments. NO<sub>2</sub> for calibration was provided either by gas phase titration from NO, from permeation tubes or from gas mixtures produced within the MetNO2 project.</p><p>It was observed that measurements by chemiluminescence or CAPS instruments are prone to interferences from humidity and ozone. However, in most cases data can be corrected. Alkyl nitrates and reactive alkenes were also observed to cause interferences in some instruments, while isobutyl nitrite was found to be photolyzed by photolytic converters.</p><p>Finally, measurements in ambient air were compared. The nitrogen oxide observations were accompanied with measurements of hydroxyl radical (OH) reactivity and reactive nitrogen species as nitrous acid (HONO), dinitrogen pentoxide (N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>), and chloryl nitrate (ClNO<sub>2</sub>). Detailed results of the intercomparison will be presented.</p>

A simple two-stage gas chromatograph is described which employs only one detector for both effluent streams. It was designed specifically for the routine quantitative analysis of mixtures of ethylene oxide, carbon dioxide, and ethylene in the presence of water vapor and a large excess of air, and for concentrations down to 0.2% by volume of individual components.
