In many regions of the US and the world, it is illegal to produce or possess Nitrous Oxide without the proper permits. Check with your local authorities before you pursue anything further along this course!

I assume that "... remedial step 4 nitrous oxide" means "remedial step for nitrous oxide". Is that correct? It is better to use real English rather than cell phone text messaging language.

You need to explain your question much better. Are you talking about nitrous oxide as part of gaseous pollutant emissions (from automobiles or industrial furnaces) that are commonly referred to as "nitric oxides" or also as "NOx" ? If so, remediating such emissions is known as "thermal de-Nox or "catalytic de-Nox" or "selective catalytic reduction (SCR)" ... rather than "denitrification".

Or are you talking about removing nitrous oxide from something other than gaseous pollutant emissions?

Do you mean can nitrous oxide be removed from car exhaust fumes? (remedial)?

Yes, the emission of nitrogen oxides from automobile exhausts can be reduced. Read these online sites:

Nitrous oxide is a very specific Oxide of Nitrogen, N2O, and is normally used in a medical environment.

NOx is another matter

Guest:

Yes, one use of N2O is in a medical environment. When I asked the original poster (Brainwave) to give us more context as to what he meant with his question about "remediation" of nitrous oxide, his reply was "Do you mean can nitrous oxide be removed from car exhaust fumes? (remedial)?".

That would seem to indicate that he was not talking about any medical applications ... so why bring that subject up? Why not concentrate on what the original poster was talking about?

Chill out mbeychok. You are a little militant for a "discussion".

Firstly, the original poster was not "Brainwave", but in fact was "captain planet".

Secondly, I dont agree that the "guest" poster was off-topic.

So mbeychok. Have a little jasmine tea and put your feet up........relaaaaaaax.

Brainwave:

I apologise for naming you as the original poster. Did you find those articles about reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions in automobile exhausts to be of interest?

Regards,

The term "denitrification" means different things to different occupations. Denitrification in tertiary sewage treatment, for example, involves the conversion of dissolved nitrate into nitrogen and oxygen gases by biological action.

Questions posed on CR4 get a much more concise, timely and valued response when the context within which the question is asked is given as background to the question, and this approach is thoroughly recommended. It is not possible to illustrate both the context and the question in a broken phrase of only nine words, one of which might be easily mistaken for a numeral.
