Composting is a promising technology to decompose organic waste into humus-like high-
quality compost, which can be used as organic fertilizer. However, greenhouse gases (N 2 …

Two decades ago, theoretical model calculations played a truly minor role in understanding
mechanisms of redox-active metalloenzymes. The methods available to treat transition …

Transition metal–sulfur (M–S) compounds are an indispensable means for biological
systems to convert N2 into NH3 (biological N2 fixation), and these may have emerged by …

Transition metal-driven small molecule activation is essential for the production of fuels and
chemicals or energy supply. The use of multimetallic catalysts, where two or more metal …

Bacteria capable of reduction of nitrous oxide (N2O) to N2 separate into clade I and clade II
organisms on the basis of nos operon structures and nosZ sequence features. To explore …

Biological denitrification process in mainstream wastewater treatment often needs dosing
supplemental electrons, consequently adding a remarkable operating cost. Organic carbon …

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas”, is formed as a by-product in several
industrial processes. It is also readily available by thermal decomposition of ammonium …

Non-thermal plasma (NTP) has been introduced over the past several years as a promising
method for nitrogen oxide (NO x) removal. The intent, when using NTP, is to selectively …

This review article summarizes efforts to use nitrous oxide (N2O,'laughing gas') as a reagent
in synthetic chemistry. The focus will be on reactions which are carried out in homogeneous …

The active site of nitrous oxide reductase (N2OR), a key enzyme in denitrification, features a
unique μ4-sulfido-bridged tetranuclear Cu cluster (the so-called CuZ or CuZ* site). Details of …
