Zwergplanet Ceres: Ursprung im Asteroidengürtel?
Hellgelbe Ablagerungen im Consus Krater zeugen von Ceres‘ kryovulkanischer Vergangenheit – und beleben die Diskussion um ihren Entstehungsort neu. Eine Pressemitteilung des Max-Planck-Instituts für Sonnensystemforschung.

An article published in the journal "Communications Earth & Environment" reports the discovery of ammonium-rich areas in the famous bright spots on the dwarf planet Ceres. A team of researchers examined data collected by NASA's Dawn space probe focusing on Dantu crater to identify these compounds, which include a new ammonium salt.
Some plants are able to control soil nitrification by interfering with the activity of nitrifying bacteria and archea. Ardichvili et al. explore the consequences of control and plant preference for ammonium vs. nitrate on ecosystem productivity and more.

"The KNiHCF electrode spontaneously #oxidizes organic matter and uptakes #ammonium ions (NH4+) and potassium ions (K+) in #manure #wastewater with a nutrient selectivity of ∼100%. Subsequently, nitrogen- and potassium-rich fertilizers are produced alongside the electrosynthesis of H2 (green fuel) or H2O2 (disinfectant) while regenerating the KNiHCF electrode."
Ammonia recovery from manure wastewater not only protects the aquatic ecosystem but also contributes to a sustainable nutrient cycle. Here the authors develop an electrochemical process enabling efficient ammonia recovery, with decentralized fertilizer and chemical production, from ammonia-rich manure wastewater.
👍 Did you know that #ammonium #fertilisers have a smaller environmental impact than nitrate-based?
❌ But plants can be sensitive to too much!
🚜 Considering nutritional interactions between ammonium and essential mineral cations could boost productivity
