N-15 NMR Study of the Immobilization of 2,4- and 2,6-Dinitrotoluene in Aerobic Compost 2,4-Dinitrotoluene and 2,6-dinitrotoluene undergo reductive transformation to monoamines that subsequently form covalent bonds with organic matter during aerobic composting. 2,4-Dinitrotoluene and 2,6-dinitrotoluene undergo reductive transformation to monoamines that subsequently form covalent bonds with organic matter during aerobic composting.

Biogeochemical Processes That Produce Dissolved Organic Matter From Wheat Straw The chemical reactions that lead to the formation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in natural waters are poorly understood. Studies on the formation of DOM generally are complicated because almost all DOM isolates have been derived from mixtures of plant species composed of a wide variety of different types of precursor compounds for DOM formation. This report describes a study of DOM derived mainly from bales of wheat straw that had been left in a field for several years. During this period of time, black water from the decomposing wheat straw accumulated in pools in the field. The nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectra of the black water DOM indicate that it is composed almost entirely of lignin and... Categories: Publication; Types: Citation

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
