Title: How to produce Nitrate salt from NH4OH?
Post by: Justin_Is_Here on 11/12/2014 01:22:48

I want some reaction based on only above chemicals other than ostwald process.

I think it's impossible in one step.
Maybe, it will work:
1) In a solution there are , and (). If you'd can remove impurities...
2) Then



3) And then you can make all nitrate salts from .

P.S. But I'm not a chemist.

Any aqueous oxidations of ammonia or ammonium salts I have come across lead to formation of nitrogen gas, not nitrate...

Then Bacteria have better laboratories:

Yes. Enzymes can do remarkable transformations. Unfortunately, as far as I know there is no known way to this reaction in one of our labs...
