Talk:Nitrogen oxide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
there are NOT only 5 oxides of nitrogen there is also Dinitrogen Tetroxide N2O4 this is not a contributor to air pollution this oxide runs in equalibrium with NO2, produced naturally in low amounts.
2NO2 (g) <--> N2O4

[edit] NOx should have its own page
Given the atmospheric importance of NO and NO2 which have a fast cycle coupling them and the regulatory use of NOx for the sum of NO plus NO2 (in atmospheric chemistry other oxides of nitrogen are not part of NOx) I do not think that NOx should be part of the Nitrogen oxide page. I therefore call for the reinstatement of the NOx page.--NHSavage 07:19, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] No Prompt NOx description
There's no explanation as to what is Prompt NOx and how its formed. It might also be interesting to add the names of the people normally credited with discovering these NOx formation routes (Zeldovich in the Thermal NOx case and Fenimore in the Prompt NOx case)
- I was lured to this page as I was about to ask what "prompt NOx" is myself. I was thinking of asking the person responsible for originating the text but they were an IP number long inactive with only 1 edit. Can anyone enlighten me or provide a reference? By the way, not a bad idea about the discoverers. -Onceler 02:27, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NOx scavenging
Could someone add material on NOx scavenging? Thanks, Hu Gadarn 21:39, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Titanium dioxide
According to the French newspaper Ouestfrance a asphalt concrete including Titanium dioxide, 6 to 8 kg per square meter, destruct a substantial part of NOx. 216.86.113.16 01:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
