Oxidative fixation of molecular nitrogen

With regards to thermodynamic aspects, Chapter 4 discussed practically all known oxidation pathways of molecular nitrogen fixation, including reaction with hydrogen peroxide. 

The experimental studies considered in Chapter 4 clearly display the applied capabilities of this reaction [42-44], 

The determinant values lie in the range 0.5 D 1. Therefore, the chemical conjugation requirement is fulfilled and, probably, H02 radicals represent the general intermediate substance for both reactions H202 dissociation and N2 oxidation. 

To explain the mechanism of N2 oxidative fixation with hydrogen peroxide, the fact should be applied that the stage mechanism of unsaturated compound epoxidation includes elementary reactions involving HO and R02 free. These radicals are able to break the O—O bond with further addition of oxygen to epoxidized compound. 

Of special importance in this connection is the study of the interaction mechanism between H202 and NO at 633 K or higher. It is found [45] that the elementary reaction

To conclude the discussion, it should be noted that oxidative fixation of molecular nitrogen with hydrogen peroxide is fairly simple for process-engineering design, usually proceeds under homogeneous conditions without any catalyst under atmospheric pressure, and produces high yields of fixed nitrogen.
