The nitrogen cycle is the complex series of reactions by which nitrogen is slowly but continually recycled in the atmosphere, lithosphere (earth) and hydrosphere (water). Atmospheric nitrogen is made accessible to us and other life-forms in mainly two ways. 

In a 1-1. three-necked flask equipped with a dry ice-acctone condenser and a sealed mechanical stirrer is placed 700 ml. of commercial, anhydrous, liquid ammonia. To the stirred ammonia is added a small piece of potassium metal. (Caution1 Care should he exercised in handling potassium metal, since it is extremely reactive and it ignites on contact with water, atmospheric moisture, or alcohol. It should he manipulated under toluene or xylene, and blotted with filter paper before addition.) After the appearance of a blue color a few crystals of ferric nitrate hydrate (ca. 0.1 g.) are added, followed by small pieces of freshly cut potassium metal until 7.0 g. (0.18 g. atom) has been added. After all the potassium has been converted to the amide (Note 7), 24.9 g. (0.154 mole) of sodio-2-formyl-6-methylcyclohexanone is added carefully through a powder funnel (Note 8). After 1 hour a solution of 28.2 g. (0.21 mole) of w-butyl bromide (Note 9) in 50 ml. of anhydrous ether is added dropwise from an addition funnel. The mixture is stirred for 3 hours, and then the dry ice-acetone condenser is replaced by a water condenser. A steam bath is placed under the flask, and the ammonia is evaporated (Caution ) as 400 ml. of anhydrous ether is added. When the...

The circulation of water in the Arctic Basin is a complex system of cycles and currents with different scales. Block HB simulates the dynamics of Arctic Basin water by the system of sub-blocks presented in Figure 6.2. The water dynamics in 2 is presented by flows between compartments Eijk. The directions of water exchanges are represented on every level zk = z0 + (k — 1 )A k according to Aota et al. (1992) in conformity with the current maps assigned as SSMAE input. The external boundary of 2 is determined by the coastline, the sea bottom, the Bering Strait, the southern boundary of the Norwegian Sea, and the water-atmosphere interface. 

Native metals. Only a relatively small number of the metals are capable of existence in nature in the uncombined condition—for example, copper, silver, gold, antimony, bismuth, and platinum. These so-called noble metals are those which exhibit such low degrees of chemical activity that they can exist in nature without entering into chemical combinations resulting from reactions with water, atmospheric oxygen, or carbon dioxide. 

Another environmental factor of prime importance is weathering, i.e. cyclic exposure to water, atmospheric gases, temperature variations, abrasion. These natural processes produce alteration of the surface composition and introduce point defects which have special adsorptive and energetic properties.

Another form of removal through the water-atmosphere interphase is aerosol formation in marine surface waters where salt spray tends to remove mainly NaCl, NaS04, and MgS04. These are generally known as cyclic salts due to their potential return to the sea through rain washout.
