The formation of nitrogen oxide

Nitrogen oxide (NOx) is a chemical compound combined with nitrogen and oxygen.

There is 78% of nitrogen in the atmosphere and it usually does not combine with oxygen but in the circumstances of high temperature, it combines with oxygen and thus results in nitrogen oxide (NOx).

Nitrogen oxide results from nitrogen and oxygen combination from high temperature equipment such as boilers, blast furnace, incineration plants, vehicle engines, etc.

Nitrogen acid turn into acid rain

Nitrogen oxide resulting from factories oxidizes through water vapor in the atmosphere and transforms into sulfuric acid or nitric acid that exerts negative effects to the human body.

SO2 → SO42, H2SO4
NOx → NO3, HNO3
Nitric acid or sulfuric acid falls from the atmosphere through absorption to rain, snow, and mist.

Harmful effects from acid rain

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a cause for pulmonary emphysema or bronchitis, and through the hydrocarbon in the atmosphere and sunlight, it can produce photochemical smog of ozone (O3), formaldehyde (HCHO) and affect human body through the eyes or noses.

Nitrogen monoxide (N2O) causes greenhouse gas in the dissolution process of microorganisms, and by reacting to water, it becomes nitric acid (HNO3) and can cause the depletion of the ozone layer and acid rain.

Acid rain can cause significant harmful effects to the environment. Fish, which are vulnerable to acid, will be harmed first, and then the soil will become contaminated and will result in harming plants growing from the soil and human bodies ingesting these plants.

EURO6

EURO6
EURO 6 is a nitrogen oxide regulation standard focused on nitrogen oxide reduction, and according to EURO 6, nitrogen oxide is controlled to under 0.08g/km from the original below 0.18g/㎞. Especially, the rate of nitrogen oxide reduction of large vehicles reaches 80 % (2.0g→0.4g) and in order to meet the standards, equipment for nitrogen oxide reduction is required.

At this point, EUROX will support to meet the EURO 6 regulation standard through LOTTE Fine Chemical’ strictly quality management process.

AdBlue

EURO6

Vehicle companies and chemical companies have developed a system that reduces nitrogen oxide emission from vehicle gases, and based on the recognition that the quality of the aqueous urea solution is significantly important in order to protect the system’s core catalyst equipment, the international quality standard has been enacted, and led by the German Automobile Manufacturers Association, we have developed and managed a co-brand called AdBlue.
LOTTE Fine Chemical is an initial member of the AdBlue and maintains permanent trademark rights.
