  • Patent number: 12672602
    Abstract: Systems for producing nitrogen compounds that are configured for integration with an irrigation device. The systems generally include an absorber receiving a reactor-outlet stream comprising one or more oxidized nitrogen species, the absorber containing water to produce a nitrogen-compound stream comprising nitrates, nitrites, nitric acid, salts thereof, or a mixture thereof; and a system-outlet port configured to be fluidically coupled to an irrigation line, the system-outlet port in fluid communication with the absorber to receive at least a portion of the nitrogen-compound stream and provide the nitrogen-compound stream to the irrigation line.

  • Patent number: 12186728
    Abstract: Systems and methods for producing nitrates, nitric acid, salts thereof, or a mixture thereof are disclosed. The systems may include a feed conduit configured for receiving a feed stream comprising molecular oxygen and molecular nitrogen; an inlet conduit configured for receiving an inlet stream; a plasma reactor fluidically coupled to the inlet conduit, the plasma reactor fluidically coupled to a reactor-outlet conduit configured for receiving the reactor-outlet stream, the plasma reactor configured to produce oxidized nitrogen species; and an absorber fluidically coupled to the reactor-outlet conduit, the absorber configured to receive the reactor outlet stream and to produce nitrates, nitrites, nitric acid, salts thereof, or a mixture thereof from the reactor outlet stream. A recycle conduit may be fluidically coupled to the absorber and the inlet conduit, wherein the recycle conduit is configured to receive the gas-phase stream from the absorber and provide the gas-phase stream to the inlet conduit.
