Potassium nitrate (KNO3) is a water-soluble inorganic salt that is commonly used as a source of nitrate.
Application
Potassium nitrate can be used in the following:
KNO3/Al2O3 is used as a solid base catalyst to synthesize by vapor-phase methylation of catechol with dimethyl carbonate.
KNO3/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) catalytic system is used in the oxidation of benzyl halides to aldehydes and ketones in aqueous media.
In the Cu/CeO2 catalytic system, KNO3 can also be utilized as a promoter to enhance the soot oxidation activity and resistance to sulfur poisoning of the catalyst.

Breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapies have demonstrated considerable success, though not without limitations. Non-thermal plasma (NTP) for cancer therapy has been emerging as a potential adjuvant treatment via induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD). Cancer cells undergoing ICD stimulate a patient's
Displacement of soil particles caused by erosion influences soil condition and fertility. To date, the cesium 137 isotope ((137)Cs) technique is most commonly used for soil particle tracing. However when large areas are considered, the expensive soil sampling and analysis

Nitrogen is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. Inorganic nitrogen and its assimilation products control various metabolic, physiological and developmental processes. Although the transcriptional responses induced by nitrogen have been extensively studied in the past, our work here

The aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity, specificity and time to results of mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) 960, microscopic observation drug susceptibility (MODS) assay and nitrate reductase assay (NRA) compared with the gold standard agar proportion
Microalgal starch is a potential feedstock for biofuel production. The effects of KNO(3) and MgSO(4) concentrations and light intensity on biomass and starch production by the marine microalga, Tetraselmis subcordiformis, were investigated. Under 200 μmol m(-2) s(-1) irradiance and sulfur-deprived
