ECO-RN ADDRESSES THESE CHALLENGES DIRECTLY:

1. Independent of rainfall or lightning: ECO-RN captures nitrogen oxides from the atmosphere, meaning even in arid regions, nitrogen can be stored and delivered to crops.

2. Thermally stable and slow-release: The nanomaterial retains nitrogen bound as nitrate (NO₃⁻) even at elevated temperatures (up to 527 °C thermal stability on the nano-surface), ensuring continuous availability during droughts or heat stress.

3. Reduces nitrogen loss in extreme conditions: By binding NOx, ECO-RN prevents volatilisation and runoff, which are exacerbated in dry or flood-prone soils.

4. Optimises plant growth under stress: With a steady nitrogen supply, crops maintain chlorophyll biosynthesis, protein formatioN and overall metabolism, improving resilience in challenging climates.

IMPLICATIONS FOR FARMERS & AGROCHEMICAL COMPANIES:

• Hot, arid regions: ECO-RN ensures nitrogen is available when water is scarce, maintaining yields without repeated fertiliser application.

• Low-lightning areas: Crops no longer rely on rare natural nitrogen fixation events; ECO-RN acts as a reliable, artificial nitrogen source.

• Economic stability: Reduced fertiliser losses and improved yields provide predictable returns, even under extreme environmental conditions.

• Environmental protection: By capturing NOx and releasing nitrogen gradually, ECO-RN reduces greenhouse gas emissions and local air pollution, even in climates prone to extreme heat.

In essence, ECO-RN transforms climatic disadvantages into opportunities, providing a consistent, safe, and sustainable nitrogen supply where conventional fertilisers often fail.

ECO-RN is a white nanopowder with an extraordinary surface area. It acts as a highly effective NOx sorbent while serving as a nitrate storage system for plants. 

ECO-RN delivers a win-win scenario for farmers, the environment and society. By integrating nitrogen capture and fertiliser delivery, it redefines agriculture, creating a future where productivity and sustainability go hand in hand.

KEY BENEFITS:

• Captures NOx emissions from air, manure, fertilised soils, silos, barns and flue systems

• Converts NOx into nitrate (NO₃), nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen (N₂), with NO₃ thermally stable up to 527 °C

• Provides slow-release nitrogen to crops, supporting amino acid production, protein synthesis and chlorophyll metabolism

• Reduces repeated fertiliser applications, cutting costs and environmental impact

By binding nitrates to its nano-biomaterial surface, ECO-RN delivers nitrogen gradually, keeping it in the soil longer, minimising airborne emissions, reducing nitrogen runoff, and maintaining ecosystem balance.

HOW ECO-RN WORKS

• MANURE TREATMENT: ~0.15–0.2 g/m³ (1 m³ ≈ 400 kg) reduces NOx, odours and nutrient loss

• COATINGS: 0.2 g/L (~4 g per 5,000 m³). Prevents NO₂ escape into atmosphere from silos, barns, flues and freestall walls, captures NOx at the source

• SOIL/FIELD AIR: 23 - 25 g per/ha/annum. Treats ~30,000 m³ of air per hectare

ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS:

• Reduces soil acidity, improving fertility

• Anti-pathogenic activity against E. coli, S. aureus, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium oxalicum

• Supports microbial populations in soil and groundwater, aiding metals remediation

• Minimises nitrogen runoff, protecting waterways from algal blooms and dead zones

AGRICULTURE WITHOUT COMPROMISE

ECO-RN represents a dual approach to modern agriculture:

1. BOOSTING CROP YIELDS SUSTAINABLY

   • Provides a consistent, bioavailable nitrogen source

   • Enhances nitrogen use efficiency and plant growth

   • Reduces dependency on chemical fertilisers

2. ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION:

   • Captures and converts harmful NOx emissions

   • Protects soil health and biodiversity

   • Reduces air pollution, odours, and waterway contamination

ECO-RN is a nitrate carrier and soil amendment nanocatalyst —it is a nitrogen management system, turning a pollutant into a resource, while promoting long-term environmental sustainability.

ECONOMIC & HEALTH ADVANTAGES

• Cuts costs associated with repeated fertiliser applications

• Minimises NOx-related health risks, including respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease and cancer

• Preserves ecosystems and waterways, supporting biodiversity and local livelihoods

• Offers a cost-effective solution: farmers save money, and society gains cleaner air, healthier soil and safer food

THE BOTTOM LINE

NANOARC ECO-RN is bold, durable and scientifically credible. It is the long-term alternative to chemical fertilisers, providing:

• Sustainable crop nutrition through slow-release nitrate

• Air and soil remediation through NOx capture

• Economic benefits through reduced fertiliser usage and higher efficiency

• Ecosystem restoration by maintaining soil and water health

• FERTILISED CROPLAND SOILS: The annual average NOx concentrations typically range between 5 and 25 µg/m³, driven by microbial activity following fertiliser application, rainfall and dry soil conditions.

• MANURE STORAGE SYSTEMS: in lagoons and tanks, concentrations are generally higher, averaging 10 to 40 µg/m³ annually, with emissions produced continuously through the decomposition of nitrogen-rich organic matter.

• LIVESTOCK HOUSING: In barns and freestall systems, NOx levels are typically between 15 and 50 µg/m³ per year, due to the constant breakdown of urine and faeces in confined environments.

• SILAGE & GRAIN STORAGE AREAS: The annual averages range from 5 to 30 µg/m³, with intermittent spikes during periods of fermentation or organic decomposition.

• COMPOSTING AREAS: These show similar patterns, with average concentrations between 10 and 35 µg/m³ annually, increasing during active microbial decomposition phases.

• FARMYARDS & MIXED USE AREAS:, Areas where machinery operation and waste handling occur, NOx concentrations typically range from 10 to 30 µg/m³ per year, depending on activity levels.

• RURAL BACKGROUND AREAS: Areas with minimal direct emissions, concentrations are lower, generally between 4 and 10 µg/m³ annually, reflecting baseline atmospheric levels.
