Abstract The hydrogenation of nitriles to amines represents an important and frequently used industrial process due the broad applicability resulting products in chemistry life sciences. Despite existing portfolio catalysts reported for nitriles, development iron-based heterogeneous this is still a challenge.

Nitriding has been used for decades to improve the corrosion resistance of iron and steel materials. Moreover, nitrides (FexN) have shown give an outstanding catalytic performance in a wide range applications. We demonstrate that nitriding also substantially enhances reactivity zerovalent nanoparticles (nZVI) groundwater remediation, alongside reducing particle corrosion. Two different types FexN were synthesized by passing gaseous NH3/N2 mixtures over pristine nZVI at elevated temperatures....
