    Abstract:

    The loss of nitrogen in the medium treated with amorphous ferric oxide was investigated with 15N-labelled ammonium sulfate in the incubation flasks under anaerobic condition. The gaseous composition of the atmosphere air in the upperspace above the same medium solution in the serum bustle was analyzed by Organic Mass Spectrometer during the experiment period. It was found that various gaseous fractions of 15N and nitrogen Loss occurred in the medium contaming 15NH4-N due to applying amorphous ferric oxide under anaerobic condition. The gaseous Fractions emited from the medium involved 15NO2, 15N2O, 15N14NO, 15NO, 15N2 and 15N14N. The rate of 15N lass was about 15%.It was primarily proved that the amorphous ferric oxide may act as an electron acceptor in the oxidation of NH4+-N under anaerobic condition. It rnay be another mechanism for nicrogen loss in paddy soils.
