The present invention relates to increasing longevity of the nitrogen content of soil through improved liquid delivery formulations of nitrification inhibitors. The liquid formulation can also be comprised of nitrification inhibitors and optionally urease inhibitors that are blended solutions of each. The nitrification inhibitors are present in a mixture that comprises both a protic and an aprotic solvent system. The novel formulations are designed to be applied to fertilizers, especially urea and manure based fertilizers. The delivery formulations provide an environmentally sound and inherently safe solvating system that improves the storage stability of the urease inhibitors by utilizing liquid organic non-water containing solvents, maintains the nitrification inhibitors in solution to storage temperatures of at least 10? C., and provides improved application to fertilizer of nitrification inhibitors. These delivery formulations enable safe storage, transport and subsequent application or blending with urea-based or manure-based fertilizers that can be applied to soil in either a liquid or granular form to provide improved nitrogen retention in the soil for uptake for plant life.

New stabilizers for solutions of choline hydroxide and related quaternary trialkylalkanolamines are disclosed. The stabilizers are alkyl hydroxylamines, hydrazines, hydrazides, or derivates thereof, including compounds containing more than one such functionality. The new stabilizers are effective at concentrations less than about 1000 ppm, and choline hydroxide solutions stabilized with the compounds described herein typically have Gardner Color change less than about 2.0 after six months at reasonable temperatures.

Described is a method of synthesizing a corrosion inhibitor. An amine modified graphene oxide is synthesized from graphene oxide nanosheets using a bifunctional amine having a terminal amide group. Amide groups of the bifunctional amine are reacted with carboxyl groups of the graphene oxide. Aliphatic and amine modified graphene oxide is synthesized from the amine modified graphene oxide using an aliphatic acid. The aliphatic and amine modified graphene oxide includes aliphatic groups derived from a long chain aliphatic acid and amine groups derived from the bifunctional amine. Amine modified graphene oxide is synthesized by dispersing graphene oxide nanosheets in methanol, adding diethylenetriamine, and adding an amount of N,N-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) catalyst. Tetradecanoic and amine modified graphene nanosheets are synthesized by adding amine modified graphene to tetradecanoic acid to form a solution, then adding an amount of cobalt-salen catalyst to the solution.
