The present invention relates to a process for preparing C.sub.4-C.sub.15 lactams, in which a C.sub.1-C.sub.10-alkyl nitrite is reacted with a C.sub.4-C.sub.15-cycloalkane and is illuminated with a light-emitting diode during the reaction. This forms a C.sub.4-C.sub.15-cyclohexanone oxime which is then converted further to a C.sub.4-C.sub.15 lactam; the C.sub.1-C.sub.10 alcohol formed is recycled into the preparation of the C.sub.1-C.sub.10-alkyl nitrite.

A method of forming a fertilizer can include three steps: (1) hydrolyzing a starting material to form a hydrolyzed carbon compound; (2) infusing the hydrolyzed carbon compound with nitrogen under high temperature and high pressure to form a nitrogen-infused compound; and (3) oxidizing the nitrogen-infused compound to form the fertilizer. The starting material can be a compound that has a carbon-carbon bond and/or a carbon-hydrogen bond, and in some examples the starting material is a waste or by-product, such as leftover animal feed or plastics. The fertilizer can have a low salt index.
