  2. Haber process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process

    Fritz Haber, 1918. The Haber process, [1] also called the Haber–Bosch process, is the main industrial procedure for the production of ammonia. [2] [3] It converts atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) to ammonia (NH 3) by a reaction with hydrogen (H 2) using finely divided iron metal as a catalyst:

  3. Ammonia production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_production

    Ammonia electrolysis may require much less thermodynamic energy than water electrolysis (only 0.06 V in alkaline media). [23] Another option for recovering ammonia from wastewater is to use the mechanics of the ammonia-water thermal absorption cycle. [24] [25] Ammonia can thus be recovered either as a liquid or as ammonium hydroxide. The ...

    [100] [101] [102] Its high octane rating of 120 [103] and low flame temperature [104] allows the use of high compression ratios without a penalty of high NO x production. Since ammonia contains no carbon, its combustion cannot produce carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, or soot. Ammonia production currently creates 1.8% of global CO ...

  5. Latent heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_heat

    Latent heat is energy transferred in a process without change of the body's temperature, for example, in a phase change (solid/liquid/gas). ... Ammonia: 332.17 −77. ...

  6. History of the Haber process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Haber_process

    In the 1870s, ammonia was an unwanted byproduct of making manufactured gas. Its importance emerged later, and in the 1900s the industry modified their facilities to produce it from coke. Still, production could not meet demand. [25] In 1900, Chile, with its deposits of saltpeter, produced two-thirds of all fertilizer on the planet. [26]

  7. Ostwald process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostwald_process

    The Ostwald process begins with burning ammonia.Ammonia burns in oxygen at temperature about 900 °C (1,650 °F) and pressure up to 8 standard atmospheres (810 kPa) [4] in the presence of a catalyst such as platinum gauze, alloyed with 10% rhodium to increase its strength and nitric oxide yield, platinum metal on fused silica wool, copper or nickel to form nitric oxide (nitrogen(II) oxide) and ...

  9. Liquid nitrogen wash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen_wash

    Liquid Nitrogen Wash is a process mainly used for the production of ammonia synthesis gas within fertilizer production plants. It is usually the last purification step in the ammonia production process sequence upstream of the actual ammonia production .
