2. Nitric acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_acid

   Nitric acid is an inorganic compound with the formula H N O 3. ... The main industrial use of nitric acid is for the production of fertilizers.

3. Birkeland–Eyde process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkeland–Eyde_process

   The Birkeland–Eyde process was one of the competing industrial processes in the beginning of nitrogen-based fertilizer production. It is a multi-step nitrogen fixation reaction that uses electrical arcs to react atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) with oxygen (O 2), ultimately producing nitric acid (HNO 3) with water. [1]

4. Fertilizer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer

   This process was used to fix atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) into nitric acid (HNO 3), one of several chemical processes called nitrogen fixation. The resultant nitric acid was then used as a source of nitrate (NO 3 −). A factory based on the process was built in Rjukan and Notodden in Norway and large hydroelectric power facilities were built. [13]

5. Nitrophosphate process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrophosphate_process

   The nitrophosphate process (also known as the Odda process) is a method for the industrial production of nitrogen fertilizers invented by Erling Johnson in the municipality of Odda, Norway around 1927. The process involves acidifying phosphate rock with dilute nitric acid to produce a mixture of phosphoric acid and calcium nitrate.

   Ammonia and nitric acid are the main feedstocks for almost all nitrogen-based fertilizers. The need for food and the growing global population are driving up the price of nitric acid. The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that to feed the 9.1 billion people who will inhabit the planet by 2050, total food production must increase by 70 ...

7. Ostwald process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostwald_process

   The Ostwald process is a chemical process used for making nitric acid (HNO 3). [1] The Ostwald process is a mainstay of the modern chemical industry, and it provides the main raw material for the most common type of fertilizer production. [2]
