Ammonia has enormous potential as a fuel of the future, but most current production methods make it a dirty source of energy.
The novel iron-based catalyst exhibits superior performance for ammonia (NH3) synthesis compared to a well-established, ...
They exposed synthetic iron-rich minerals to nitrogen-laced water, triggering a chemical reaction that oxidized the rock and ...
Ammonia, used in fertilizer, is essential to our lives. Addis Energy is trying to make the chemical underground.
New method harnesses Earth's natural forces to produce ammonia sustainably, offering a greener alternative to fertilizer ...
The reaction is reversible ... a tank containing beds of iron catalyst at about 450°C. In these conditions, some of the hydrogen and nitrogen will react to form ammonia. Stage four The unreacted ...
Atmospheric nitrogen, with the aid of an iron catalyst, reacts with hydrogen to produce ammonia. That reaction produces lots of ammonia – worldwide production is 160 million tons every year.
