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, ...

Strong electron donation from aluminum hydride to iron surface facilitates decomposition nitrogen molecules, followed by ammonia synthesis, even at 50°C ...

They exposed synthetic iron-rich minerals to nitrogen-laced water, triggering a chemical reaction that oxidized the rock and yielded ammonia, which the team dubbed "geological ammonia." The process ...

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 ...

because in the reaction that forms ammonia, the surface of the iron-rich rocks will be oxidized, leaving them in a state where they can’t keep reacting. But Abate says the team is working on ...

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.

Ammonia production via the Haber-Bosch process is the chemical industry’s greatest source of greenhouse gas emissions and ...

Addis Energy today introduced its technology platform, which harnesses the Earth’s chemical and thermal potential for clean ...
