Explain how amonia is used to synthesize ammonia in simply plants with will balanced equation ? |
| Answer» To\xa0produce\xa0the desired end-product\xa0ammonia, the hydrogen is then catalytically reacted with nitrogen (derived from process air) to form anhydrous liquid\xa0ammonia. This step is known as the\xa0ammonia\xa0synthesis loop (also referred to as the Haber-Bosch process): 3H2\xa0+ N2\xa0→ 2NH.\xa0Due to the comparatively low price, high availability, easy processing, lifespan and activity,\xa0iron\xa0was ultimately chosen as catalyst. The production of for example 1800 tons ammonia per day requires a gas pressure of at least 130 bar, temperatures of 400 to 500 °C and a reactor volume of at least 100 m³. | |
