Fixation of Nitrogen (N2) to Ammonia (NH3) is an essential process for maintaining life on earth. Currently, Ammonia (NH3) production is dominated by the Haber–Bosch process. It operates under ...
New research has resulted in a greater understanding of how the Haber-Bosch process converts nitrogen to ammonia. For the past 100 years, the Haber-Bosch process has been used to convert atmospheric ...
In America, corn syrup is king, and real sugar hovers somewhere around prince status. We’re addicted to corn, and corn, in turn, is addicted to nitrogen. A long time ago, people figured out that by ...
Nitrogen is crucial to plant life, and nitrogen-based fertilizers were essential for crops at the start of the 20th Century to produce more food. Even though there is limited supply of usable nitrogen ...
You might think that a low temperature is chosen, moving the equilibrium position to the right and making more ammonia. However, the rate of reaction is low at low temperatures. So a compromise ...
If I review the term Haber Process and accompany it with descriptive words such as industry, ammonia, nitrogen, fertilizer, and energy consumption, it is almost inevitable that most people will ...
A hundred million tonnes of nitrogen are now removed from the atmosphere and converted into fertilizer via the Haber-Bosch process, adding 165 million tonnes of reactive nitrogen to the soil. To ...
It has been called one of the greatest inventions of the 20th Century, and without it almost half the world's population would not be alive today. A hundred years ago two German chemists, Fritz Haber ...
