The industrial manufacture of ammonia (NH₃) from nitrogen (N₂) and hydrogen (H₂) is achieved through the Haber-Bosch process. This process involves reacting nitrogen from the air with hydrogen, usually derived from natural gas, at high temperature (400-450°C) and high pressure (150-250 atm) over an iron catalyst.
– Ammonia (NH₃) is synthesized from N₂ and H₂.
– The industrial method is called the Haber-Bosch process.
– It uses high temperature, high pressure, and an iron catalyst.
Ostwald’s process is used for the industrial production of nitric acid (HNO₃) from ammonia. Electrolysis is a process used to decompose substances using electricity. Electric furnaces are used for melting metals and other high-temperature processes, but not specifically for the Haber-Bosch synthesis.
