Manufacture Of Ammonia
Ammonia- `Nasty Odour` `Fertilizer`
THE HABER PROCESS
The Haber Process combines Nitrogen from the air with hydrogen derived from natural gas into ammonia. The reaction is reversible and the production of ammonia is exothermic.
Ammonia is one of the most highly produced inorganic chemicals.
- Ammonia is used for fertilizing agricultural crops
- Ammonia is used for production of plastics, fibers, explosives, and nitric acid
- Ammonia is used for cleaning and refrigeration
- Lastly, used in pharmaceuticals
Manufacture Of Ammonia
2 Stages:
- Manufacture of Hydrogen
- Synthesis of Ammonia (the Haber process)
