Producing enough ammonia to feed the world comes with a large carbon footprint; a process described in a new UB-led study ...

Ammonia is one of the unsung heroes of modern civilization. Without it, the world’s agricultural productivity would be a fraction of what it is today, and billions of people would starve. Yet, ammonia ...

Ammonia can also be made in Japan. But the traditional production method, known as the Haber-Bosch process, relies on natural gas, a fossil fuel. In conjunction with several universities in Japan ...

The current ammonia synthesis method is the Haber-Bosch process, which involves reacting atmospheric nitrogen and hydrogen produced from methane using an Iron-based catalyst. More than a century after ...

Producing sufficient ammonia to sustain global food production carries a significant carbon footprint; a new UB-led study ...

Taking inspiration from how nature --including lightning -- produces ammonia, a team has developed a reactor that produces the chemical commodity from nitrogen in the air and water, without any carbon ...

Look ma, no Haber-Bosch Process!In the latest bid to greenify ammonia production, researchers at Stanford University and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals have come up with a portable ...

Researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a new reactor that can produce ammonia directly from air and water — without releasing any greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

A major use of ammonia is in the manufacture of fertilisers. The most effective fertilisers contain nitrogen because plants need it in order to produce proteins. Phosphorus and potassium are also ...

Ammonia, NH 3, is an alkaline gas and so turns damp red litmus paper blue. Ammonium ions (NH 4 +) – found in ammonium compounds such as ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate ...

"Natural gas contains both carbon and hydrogen, but you only need the hydrogen for ammonia. As a result, a lot of carbon is released during the production process," Istrate explains. One potential ...
