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

BUFFALO, N.Y. — There’s a good chance you owe your existence to the Haber-Bosch process. This industrial chemical reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen produces ammonia, the key ingredient to ...

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 ...

In these conditions, some of the hydrogen and nitrogen will react to form ammonia. Stage four The unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen, together with the ammonia, pass into a cooling tank. The cooling ...

Ammonia is one of the unsung heroes of modern civilization. Without it, the world’s agricultural productivity would be a ...

Researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a new reactor that can produce ammonia directly from air and water — ...

Taking inspiration from how nature—including lightning—produces ammonia, a team led by the University at Buffalo has ...

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 ...

The aforementioned Haber-Bosch process, which is the most widely used method for making ammonia with high temperature and high pressure, uses fossil fuels and contributes about 1.2% of all carbon ...

Ammonia production presently involves the Haber-Bosch process, which is energy and hydrogen intensive; quite a large part of hydrogen derives from fossil fuels. Such characteristics make the ammonia ...

which is manufactured at an enormous scale by combining nitrogen gas from the air with hydrogen gas at high temperatures and pressures in the energy-intensive Haber–Bosch process. Ammonia is ...
