Key Points: Manufacture of Ammonia

  • Reactants: Nitrogen and hydrogen in 1:3 ratio by volume.
  • Conditions: 450–500°C, 200+ atm pressure, iron catalyst with molybdenum or Al₂O₃.
  • Reaction: Reversible, exothermic, and reduces volume:
      N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃ + heat
  • Yield: 15% per pass; up to 98% yield by recycling unreacted gases.
  • Purification: CO₂, CO, and H₂S must be removed to protect the catalyst.
