The Haber-Bosch (HB) process is one of the most important industrial chemical reactions. It combines nitrogen and hydrogen gases in the presence of an iron-based catalyst at high temperatures and ...

Ammonia sits at the heart of modern agriculture and heavy industry, but the way the world makes it today is one of the most ...

Researchers have now been able to study the surface of iron and ruthenium catalysts when ammonia is formed from nitrogen and hydrogen. A better knowledge of the catalytic process and the possibility ...

Scientists at Science Tokyo have developed an iron-based catalyst that outperforms the century-old conventional catalyst used for ammonia (NH 3) production. The team designed the catalyst with an ...

Scientists cut down over 99% of the CO 2 production during the conversion of crude oil products into fuels. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Fischer–Tropsch synthesis ...

In spite of 3 Nobel Prizes (1918, 1931, and 2007) for the Haber-Bosch process, it has not been possible to experimentally investigate the catalyst surface with surface-sensitive methods under real ...

NH 3 is one of the most important chemicals in today’s world, as it is used in the production of fertilizers to boost agricultural yields and sustain the ever-growing global population. For over 100 ...
