The Haber-Bosch process artificially fixes nitrogen by breaking the inert triple bond of nitrogen gas into ammonia fertilizer. Without this advance, our population would not have been able to feed ...

Although the Haber–Bosch process can convert N 2 to ammonia (NH 3), it requires high temperatures (350–550 °C) and pressures (150–350 atm), leading to significant energy consumption.

Iron is a catalyst for the reaction. It increases the rate of the reaction without being used up in the reaction.

Plants acquire these forms of “combined” nitrogen by: 1) the addition of ammonia and/or nitrate fertilizer (from the Haber-Bosch process) or manure to soil, 2) the release of these compounds ...

Ammonia is traditionally produced via the energy-intensive Haber–Bosch process. The continuous electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction offers a sustainable alternative, with recent ...
