Sunlight, water, air and metal-organic catalysts—that could be all it takes. TU Wien has shown how catalyst design can be ...

Fixation of Nitrogen (N2) to Ammonia (NH3) is an essential process for maintaining life on earth. Currently, Ammonia (NH3) production is dominated by the Haber–Bosch process. It operates under ...

Scientists at Australia's Monash University claim to have made a critical breakthrough in green ammonia production that could displace the extremely dirty Haber-Bosch process, with the potential to ...

We here on Earth live at the bottom of an ocean of nitrogen. Nearly 80% of every breath we take is nitrogen, and the element is a vital component of the building blocks of life. Nitrogen is critical ...

In America, corn syrup is king, and real sugar hovers somewhere around prince status. We’re addicted to corn, and corn, in turn, is addicted to nitrogen. A long time ago, people figured out that by ...

New research has resulted in a greater understanding of how the Haber-Bosch process converts nitrogen to ammonia. For the past 100 years, the Haber-Bosch process has been used to convert atmospheric ...

Five hundred degrees Celsius and 200 bar – these are the conditions usually required to get nitrogen to combine with hydrogen to generate ammonia. Only in this form can the nitrogen be used by plants.

Ammonia is one of the most important chemicals in modern society. It is obtained using the process developed by Carl Bosch 150 years ago. The chemist and process engineer Carl Bosch was born in ...

1874: Carl Bosch, a chemist whose work would transform agriculture and industry -- and eventually enable the Green Revolution -- is born. Bosch's contribution to humanity was the development of the ...
