A Chinese team has developed a method of converting nitrate in wastewater into ammonia.

The process yielded 1.8 kg (4 lb) of ammonia per ton of olivine. “These rocks are all over the world, so the method could be adapted very widely across the globe,” said Abate, adding that “there’s a ...

Ammonia is commonly used in fertilizer because it has the highest nitrogen content of commercial fertilizers, making it essential for crop production. However, two carbon dioxide molecules are made ...

This process largely follows an optimal chemical route known as the "NHO pathway." The catalyst significantly lowers the energy required for these key steps where hydrogen is added, making the ...

The production of ammonia for fertilisers – which has one of the largest carbon footprints among industrial processes – will soon be possible on farms using low-cost, low-energy and environmentally ...

Ammonia has been feeding the world for decades as a fertilizer and is now rapidly emerging as a carbon-free fuel for shipping ...

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 ...

King Dionysius I, ruler of Syracuse, Italy, in the 4th century B.C., invited his courtier Damocles to exchange places with him for a day. While enjoying a feast, Damocles immediately lost his appetite ...
