  2. Fertilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer

    Nitrogen fertilizers are made from ammonia (NH 3) produced by the Haber–Bosch process. [28] In this energy-intensive process, natural gas (CH 4) usually supplies the hydrogen, and the nitrogen (N 2) is derived from the air. This ammonia is used as a feedstock for all other nitrogen fertilizers, such as anhydrous ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_production

    Almost every plant built between 1964 and 1992 had large single-train designs with syngas manufacturing at 25–35 bar and ammonia synthesis at 150–200 bar. Braun Purifier process plants utilized a primary or tubular reformer with a low outlet temperature and high methane leakage to reduce the size and cost of the reformer. Air was added to ...

  4. Nitrogen fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_fixation

    Plants that contribute to nitrogen fixation include those of the legume family—Fabaceae— with taxa such as kudzu, clover, soybean, alfalfa, lupin, peanut and rooibos. [45] They contain symbiotic rhizobia bacteria within nodules in their root systems, producing nitrogen compounds that help the plant to grow and compete with other plants. [64]

    Plants that contribute to nitrogen fixation include the legume family – Fabaceae – with taxa such as clover, soybeans, alfalfa, lupins, peanuts, and rooibos. They contain symbiotic bacteria called Rhizobia within nodules in their root systems , producing nitrogen compounds that help the plant to grow and compete with other plants.

  6. Haber process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process

    The dissociative adsorption of nitrogen on the surface follows the following scheme, where S* symbolizes an iron atom on the surface of the catalyst: [44] N 2 → S * –N 2 (γ-species) → S*–N 2 –S * (α-species) → 2 S*–N (β-species, surface nitride) The adsorption of nitrogen is similar to the chemisorption of carbon monoxide.

  7. Urea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea

    A plant in Bangladesh that produces urea fertilizer. More than 90% of world industrial production of urea is destined for use as a nitrogen-release fertilizer. [17] Urea has the highest nitrogen content of all solid nitrogenous fertilizers in common use. Therefore, it has a low transportation cost per unit of nitrogen nutrient.
