  1. Ammonia Chain Mike Loper Paul Matthews

  2. Introduction • Production of ammonia • Uses and derivatives • Ammonium Nitrate • Ammonium Sulfate • Urea • Nitric Acid • Other • Economics

  3. Ammonia Production N2 + 3H2 + Δ/Pressure⇌ 2NH3 • Haber-Bosch process • Iron-Oxide catalyst • Ruthenium-Carbon new, but expensive • H2 usually direct from oil refinery • 85-90% Yield

  4. Uses and Derivatives of Ammonia • Mainly agriculture • Ammonium nitrate • Ammonium sulfate • Urea • Nitric Acid • Polymers • Acrylonitrile • Caprolactam • Explosives • Nitroglycerin • Very small portion

  5. Ammonium Nitrate NH3 + HNO3 → NH4NO3 • Prilling • Hot concentrate sprayed from tower • Removes end traces of water • 82:18 ratio of fertilizer:explosive end use • Cold packs

  6. Ammonium Sulfate 2NH3 + H2SO4 → (NH4)2SO4 • Fertilizer • Food additive • Enzyme purification

  7. Urea 2HN3 + CO2 → NH2COO-NH4+ → NH2CONH2 + H2O • 80% Yield • Excess is used for fertilizer • Direct fertilizer • Livestock feed • Resins • Adhesives • Explosives • Hair removal

  8. Nitric Acid 1. 4 NH3 + 5 O2 → 4 NO + 6 H2O 2. 2 NO + O2 → 2 NO2 3. 3 NO2 + H2O → 2 HNO3 + NO • Ostwald process • Made into other chemicals • Ammonium Nitrate • Polymers • Rocket Propellant
