- The Haber Process
- N2 + 3H2 2NH3
- Conditions
- 150-300 atmospheric pressure
- 400-450 degrees celcius
- Raw Materials
- Nitrogen and Hydrogen
- Can both be recycled at the end of the reaction
- Iron Catalyst is used to make the prosecc faster
- it also improved the end product as ir added more traces of other metal oxide
- Nitrogen and Hydrogen
- Energy and Cost
- 1–2% of the world's annual energy supply
- It is an expensive process as it uses alot of energy and takes place at a high temperature and atmospheric pressure
- Staff wages must also be taken into account
- Environmental Factors
- That fertilizer is responsible for sustaining one-third of the Earth's population
- the rise of the Haber industrial process led to the "Nitrate Crisis" in Chile
- the natural nitrate mines were no longer profitable and were closed.
