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 ...

Now that the concept of sustainability has grabbed global attention, chemists are contemplating new strategies for developing chemical products and processes in a more sustainable way. But chemists ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nitrogen is one of the most abundant elements on the planet, but until the turn of the 20th century nitrogen compounds were still hard to come by. So-called nitrogen fixation in compounds such as ...

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 ...

A phosphonium salt speeds the delivery of protons and boosts the performance of an electrochemical Haber-Bosch process to record levels (Science, 2021 DOI: 10.1126/science.abg2371). The Haber-Bosch ...

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 ...
