The last time you scrubbed a streaky window or polished a porcelain appliance, you probably used a chemical called ammonia.

Recently, chemical looping ammonia synthesis (CLAS) has emerged as a viable alternative method for ammonia production. Specifically, aluminium-oxide (Al (2) O (3) )-based chemical looping has shown ...

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 ...

Ammonia is an essential chemical used across many industries worldwide. Beyond its traditional role as a fertilizer, it is ...

Researchers describe a new process to produce ammonia with a potentially much lower carbon footprint. Ammonia is the second most commonly produced chemical in the world and an important component of ...

LONDON, Dec. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- After collaborating successfully for 20 years and working together to deliver 21 projects, Johnson Matthey (JM), a global leader in sustainable technologies, ...

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 ...

HOUSTON – (May 2, 2022) – A dash of ruthenium atoms on a mesh of copper nanowires could be one step toward a revolution in the global ammonia industry that also helps the environment. Collaborators at ...

Rice University engineers have designed a catalyst of ruthenium atoms in a copper mesh to extract ammonia and fertilizer from wastewater. The process would also reduce carbon dioxide emissions from ...

Engineers have developed a high-performance nanowire catalyst that pulls ammonia and solid ammonia (fertilizer) from nitrate, a common contaminant in industrial wastewater and polluted groundwater. A ...
