Question

Describe briefly with equations, the Bosch Process for the large scale production of Hydrogen ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Bosch process is the process used to prepare di-hydrogen commercially. In this process water gas (CO + H2, prepared from coal and water at 1270 K) is mixed with two times its volume of steam passed over catalyst Fe2O3, in the presence of promoter Cr2O3 or ThO2 at 773 K giving products CO2 and H2.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Haber process, also called the Haber–Bosch process, is an artificial nitrogen fixation process and is the main industrial procedure for the production of ammonia today. It is named after its inventors, the German chemists Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, who developed it in the first half of the 20th century.

Explanation:

Bosch process is the process used to prepare di-hydrogen commercially.

In this process water gas (CO + H2, prepared from coal and water at 1270 K) is mixed with two times its volume of steam passed over catalyst Fe2O3, in the presence of promoter Cr2O3 or ThO2 at 773 K giving products CO2 and H2.

CO2 is dissolved in water under pressure (20 to 25 atm) and is removed leaving behind un dissolved H2.
