Question

What is industrial nitrogen fixation

Answer 1

Industrial Fixation. Under great pressure, at a temperature of 600°C, and with the use of a catalyst, atmospheric nitrogenand hydrogen (usually derived from natural gas or petroleum) can be combined to form ammonia (NH3).

Answer 2

Industrial nitrogen fixation

Explanation:

• Industrial nitrogen fixation through the Haber (or Haber-Bosch) process is a deliberate attempt of humans to produce ammonia.
• This process was invented in the early 1900s by German scientist Fritz Haber. It requires high pressure (200 atmospheres) and temperature (400 °C), and the resulting ammonia is used as a synthetic nitrogen fertilizer to enrich land for crop growth.
• The Haber process has become very popular and - with help from new crop varieties- has led to a great increase in agricultural productivity, necessary for the growing global population.
• It is estimated that the resulting ammonia sustains 1/3 of the Earth's population. It is also estimated that 1/2 of the protein in a human consists of nitrogen originally fixed by the Haber process.
