How do modern ammonia production facilities obtain pure hydrogen and pure nitrogen for the Haber process?

Hydrogen is produced by reacting methane (CH4(g),(natural gas)) with steam (H2O(g)), producing carbon dioxide (CO2(g)) and hydrogen (H2(g)). Nitrogen (N2(g)) is obtained by the fractional distillation of air (~78% N2(g)). Fractional distillation is a process by which the components in a chemical mixture are separated according to their different boiling points. Vapours from a boiling solution are passed along a cooled column. The temperature of the column gradually decreases along its length. Components with a higher boiling point condense on the column and return to the solution; components with a lower boiling point pass through the column, are condensed, and are collected in a suitable collecting vessel.

What is the production of ammonia by bacteria during the decay of animal waste called?
The production of ammonia by bacteria during the decay of nitrogen-containing urea is called nitrogen cycle. The process of combining nitrogen gas with hydrogen to form ammonia is called nitrogen fixation.
What are the raw materials used in the production of ammonia?
By the Haber process, hydrogen gas reacts with nitrogen gas to produce ammonia.
Does ammonia have nitrogen?
Yes. Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen.
Why ammonia is not a metalloide?
Metaloids are elements, ammonia is a compound consisting of nitrogen and hydrogen. Nitrogen and hydrogen are nonmetals.
Is nitrogen oxide ammonia?
No. There are several oxides of nitrogen; none of which are ammonia. Ammonia is NH3, a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen.
Is ammonia a metal or nonmetal?
Ammonia is a non-metal because it consists of nitrogen and hydrogen which are both non-metals.
