It is important to remove CO in the synthesis of ammonia as CO adversely affects the activity of the iron catalyst, used in Haber's process.
What else can I help you with?
What are some common uses of molybdenum?
It can used as a promoter in the maufacture of ammonia in habers process
Why is it necessary to remove CO when ammonia is obtained by Habers process?
Carbon monoxide (CO) acts as a poison to the catalyst used in the Haber process, typically iron. The presence of CO can deactivate the catalyst, reducing its efficiency in promoting the synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen. Therefore, removal of CO is necessary to ensure optimal performance and yield of ammonia in the Haber process.
How ammonia manufactured industrially?
Ammonia is used in the manufacture of such things as : Fertilisers, such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium hydrogen phosphate, and urea. Nitric acid, which is used to manufacture Ammonium nitrate fertiliser. Dyes. Fibres and plastics. Explosives, such as ammonium nitrate, trinitrotoluene (TNT) and nitroglycerine. Cyanides, which are used to manufacture synthetic polymers, such as nylon and acrylics. Extract gold from ore bodies.
