I dunno if someone will be interested but since I am busy working on this, I'll publish it here to accomplish my March 4 article hihi

Ammonia

Ammonia is considered crucial especially for the agriculture industry, in which about 80% of ammonia produced is used in agriculture, due to its role as fertilizer. It has also promising applications such as refrigerant gas, water supply purification, and manufacture of other chemicals (Health.Ny.Gov, 2005). The most widely used ammonia synthesis is the Haber-Bosch process which operates at high pressure and temperature (Ghavam, et. al., 2021).

The ammonia market is segmented by type and end-user industry. By type, the market is segmented into liquid and gas. By end-user industry, the ammonia market is divided into agriculture, textiles, mining, pharmaceutical, refrigeration, and other end-user industries. With an estimated market share of over 80%, the agriculture industry leads the ammonia market. Ammonia is primarily used in fertilizers, and its use has been steadily growing over time. Agricultural production growth rates are steadily dropping, despite the fact that the medium-term outlook for world agriculture remains basically intact even after the pandemic, so fertilizer consumption will be pushed up by expectations to enhance fertilizer efficiency and recycle more organic nutrient sources in industrialized countries and an increasing number of emerging economies. The worldwide fertilizer market is growing slowly, however demand for ammonia-based fertilizers is improving (Mordor Intelligence, 2021).

In pure form, ammonia is known as anhydrous ammonia that readily absorbs moisture. It's employed in business and trade, and can be found in humans and the environment. Ammonia is a precursor for amino acid and nucleotide synthesis and is required for numerous biological functions. Also, it is a component of the nitrogen cycle in the environment, and is created in soil by bacterial activities, it is also produced naturally when organic materials, such as plants, animals, and animal excrement, decomposes (Health.Ny.Gov, 2005).

Before, the synthesis of ammonia was done by distillation of nitrogenous vegetable and animal products. Today, the modern process first converts natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, or petroleum naphtha into gaseous hydrogen. Steam reforming is the technique used for producing hydrogen from hydrocarbons. To produce the desired end-product ammonia, the hydrogen is then catalytically reacted with nitrogen (derived from process air) to form anhydrous liquid ammonia. This step is known as the ammonia synthesis loop also referred to as the Haber-Bosch process:

Ammonia has a lot of useful applications, however careful and safety handling must be applied since it requires certain process of storage like any other chemicals.

Hope we'll be able to defend our proposal for plant design kskks we're already behind schedule and exam is approaching huhu

Alwayzz curious,
