Problems solved by technology

However, due to the high temperature and high pressure conditions required by the Haber process, the overall energy consumption of the ammonia synthesis industry is huge, and it also brings serious environmental problems (International Energy Agency, World Energy Outlook, 2007)
[0004] Patent CN109803923 provides a method for synthesizing ammonia with alkali metal as a catalyst, but the content of synthetic ammonia is very low according to the patented method, and the synthesis rate is also very low, so it is not easy to realize large-scale ammonia synthesis

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for catalytically synthesizing ammonia under normal pressure. In the present invention, hydrogen and nitrogen are synthesized in a reactor using liquid alloy as a catalyst to synthesize ammonia under normal pressure, and molten salt is used in the reaction. The density of the molten salt is lower than that of the liquid alloy, and the molten salt is used to provide a reaction interface and to isolate Liquid alloys avoid the introduction of impurities into the reaction environment. In the present invention, the first metal reacts with nitrogen to produce metal nitrides, and the molten salt can provide a new reaction interface for the reaction of metal nitrides and hydrogen to synthesize ammonia, so that the metal nitrides can continuously generate ammonia, and effectively catalyze the reaction rate and ammonia. In addition, the molten salt can prevent the liquid alloy from contacting with oxygen and water vapor in the outside atmosphere, thereby preventing the liquid alloy from being oxidized, thereby prolonging the service life of the liquid alloy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for synthesizing ammonia, in particular to a method for catalytically synthesizing ammonia under normal pressure. Background technique [0002] Ammonia (NH 3 ) is an important chemical raw material, which occupies an important position in the national economy, and about 80% of ammonia is used to produce chemical fertilizers, and 20% is the raw material for other chemical products. Ammonia is mainly used in the preparation of nitrogen fertilizers, ammonium salts, nitric acid, cyanide, etc. In addition, ammonia is also an important hydrogen storage material. The mass fraction of hydrogen in ammonia is as high as 18%, and at room temperature (300K, 27°C), the saturated vapor pressure of ammonia is as low as about 10 atmospheres. Therefore, ammonia is easier to liquefy, store and transport than hydrogen. Therefore, ammonia has the potential to become an important material for energy storage and application, and will pla...
