Current status and development trends of synthetic ammonia process technology
The development and basic status of synthetic ammonia technology are summarized in this review,as well as the academic frontier research direction and typical techniques employed in industrial production,including the technical qualities and economy.The advantages and disadvantages of the traditional thermal catalytic method,plasma method,photocatalytic method,electrocatalytic method,catalysts and their industrial application value are compared.At present,the industry still mainly adopts the traditional thermal catalytic method.The development of a new type of high-efficiency,energy-saving and environment-friendly catalysts is research hotspot of ammonia synthesis technology.The substitution of green ammonia for grey ammonia production is still in the exploratory and initial stage,and the transformation and development of green ammonia is the development direction of the synthetic ammonia industry.Realizing the green economic route of hydrogen ammonia combination is of great significance for ensuring energy,environmental protection and safety.
