Ammonia Manufacturing & Process Troubleshooting
Course Description
Ammonia is one of the most important inorganic basic chemicals, not only for the manufacture of fertilizers (85%) but also for the production of plastics, fibers, explosives, and intermediates for dyes and pharmaceuticals. It is an essential reaction component for the synthesis of numerous organic chemicals used as solvents and intermediates.

This course provides an up-to-date overview of the product properties, synthesis and reaction mechanisms, including catalysis and commercial catalysts, modern production technology for different feedstock’s, quality specifications and environmental health and safety aspects, uses and economic data of this important commodity chemical. The course also presents the perspectives of future developments of commercial ammonia production. Chemical engineers, process engineers and chemists in industry, engineering companies, catalyst manufacturers, equipment makers and chemical engineering university departments will certainly profit from this course

  • Describe the synthesis reaction and physical properties of ammonia
