Ammonia is one of the most important bulk chemicals. In particular, through its use in the production of fertilizers it plays no small part in feeding the earth’s population, which has increased more than fourfold since industrial production of ammonia via the Haber-Bosch process has become possible. Environmentally friendly production…
