Conditions for the catalytic oxidation of ammonia
Thread Content
Guys, does anyone know what the conditions are for the catalytic oxidation of ammonia (NH3)?
Catalyst: Fe (catalyst); Temperature: 500 degrees Celsius; Pressure: 200–500 Pascals. It is an exothermic reaction; 500 degrees Celsius is the temperature at which Fe exhibits catalytic activity. Although this temperature affects the degree of completion of the reaction, the reactants can be reused, resulting in a high overall conversion rate. Hence, a high-temperature reaction is utilized
Bro, I’m impressed by you – it’s even in high school textbooks! What was said upstairs is incorrect; those are the conditions for producing synthetic ammonia!
The question is not clearly stated. Luo was asking about the conditions for the catalytic oxidation of ammonia in nitric acid production: catalyst – platinum mesh; temperature – 780–900 degrees (the reaction temperature varies depending on the pressure; higher pressure results in a higher reaction temperature)
