How is ammonia utilized after it is produced?
Thread Content
Today, there is a significant amount of coal-based synthetic ammonia production, and many synthetic ammonia manufacturers are also using coal as a substitute for natural gas and oil. And markets for urea and similar products are already saturated; what else can the ammonia produced be used for? What about the traditional nitric acid and urea industries?
In the past, ammonia synthesis always meant the production of urea; now, melamine is also available, and liquid ammonia can be sold as well. . . Urea is already saturated and its price is not high; as it requires a lot of energy, many companies have begun to shift to alternative options.
Synthetic ammonia is still widely used in industries such as fertilizers. The use of coal-based synthetic ammonia to replace oil-based and natural gas-based alternatives is merely a market-driven approach regarding raw material sources. Therefore, even if there is an oversupply in the synthetic ammonia market, market competition will gradually drive oil-based and natural gas-based alternatives out of the market. So there’s no need to worry; the market will ultimately ensure survival of the fittest.
Ammonia is just a raw material. There are many alternative routes, such as: ammonia--nitric acid--*ao acid an--nitro compound fertilizer ； Or: ammonia-urea-melamine ；
