The temperature chosen is a compromise between yield and rate. Using a catalyst in the Haber process means that a lower temperature can be used whilst keeping the rate of reaction high.

Taking a well-to-wake approach to CO2 emissions means that the shipping industry will look beyond emerging engine ...

Ammonia (NH 3) is traditionally produced through the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process which converts nitrogen (N 2) and hydrogen (H 2) into NH 3 at high temperatures (400–500℃) and pressures ...

Ammonia production via the Haber-Bosch process is the chemical industry’s greatest source of greenhouse gas emissions and ...

NH3 is one of the most important chemicals in today's world, as it is used in the production of fertilizers to boost agricultural yields and sustain the ever-growing global population. For over 100 ...

Nearly all ammonia is produced using methane via the Haber-Bosch process, which requires high-temperature and high-pressure ...

Haber on the A award of the Nobel Prize at Stockholm ... soon made it clear that the basis of an important technical process could be found in ammonia synthesis, and further work was undertaken ...

However, the rate of reaction is low at low temperatures. So, as in the Haber process, a compromise temperature of 450 °C is chosen. If the pressure is increased, the equilibrium position moves ...
