NITROGEN FIXATION
The nitrogen molecule (N2) triple bond (N≡N) requires ~ 945 kJ/mol to break. This makes N2 fixation is difficult and why the reaction energy for NH3 synthesis averages 950 kJ/mol. The Haber-Bosch process, which uses Fe-based catalysts, is a key example of how this bond is broken. The ability of a (nano)catalyst to transfer electrons to the N2 molecule and weaken the N≡N bond determines how readily the bond can be broken. The N2 activation process is crucial for NH3 production.
OUR OFFER
we offer a next-generation ultra-high surface area quantum nanocatalysts for low temperature nitrogen fixation, an increased NH3 production rate and high gas yield.
Our high surface area quantum nanocatalysts help :
Lower the NH3 synthesis temperature which saves energy costs
Enhance the production rate of NH3 to improve process efficiency and
Increase NH3 gas yield for better productivity.
This is because the surface area of a (nano)catalyst determines the number of active sites available for N2 activation. The higher the surface area of a (nano)catalyst, the more active sites there are for more N2 molecules to interact and undergo the reduction process.
PERFORMANCE
Conventional iron (Fe) catalysts used in NH3 production have surface areas ranging from 3 to 30 𝑚2/𝑔.
NANOARC's quantum catalysts have surface areas well above 49.55 𝑚2/𝑔
The activation energy to break the N≡N bond without a catalyst is 945 kJ/mol.
With conventional catalysts, the activation energy averages 460 kJ/mol.
With NANOARC's quantum nanocatalysts, the activation energy averages 20 - 35 kJ/mol.
The activation energy to decompose NH3 without a catalyst is 96 kJ/mol.
The activation energy to decompose NH3 with a conventional Fe catalyst is 87 kJ/mol
The activation energy with NANOARC's quantum catalyst is < 35 kJ/mol
