ammonia production process, and ammonia generation system.

摘要

the invention relates to a process and system for the electrolytic production of ammonia. the process comprises feeding nitrogen to an electrolytic cell, where it comes in contact with a cathode electrode surface, wherein said surface has a catalyst surface comprising at least one transition metal oxide, the electrolytic cell additionally comprising a donor of protons, and pass a current through said electrolytic cell, through which nitrogen reacts with protons to form ammonia. the process and system of the invention uses an electrochemical cell with a cathode surface with a catalytic surface that is preferably charged with one or more of rhenium oxide, tantalum oxide and niobium oxide.
