METHOD FOR CONVERTING NITROGEN (N2) INTO AMMONIA AND/OR NITRATE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for converting nitrogen (N₂) into nitrate and/or ammonia comprising the steps of compressing air and separating nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂) therefrom, and either reacting earth alkaline metal with oxygen to produce earth alkaline metal oxide, using the high temperatures obtained to react N₂ and O₂ to NO, converting the NO with O₂ to NO₂, followed by the reaction of NO₂ with water to result in HNO₃ and NO; or reacting the nitrogen obtained with earth alkaline metal to produce earth alkaline metal nitride and reacting thereof with water to result in earth alkaline metal hydroxide and ammonia.
