Ammonia (NH3) holds significant potential for contributing to the energy landscape of a future society that prioritizes low-carbon and sustainable practices. It is particularly valuable due to its ability to be generated from renewable sources or through the utilization of hydrocarbons with carbon capture. Nevertheless, there are noteworthy safety concerns, particularly regarding its toxicity, that must be addressed before it can be widely adopted.
You are most probably aware that 90+% of hydrogen produced to-day is grey hydrogen and that a large fraction of this goes into agricultural products to make ammonia. A critical reason for turning the energy expensively produced ammonia is that green hydrogen can be made and turned ultimately into ammonia, shipped under controlled conditions as ammonia and then split (which process are you thinking of for splitting?). My major concern is that under the wrong conditions, NH3 can produce NOx but it needs an oxygen supply, e.g. as exists by burning in air in an off-tune IC engine. Stephen
I would like to develop a model for calculating hydrogen potential from ammonia.
If I understand you correctly, do you want to know the reaction parameters for converting NH3 into H2, how catalysts affect it, or simply that 17 kgm NH3 makes 3 kg H2? Stephen
No catalysts., Assuming that you have 4000mg/l of ammonia. What is the calculation you do to get the amount of hydrogen out of this value of ammonia? I mean the process.
