Industrial conditions and feedstocks for the Haber process

Using resources • The Haber process and fertilisers

Key concepts

What you'll likely be quizzed about

  • The Haber process combines nitrogen (N₂) from the air and hydrogen (H₂) derived from natural gas or electrolysis.
  • This reaction occurs under high pressure and temperature, typically around 200 atmospheres and 450°C.
  • The balance between the reactants and the conditions significantly affects the yield of ammonia (NH₃).
