A production system for an organic compound or a microorganism includes: an ammonia synthesis apparatus in which an ammonia-containing gas is synthesized by reaction of a source gas containing hydrogen and nitrogen in the presence of a supported ruthenium catalyst; and a culture apparatus that cultures a microorganism having organic compound productivity using ammonia originating from the ammonia-containing gas obtained by using the ammonia synthesis apparatus.

The invention relates to a method for producing iron-containing shaped catalyst bodies by means of 3D printing technology and to iron-containing shaped catalyst bodies that are obtainable by this method and to their use as catalysts in the ammonia synthesis or the Fischer-Tropsch reaction.

A dual pressure process for the synthesis of ammonia from a make-up gas, wherein the make-up gas is reacted in two steps in series, the second step operating at a greater pressure than the first step, and wherein a portion of the effluent of the first step is recycled back to the first step, said portion containing unreacted make-up gas.

A process for the co-production of methanol and ammonia is described comprising the steps of: (a) forming a first synthesis gas stream by reacting a first portion of a hydrocarbon feedstock and steam in a steam reformer, (b) forming a second synthesis gas stream in parallel to the first synthesis gas stream by reacting a second portion of the hydrocarbon feedstock with an oxygen-containing gas and steam in an autothermal reformer, (c) synthesising methanol from a first process gas comprising the first synthesis gas stream, and (d) synthesising ammonia from a second process gas prepared from the second synthesis gas stream, wherein a purge stream containing hydrogen is recovered from the methanol synthesis step (c) and a portion of the purge gas stream is fed to the autothermal reformer and/or the second synthesis gas in step (b).

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for improving production of an aquaculture pond farm. The systems generally include an electrolyzer module to produce hydrogen and oxygen, an ammonia synthesizer operable to receive hydrogen produced by the electrolyzer module, and a diffuser to diffuse oxygen produced by the electrolyzer module in the aquaculture pond farm.

A method for preparing an iron-based catalyst, the method including preparing iron ore particles by grinding iron ore; and impregnating the iron ore particles with a first metal and second metal, wherein the first metal is selected from copper, cobalt, or manganese, or a combination thereof, and the second metal is selected from an alkali metal or alkali earth metal, or a combination thereof.

In a process for co-production of ammonia and methanol, the outlet stream from the reformer is split into two parts, one of which is subjected to shift, carbon dioxide removal, methanation, compression and ammonia synthesis, while the other part is compressed and fed to a once-through methanol synthesis section. Methanol is withdrawn from the methanol synthesis section, and the remaining effluent from said section is divided into two streams comprising hydrogen, of which one is fed to the shift section, while the other is recycled to the desulfurization unit. This way a favourable co-production method is obtained because recycle hydrogen for the desulfurization is provided, and furthermore a compression step is avoided.

A method for the control of nitrogen oxides content in the combustion fumes of a thermal power plant is disclosed; the method comprises the on-site production of ammonia by the steps of: electrolysis of water as a source of hydrogen; separation of air as a source of nitrogen, formation of a make-up gas and synthesis of ammonia in a suitable synthesis loop; said on-site produced ammonia, or a solution thereof, is used for a process of reduction of nitrogen oxides in the combustion fumes.
