Ammonification device and method using plasma discharging in water

Abstract

An apparatus for producing ammonia using electric discharge of water according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plasma decomposition reaction part configured to produce hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) from water by supplying the water to plasma generated by using nitrogen gas (N2) as electric discharge gas and produce nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by allowing oxygen (O2) to react with nitrogen (N2), a thermal decomposition reaction part connected to a lower side of the plasma decomposition reaction part and configured to produce solid carbon and hydrogen (H2) by decomposing water and hydrocarbon by further supplying hydrocarbon or hydrogen to an additional supply port, and a synthetic catalyst part connected to the thermal decomposition reaction part and configured to produce ammonia (NH3) by synthesizing hydrogen (H2) and nitrogen monoxide (NO) separated from water.
