Abstract
The techniques described herein relate to methods for the synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen, the methods including use of plasma, such as a microjet plasma, in a first reaction chamber to generate a vibrationally exited nitrogen atom or nitrogen containing molecule, optionally wherein the excited nitrogen atom or molecule is reacted with hydrogen in an aqueous medium, optionally wherein the medium is then recycled to remove soluble products. A system for carrying out such methods is also provided.

A method for synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen, the method comprising use of plasma, such as a microjet plasma, in a first reaction chamber to generate a vibrationally excited nitrogen atom or nitrogen containing molecule, optionally wherein the vibrationally excited nitrogen atom or molecule is reacted with hydrogen in an aqueous medium, optionally wherein the aqueous medium is then recycled to remove soluble products.
A system for synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen, the system comprising:
- a first reaction chamber in which plasma is used to generate a vibrationally exited nitrogen atom or nitrogen containing molecule;
- and a second reaction chamber which is a two celled electrolytic reactor comprising an anolyte cell having an anode and a catholyte cell having a cathode, wherein excited gas from the first reaction chamber is injected into the anolyte cell.
