Abstract
A method of producing ammonia is provided. The method includes steps of oxidizing N2 gas in a plasma discharge reactor to form NOx where x is 1 or 2 and hydrogenating NOx in the presence of H2 on a catalyst to form ammonia. The method may also include steps of providing a plasma discharge reactor with a fixed or fluidized catalyst bed, introducing N2 gas, an oxidizing agent, and H2 gas into the plasma discharge reactor to produce ammonia, and collecting the ammonia produced.
