Abstract :
A double dielectric barrier coaxial reactor has been used to synthesize ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen using argon as a carrier gas. This process has the advantage over the regular Haber process of not requiring very high pressures to carry out the reaction and being scalable to small production, attractive for self-consumption on a small agricultural operation.
