Highly efficient catalysts for ammonia synthesis AмоMах by Süd-Chemie company
Abstract
The catalyst for ammonia synthesis Süd-Chemie AmoMax increasing demand from consumers and, therefore, constantly improving, as a key product of the company. The authors discuss the performance of the catalyst for ammonia synthesis AmoMax®-10 based in the wustite, which works much better than conventional ammonia synthesis catalysts based on magnetite. Given the geography of demand for a catalyst – for eight years, about 70 customers from around the world use the catalyst in ammonia synthesis plants of high capacity.
