What are Some Examples of High-Pressure Catalytic Processes?
1. Haber Process: Used for ammonia synthesis from nitrogen and hydrogen, typically carried out at pressures ranging from 150 to 300 atmospheres. 2. Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis: Converts carbon monoxide and hydrogen into hydrocarbons and is conducted under pressures of 10 to 50 atmospheres. 3. Methanol Synthesis: Involves the production of methanol from carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen at pressures of 50 to 100 atmospheres.
