This study investigates the production of NTP-assisted catalytic ammonia at milder temperatures and ambient pressure. Experimental results show that the 10Ni/zeolite 13X sample exhibits the best catalytic activity (about 4 mmol h(-1) NH3 production) with the lowest energy consumption, highlighting the feasibility of this innovative technology in this field.
Ammonia has been intensively studied as a clean, sustainable fuel source and an efficient energy storage medium due to its effectiveness as a hydrogen carrier molecule. However, the currently used Haber-Bosch process requires a large fossil fuel input, high temperatures and pressures, as well as a significant capital investment. These constraints prevent decentralized and small-scale ammonia production at the level of small farms and local communities. Non-thermal plasma (NTP) can promote ammonia synthesis in operating conditions in which, in a conventional process, a catalyst is generally not active. In this study, the production of NTP-assisted catalytic ammonia at milder temperatures and ambient pressure was investigated. Four different structured catalysts were prepared and tested using an experimental plant based on a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor. The effect of the gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) was investigated, as well as the effect of the N-2/H-2 ratio on catalyst performance. The results evidenced that the best catalytic activity (about 4 mmol h(-1) of produced NH3) was obtained using the 10Ni/zeolite 13X sample with the lowest energy consumption, thus highlighting the feasibility of this innovative technology in this field.
