Abstract
A method is described for producing ammonia. A catalyst is produced by heating a mixture of carbon and magnesium above the melting point of magnesium in an inert atmosphere. The melt thereby produced is cooled and pulverized. Exposing the catalyst thereby produced to humid air results in production of ammonia. The addition of aluminum or zirconium to the mixture enhances the productivity of the catalyst.
