Abstract

Systems and methods for producing ammonia and/or ammonia products. The ammonia and/or ammonia products can be produced by compressing a gas mixture comprising nitrogen, hydrogen, methane, and argon to produce a compressed gas mixture having a pressure of from about 1,000 kPa (130 psig) to about 10,400 kPa (1,495 psig). All or a portion of the compressed gas mixture can be selectively separated at cryogenic conditions to produce a first gas comprising nitrogen and hydrogen, and a second gas comprising methane, argon, residual hydrogen and nitrogen. At least a portion of the first gas can be reacted at conditions sufficient to produce an ammonia product.
