Where can ammonia be found?
Ammonia has been found in air, soil, and water samples at hazardous waste sites. In the air near hazardous waste sites, ammonia can be found as a gas. Ammonia can also be found dissolved in ponds or other bodies of water at a waste site. Ammonia can be found attached to soil particles at hazardous waste sites.

How do you get ammonia?
In the environment, ammonia is part of the nitrogen cycle and is produced in soil from bacterial processes. Ammonia is also produced naturally from decomposition of organic matter, including plants, animals and animal wastes.
How can I make ammonia?
CO + 3 H2 → CH4 + H2O. To produce the desired end-product ammonia, the hydrogen is then catalytically reacted with nitrogen (derived from process air) to form anhydrous liquid ammonia. This step is known as the ammonia synthesis loop (also referred to as the Haber-Bosch process): 3 H2 + N2 → 2 NH.
Where does ammonia come from?
What is a household ammonia?
household ammonia in British English (ˈhaʊsˌhəʊld əˈməʊnɪə) noun. a dilute solution of ammonia in water for use in household cleaning. Collins English Dictionary. Copyright © HarperCollins Publishers.
How do you produce more ammonia?
Due to the Haber process being a reversible reaction, the yield of ammonia can be changed by changing the pressure or temperature of the reaction. Increasing the pressure of the reaction increases the yield of ammonia.
Can you make ammonia from water?
Water and air are all you need to make ammonia—one of world’s most important chemicals. Researchers have developed a method to produce ammonia simply from air and water. Not only is it more energy efficient than the century-old Haber-Bosch process currently in use all over the world, but it is also greener.
