Direct synthesis of ammonia gas (Serpek Process)

We directly prepare ammonia gas from "air and water" by using magnesium metal! Enjoy!

    Great, now i have another reason to go buy another 5kg of magnesium. I already have 15kg of ingots sitting there, this is just getting ridiculous up to this point, atleast ill always have a good reducing agent on hand. Also does this mean that lithium isn't the only metal that can react directly with nitrogen.

    Strontium will react with nitrogen as well, resulting in strontium nitride.

    You can hoard urine for ammonia as i do.

    I believe the Serpek process was used commercially for a time during the 20th Century using Bauxite, but the Haber-Bosch process proved to be more efficient once they met the challenge of dealing with the very high pressures required.

    Yeah, it's not worth it to "purify" the air used in the reaction (to remove the Oxygen), since it's just easier to use EXCESS magnesium to take up the oxygen. The only remaining question of practicality is the recyclability of the magnesium (since magnesium is not cheap & it is finite): *COULD Mg(OH) be recycled back to Mg? COULD MgO be recycled back to Mg?* Besides the above it is VERY interesting to see Ammonia created WITHOUT the need to purify N2, WITHOUT the need to obtain H2, and WITHOUT the need for expensive compressors & other machines.

    Melt the salt "very high temps" Stick in 2 electrodes You get the metal on the anode I guess And depending on the salt what you get on the cathode You can find some videos on making sodium metal by electrolysis since it doesnt have a very high melting point And cody did make aluminum metal from aluminum oxide using electrolysis

    You don’t necessarily have to be present for the synthesis, but that may be dangerous. Maybe you should find something to do in the interim.
