Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Ammonia production from coal via the integration of two production processes: hydrogen production from coal via gasification and ammonia synthesis In this process, coal is used as feedstock in a gasification process to produce synthesis gas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen). The synthesis gas is then subjected to a water-gas shift reaction, in which its carbon monoxide content is converted into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The outlet from the shift reactors undergoes further purification steps for the recovery of hydrogen. Then, hydrogen is mixed with nitrogen, produced by an air separation unit, and the mixture is fed to the ammonia synthesis plant, in which they both react producing Ammonia.
