Which gas is produced via the 'Haber Process'?
Haber process more labor-intensive than the Haber process. The Haber process now produces 450 million tonnes of nitrogen fertilizer per year, mostly in the form of anhydrous ammonia, ammonium nitrate, and urea. Three to five percent of the world's natural gas production is consumed in the Haber process (around 1–2% of the world's energy supply). In combination with pesticides, these fertilizers have quadrupled the productivity of agricultural land: Due to its dramatic impact on the human ability to grow food, the Haber process served as the "detonator of the population explosion", enabling the global population to increase from 1.6 billion in 1900
History of the Haber process Hydro's facilities were producing 12,000 tonnes of nitrogen, about 5 percent of the volume extracted from coke at the time. Similar processes were developed at the time. Schönherr, an employee of BASF, worked on a nitrogen fixation process beginning in 1905. In 1919, Schönherr's Badische process was employed at Norsk Hydro facilities. That same year, the Pauling process was used in Germany and the United States. All these methods were quickly supplanted by the less-expensive Haber process. In 1905, German chemist Fritz Haber published "Thermodynamik technischer Gasreaktionen" ("The Thermodynamics of Technical Gas Reactions"), a book more concerned about the industrial
