Ammonia synthesis gas is produced from natural gas by___________________?
Correct answer: A. Steam reforming
- A. Steam reforming
- B. Thermal cracking
- C. Partial oxidation
- D. Hydrogenation
Explanation
Natural gas, mainly methane, reacts with steam over a catalyst to form hydrogen and carbon monoxide, followed by shift conversion to increase hydrogen. This is the standard steam-reforming route to ammonia synthesis gas.
