Chemical Industry Flashcards
Antoine Lavoisier referred to this gas
as “Mephitic Air” or “No life” due to
its aphyxiant properties.
Sulphur
A Scottish Physician who discovered
Nitrogen in 1772
Daniel Rutherford
A very significant nitrogen fertilizer
because of its high nitrogen content
(33-35%).
Ammonium Nitrate
This is the principal approach in
producing ammonia
Haber-Bosch Process
He devised the ingenious method of
melting sulfur underground or under
the sea and then pumping it up to
the surface.
Herman Frasch
Used because of its strong and
cheaply priced inorganic acid. It is
employed in the manufacture of
fertilizers, leather, and tin plate.
Sulfuric Acid
Used for sulfonation, especially in
the manufacture of detergents.
Sulfur Trioxide
The primary raw materials for
hydrochloric acid productions
Chlorine gas and Hydrogen gas
Chemical element that exists as
strong smelling, deep red liquid that
changes easily into a gas.
Bromine
Synthetically produced aluminum
oxide, a white or nearly colorless
crystalline substance that is used as
a starting material for smelting
metal.
Alumina
Emission from new sulfuric acid
plant limitations.
2kg of Sulfur Dioxide and 75g of
acid mist per ton of acid made
A process of producing ammonium
nitrate in which ammonia fumes
combine with nitric acid at
temperature ranging from 160 to
300 C.
Stengel Process
The sole intended proceed of this
method is Hydrochloric Acid (HCl).
The direct reaction between
hydrogen and chlorine gasses yields
HCl.
Direct Synthesis
Most convenient type of fixed
nitrogen. Has the most nitrogen
available in a solid fertilizer.
Urea
Well-known and commonly used
technology for producing urea
fertilizers, which is important
nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture.
Stamicarbon Urea Stripping
Process
