  • Publication number: 20230093108
    Abstract: Method and systems for desorbing NH3 from an NH3-adsorbent material by exposing the adsorbent material to microwave radiation are described. Also described are methods for increasing an NH3 cracker's NH3 utilization and reducing the chance of downstream process contamination. Also described are methods of producing high pressure, high purity H2 from NH3.

  • Publication number: 20210047194
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the removal of ammonia from an ammonia reactor product stream. Systems and methods of the present invention enable ammonia to be synthesized and removed using a broader range of process conditions than are possible with current industrial practices. In particular, the systems and methods enable the use of higher temperatures, lower pressures, and higher reactant flows.
