The Haber-Bosch process produces ample amounts of #ammonia (NH3)—a valuable chemical compound that has a wide array of uses in fields such as agriculture, technology, and pharmaceuticals—while consuming a lot of #energy. ... A research team at #Tohoku University has made a significant contribution to an alternate method for converting harmful #nitrate #pollutants in #water into ammonia, addressing both environmental and energy challenges.... By utilizing NiCuFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) #catalysts, the study provides an efficient method for cleaning contaminated water. This means cleaner water, reduced pollution, and more sustainable fertilizer and energy resources, which are directly beneficial to public #health, #food security, and #climate protection."
