Improving the efficiency and reducing the carbon emissions output of the Haber process is long-awaited, and a new piece of research published on phys.org from the Institute of Science in Tokyo does just that!
Enhance your students’ understanding and appreciation of this important aspect of chemical engineering and research by teaching them about this modern breakthrough using enhanced catalysts alongside the Haber Process on the specification.
Not only does this show the relevance of the process today and how science doesn’t stand still but is constantly researching and innovating, but it also links to ideas about catalysts, surface area, electron donation and half equations, bond energies, temperature and rate, and the greenhouse effect and global warming. This offers a great opportunity for building synoptic links across many aspects of the Chemistry curriculum and discussing ideas about science and how science works.
