In 2018, high oil prices resulted in an extended summer shutdown of European ammonia factories causing a commercial CO 2 shortage, thus limiting production of CO 2-based products such as beer and soft drinks. [32] This situation repeated in September 2021 due to a 250-400% increase in the wholesale price of natural gas over the course of the year.
As of 2018, the Haber process produces 230 million tonnes of anhydrous ammonia per year. [65] The ammonia is used mainly as a nitrogen fertilizer as ammonia itself, in the form of ammonium nitrate, and as urea. The Haber process consumes 3–5% of the world's natural gas production (around 1–2% of the world's energy supply).
As of 2020, the most expensive non- synthetic element by both mass and volume is rhodium. It is followed by caesium, iridium and palladium by mass and iridium, gold and platinum by volume. Carbon in the form of diamond can be more expensive than rhodium. Per-kilogram prices of some synthetic radioisotopes range to trillions of dollars.
At 15.6 °C (60.1 °F), the density of a saturated solution is 0.88 g/ml and contains 35.6% ammonia by mass, 308 grams of ammonia per litre of solution, and has a molarity of approximately 18 mol/L. At higher temperatures, the molarity of the saturated solution decreases and the density increases. [ 8 ]
Aluminum can prices vary by region and are based on weight. The average recycling value per pound of cans in the U.S. is currently $0.56. How many aluminum cans are in a pound?
Anhydrous ammonia is classified as toxic (T) and dangerous for the environment (N). The gas is flammable ( autoignition temperature : 651 °C) and can form explosive mixtures with air (16–25%). The permissible exposure limit (PEL) in the United States is 50 ppm (35 mg/m 3 ), while the IDLH concentration is estimated at 300 ppm.
Prices reached a low of around (2006 US) $17/Mcm in the late 1940s, when more than 20 percent of the natural gas being withdrawn from U.S. reserves was vented or flared. Beginning in 1954, the Federal Power Commission regulated the price of US natural gas transported across state lines.
Compressed hydrogen is a storage form whereby hydrogen gas is kept under pressures to increase the storage density. Compressed hydrogen in hydrogen tanks at 350 bar (5,000 psi) and 700 bar (10,000 psi) are used for hydrogen tank systems in vehicles, based on type IV carbon-composite technology. [ 2]
