This process lasted about two hours, when the gas was realized, passed into the water, and then reacted through the guò, and calculated the proportion of synthetic ammonia, the final result was gratifying, and the ammonia was finally successfully synthesized, the amount was not large, accounting for less than one-seventh of the total proportion of the gas.

This is a little worse than what was expected, and according to the proportion, it should be about 15, but it is gratifying to have such an result.

"This real yàn, it seems to be a success, and next, it is up to you to realize this industrial production!" Yang Yuanzhao said calmly: "If you succeed, each person will get a reward of more than 5,000 US dollars!" ”

The reward is very high, but after going to the cold field, after a long time, Ricks said: "Mr. Yang, if it is to do practical yàn, or other small research, we have no problem, and even give us a set of equipment to let us design and produce, no problem, but we can't do this from the real room to the industrial transformation!" ”

"Can't do it!" It seemed to be a basin of cold water, all of a sudden from Yang Yuanzhao's head, directly poured down, he didn't expect that he had designed the whole process, and the real yàn was also successful, but in the industrialization, it was stuck, the real yàn room production, and industrialization, can not be said to be two different things, but if this conversion is not completed, it is difficult to do, the ammonia factory and the future fertilizer plant, both need to use the small batch method of the real yàn room.

Give up, or start anew, Yang Yuanzhao couldn't cry or laugh, Chris They didn't take care of everything, and directly said their concerns and abilities, which more or less made him sigh that he couldn't solve the actual problem.

"By the way, Smith's real room, what he is best at, is the transformation and industrialization of the real room, and the real room they set up in Shanghai this time is also to complete the industrialization process of vulcanized rubber, otherwise, try them!"

Chris's words made Yang Yuanzhao's eyes light up, and then there was a very complicated expression, Chris was right, Smith's room, whether it was the level of research or the depth of research, was much stronger than the new stove here, even if Smith did not send the most capable force over, the force left in Shanghai was quite strong, and some difficult problems could even be directly asked to the headquarters.

The reason for Yang Yuanzhao's hesitation is still in the issue of leakage, how powerful is the technology of synthetic ammonia, looking at Germany under the blockade of Britain, completed 3500 tons of nitric acid, it can be seen that it dared to launch a World War I, after World War I, nitric acid was produced in large quantities, and by the time of World War II, the delivery of weapons and firepower had risen by several orders of magnitude compared with World War I. to be able to produce explosives in sufficient quantities.

However, these do not seem to have much to do with him and Baotou, the discovery of synthetic ammonia, is the result of the Germans, after this was exposed, the whole world has invested in research, knowing the general situation, soon made a breakthrough, it can be said that the technology is not difficult at all, sooner or later it will be exposed, first exposed, then leaked, it doesn't matter.

"Xiao Han, send a telegram to Shanghai, and ask Smith's real yàn room to help solve this problem, and by the way, record the real yàn number!"

"Yes!"

Letting go of the biggest concern, Yang Yuanzhao relaxed a lot, Germany attaches great importance to synthetic ammonia, I am afraid that it must be above, because of the blockade of the British, Germany only has a port to go to sea in Hamburg, and the British fleet, and the strongest in the world, it is easy to blockade the North Sea, once the war breaks out, it is almost impossible for Germany to obtain a stable source of external sources, especially for strategic materials such as saltpeter.

The things sorted out were sent to the Smith room in Shanghai, and now the person in charge of the Shanghai room is Roger, who is one of the few people who has the qualifications of an associate professor, and is also the person in charge of the Shanghai room, is Smith's trusted assistant, and is also very accomplished in chemistry.

After receiving the telegram from Baotou, his first reaction was distrust, it seemed simple, put nitrogen and hydrogen together, if chemistry is such a simple mixture, how can it be called chemistry.

However, Baotou's words poked and poked, and there were even some real records, such a rigorous method, more or less convinced him, and along with the telegram, there were several metal cans provided by the German and American companies, which could be used for real production in the room.

Nothing is as good as coming in person, coming correctly, left and right, these don't take much effort, most of the real equipment is also ready, Roger thought about it, or organized people, and tried.

Because the results of Baotou's real yàn have come out before, this is just a verification, so there is no choice to use the laborious method of collecting nitrogen in the air, and directly select, through the conditions of the real yàn to apply the chemical reaction. Relatively pure nitrogen and hydrogen are collected.

The process of ammonia synthesis is not very difficult. Now the key point is only a pressure, and there is also the issue of the purity of the raw materials. This is for Shanghai now. Not a very difficult thing to do.

Shanghai Demei Shi yàn room. The chemical laboratory has long been put into use. I have most of the equipment. At night, the researchers were nervously busy in the real room, all kinds of raw materials were prepared, the pressure was ready, and only the final reaction process remained.

Roger personally stared at it, there were three researchers who were familiar with nitric acid, and they worked together to do this realization, to say that only the final reaction process remained, if it succeeded, it would be a huge achievement, but for Roger, it was not a thing to be proud of. All the qiē is the method given by Baotou, even pure nitrogen, and some hydrogen. Mix it according to a certain proportion, and this proportion is also copied in full, and finally add iron that must be pure, and this is what he can't understand the most. Under high temperature and high pressure, the mixing process is completed automatically, and how much role does iron have? This is for him. It has always been a puzzled question. Maybe we can get the final answer after the end of the real yàn.

A large number of equipment measurements. It's basically done. Nitrogen and hydrogen. It's all been mixed in the mixing hall. The air pressure has been added. It is still the water pressure that is used. This kind of pressure is relatively easy to control, and the amount of water will produce as much pressure as possible. Internally, there is also a monthly reaction. It will allow the temperature of this tank to reach 500°C. There is no way to control this, and it can only be estimated according to the actual reality.

Fortunately, the people present are all chemical professionals, and they are very familiar with many fields of chemical industry. Preparations were successfully completed. Temperatures are starting to rise. Where you can't see within the quick reaction. All kinds of gases are mixing. They follow the realization. The foundation completes this process of synthesis. Wait for those two hours as well. Finally, the whole thing is done. According to certain rules, the part of the gas that is not synthesized in the synthesis process is removed.

It was recommended that a small amount of gas be extracted for the determination. The first is the nitrogen that reacts partially. Then there's some hydrogen, and after removing the two, the little gas that's left eventually smells like something special.

Most of the real yàn members. Already sure. This time the real yàn room succeeded. Scientific rigor. They still completed the final measurement themselves, and when the final results finally came out. It's about 13 percent ammonia, a figure that is even a little higher than that in Baotou, and maybe that's the result of pure nitrogen.

It's so easy, just take advantage of the elements that are unique to the air. Although hydrogen is not a common element in the air, hydrogen is obtained. It's not too ugly. Direct electrolysis of water is fine. Oxygen is partially produced. Can be used as a by-product. provided to medical and other aspects.

The real yàn is completely successful, and the project of synthetic ammonia is basically established. Roger finally understood what he had done. What kind of prospects will there be. Now ammonia is synthesized in the air. Reduced reliance on saltpeter. You don't have to make such a stinky dump. The cost will certainly not be very far, certainly not so far that it is unimaginably low. The days of future fertilizer price reductions. It should not be too late.

Roger is just a chemist. But for the understanding of fertilizers. More than many know the important role of chemical fertilizers in agriculture. I also know that synthetic ammonia is used as a raw material to make nitric acid. A huge advantage as a raw material province. When and after the adult technique is done. He wrote a detailed investigative report. It was handed over to Smith, and after doing this qiē, he chose to start the research of industrialization.

Smith real room, for industrialization, there is already a whole set of perfect methods, to be honest, this synthetic ammonia is not complicated, the production of nitrogen, according to what they say, extracted from the air, they will make this process easier, this is the control of various reaction tanks, for chemical separation, the Smith real yàn room, which is very familiar with chemical separation, can even use the ready-made reaction separation tower, to do this qiē, in addition to this, is the reaction tank, 500 degrees of temperature, The pressure of 50 atmospheres is not easy to achieve outside the real room, which is also the most difficult problem in this industrialization process.

To solve this problem, Roger already has a preliminary idea, but he needs to do a series of practical yàn, which should be able to be solved.

In this way, in less than a week, Roger completed an overall design for the industrialization of synthetic ammonia, sent the necessary conditions and equipment to Baotou one by one, as if completing a small thing, solved this problem, and then, let go of this, began his own work, on the research of vulcanized rubber, he did not know at all, such a solution, in the future, what kind of height will it reach.
