Iron (FA)

Iron (Fe) – The Main Catalyst for Ammonia Synthesis

At B.F.S, we are proud to supply high-quality Iron (Fe) catalysts, the essential material at the heart of ammonia synthesis. As a trusted name in the chemical supply industry, we understand the critical role iron plays in enabling efficient, large-scale production of ammonia—especially through the Haber-Bosch process.

Why Iron?

Iron, in its promoted form (often with potassium, aluminum, and calcium oxides), is the main industrial catalyst used in ammonia synthesis. Its ability to facilitate the combination of nitrogen and hydrogen gases under high pressure and temperature makes it irreplaceable in this process.

Key advantages include:

• High catalytic activity

• Thermal and mechanical stability

• Cost-effectiveness compared to alternative metals

• Long operational life in high-pressure reactors

Applications

The Iron catalyst supplied by B.F.S is ideal for:

• Fertilizer production (urea, ammonium nitrate)

• Industrial chemicals

• Hydrogen storage research

• Energy-efficient ammonia plants

Reliable Supply, Assured Quality

At B.F.S, we ensure:

• Consistent purity and composition

• Prompt delivery

• Technical support for installation and operation

• Custom packaging based on client requirements

Whether you are setting up a new ammonia plant or maintaining existing operations, B.F.S is your reliable partner for sourcing Iron (Fe) catalysts that meet industry standards and performance expectations.
