Portable Plasma Device for Green Nitrate/Nitrite Fertilizer
Atmospheric Pressure Portable Catalytic Air Plasma System for Fast Synthesis of Aqueous Nitrate & Nitrite Fertilizers
Tags: Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, India, Agriculture & Food, Industrial Automation & Manufacturing
This technology introduces a portable atmospheric pressure catalytic air plasma system for rapidly synthesizing nitrogen-based fertilizers, specifically nitrates and nitrites, directly from air and water. The system operates using a thermal plasma torch, producing high concentrations of nitrate and nitrite in a green process with zero carbon footprint. It is designed for decentralized, on-site fertilizer production, making it suitable for integration into irrigation networks. Applications include sustainable, on-demand nitrogen fertilizer synthesis for agriculture, reducing dependency on conventional high-emission methods like the Haber-Bosch process.
