Question

Which process is involved in N2 fixation from air?

(a) Wisconsin process

(b) 2 NaNO3 + H2SO4 process

(c) Ammonia oxidation process

(d) Fission fragments process

The question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

My query is from Inorganic Chemical in section Inorganic Chemical Industries of Chemical Technology

Answer 1

Right option is (a) Wisconsin process

For explanation I would say: In wisconsin process production of NO and NO2 by high temperature(2,200 C) reaction using air in gas-fired pebble bed heater followed by quick quench. In fission fragments process air exposed to radiation in a nuclear reactor to form NO.
