    The Haber process is an important industrial process that produces ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen gases. It involves reacting nitrogen from air and hydrogen mainly from methane at high temperatures of 400-450°C and pressures of around 200 atmospheres using an iron catalyst. The ammonia produced is then removed from the reaction mixture by cooling and liquefying it to produce fertilizer that increases global food production.
