Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a method for converting nitrogen (N 2 ) into nitrate and/or ammonia comprising the steps of compressing air and separating nitrogen (N 2 ) and oxygen (O 2 ) therefrom, and either reacting earth alkaline metal with oxygen to produce earth alkaline metal oxide, using the high temperatures obtained to react N 2 and O 2 to NO, converting the NO with O 2 to NO 2 . followed by the reaction of NO 2 with water to result in HNO 3 and NO; or reacting the nitrogen obtained with earth alkaline metal to produce earth alkaline metal nitride and reacting thereof with water to result in earth alkaline metal hydroxide and ammonia.
