Abstract

A method for producing synthesis gas and ammonia by forming a synthesis gas mixture; separating solids from the synthesis gas mixture; subjecting the synthesis gas mixture to a shift reaction and separating the reaction products by a pressure swing adsorption unit. The hydrogen and nitrogen separated in the pressure swing adsorption unit are fed to an ammonia reactor to produce ammonia.
