BASF S6-10 catalysts are commonly used for this process. Alternatives to this process include the use of Molybdenum-HIPT catalysts in the Yandulov-Schrock cycle, and the catalyst most often used for it was developed by Alwin Mittasch.

Gerhard Ertl won the 2007 Nobel for elucidating this process' mechanism, whose rate limiting step is (*) adsorption to the iron catalyst. 3-5% of the world's natural gas is consumed in this highly exothermic process, which occurs at very high pressures in a classic application of Le Chatelier's principle. For 10 points, name this industrial process which generates ammonia from nitrogen, developed by a German.
