Process for the synthesis of ammonia from a make-up gas containing hydrogen and nitrogen, said process comprising: generation of a synthesis gas (8) containing hydrogen and nitrogen in a molar ratio lower than 3, inside a front-end section (2); a first cryogenic purification, designed to remove nitrogen and raise said molar ratio; conversion of the synthesis gas into ammonia (13) inside a highpressure synthesis loop (6), with extraction from said loop of a purge stream (14) containing hydrogen and inert gases; wherein at least a portion of said purge stream (14) undergoes a further purification in order to recover at least part of the hydrogen contained therein, obtaining at least one stream (15, 15a, 16, 18) containing recovered hydrogen which is recycled to the process. |
